"I don't think I would be getting any of these movies without that show, and that's a strong show, a great fan base and it's helped me out a lot. It took me out of Canada and brought me down to the states and gave me my career basically"
About this Quote
The wording does quiet work. “Any of these movies” frames his filmography not as a natural ascent but as a contingent outcome, dependent on the momentum of a prior platform. When he calls the series “strong,” he’s praising the product, but he’s also signaling durability in an industry that churns through content. “Great fan base” reads like more than appreciation; it’s an acknowledgment that audiences function as informal employers, renewing relevance season after season.
Then there’s the geography, slipped in with almost comic straightforwardness: “It took me out of Canada and brought me down to the states.” That’s not just a travel anecdote. It’s a reminder that Hollywood remains an imperial center; crossing that border still marks the difference between working steadily and being in the room where careers are scaled. “Gave me my career basically” lands with disarming humility, but also a sharp awareness of how little control actors sometimes have. He’s not selling myth. He’s crediting infrastructure: one role, one fan community, one industry doorway that swung open.
