a yet -unpublished novel .during
10 months spent on the continent,
has a documentary film script
to his credit, a scenario attract-
ing interest from Hollywood,
and two television playa on tap
in England.
I was determined to awake
a success of this other thing—
writing an dacting — or get it
out of my system," he says of
his decision to go to England
after a year of coaching in King-
ston.
"I guess I've always had
wanderlust," he admits modest-
ly of his itinerant life. He was
born in London, and at the age
of 14 became a 'sailor, spending
two seasons as a deckhand on
Great Lakes oil tankers.
A tall, husky youth, he en-
tered UWO with his savings
and the support of John Metras,
football coach. There he starred
not only in football, but in his
other great interest, the stage,
He. was a singing actor in
Purple Patches one year, and
played Othello to the lago of•
Walter Massey.
But after graduation he was
at a loss in which direction to
channel his multiplicity of abil-
ities and bents, and that was
when he made a stab at acting
in Vancouver for a while, then
entered professional football with
the Stampeders for two years.
I
He also became an oil stock
salesman during that period and,
between football playing and
stock selling, wrote poetry which
he sold to Vancouver publica-
tions.
This period of his kaleido-
scopic career ended with an in-
jury which terminated his play-
ing days, and he went to Mexico
and Panama for a year of writ-
ing, and then to Kingston and
back to football as it coach.
Back to drama
In Kingston he once more
turned to the stage arid gave
notable performances in drama
guild and revue productions.
From a classmate eame this
tribute: That guy was always
something larger than life. Cer-
tainly he always acted the rest
of us off stage."
On arrival in England for a
determined assault on a career
in theatre and writing, he found
that "I couldn't get a look in
anywhere," so he took whatever
job was handy. One of these was
as a buggy driver for tourists
on Sark.
He returned to London. Eng-
land, a year ago last April from
his sojourn on the continent and
began to find success. He's riow
established as an actor, and he
will oontinue to write, but where
his itching feet will lead him.
next would be impossible to
predict.
"Canada," he says, "has a
buoyant theatre. But what we
need is a playwright who can
give us a serious play on a
twentieth century theme that
doesn't fall back in the third
act on the gas oven, the revol-
ver or the sanity squad."
He also says: "I have no illu-
sions. It's a -tough racket."
Acting, he believes, is simple.
"I'm convinced that people don't
act for money or notices, but
for enjoyment. I've never looked
on acting as work."
Most recently he has been
playing the part of a New York
City policeman in the Arts
Theatre production of Morton
Wishengrad's "Thi; Rope Danc-
ers." His is the only comic role
in this American drama. He has
Ialso played the sheriff in Sam
Wanamaker's "Bus Stop" pro-
duction, and has had roles in
tap television presentations dur-
ing the last year.
