Acting has been a lifetime
effort for Tom Hauff, con-
sidering he started in a CBC

Life, That Jack _Built, Tom
aid he thinks he does better
work in film and television.
"1 think I do better Work in
film and television, but stage
work is harder and better for
me, I learn more," he said.,
"It makes me open up
much more," he added.
Theatre tike that in Blyth is
important because Canada
has to develop a sense of
identity, said Tom.
"Canada has to develop a
sense of what 'Canada is, the
only way you can find out in
peacetime is in the arts. You
have tb be shown an identity
that you can relate and aspire
"Thc only way we can
develop a pride in the coun-
try is to be shpwn how
interesting it is." he said.
"With the state of the
world and the §tate of the
provinces, there has to be a
sense of country - of placd,"
he adacd.
Raised in Vancouver, Tom
moved to Toronto in 1974
Where he acted in CBC's
Police -Surgeon, The Peep
Show and Six War Years.
Tom has performed in sever-
al movies including The
'Brethren and Who Has Seen
the Wind when he played the
part of Mr. Digby.
Receiving an ACTRA
award nomination for his
performance in Summer
Children, Tom said he felt
complimented with the nom-
ination.
"I used to thitik the
ACTRA awards were gar-
bage, but once I wasinomin-
ated, I thought it, was a
compliment because it comes
from your peers."
Winning the award he
said, is not as important as
being nominated.
