Re: [Leica] Who's playing Ted Grant in the movie?

Ted:

A lot of the movie was shot in Halifax.  At one point they were using a 
social club next to our yacht club for a location.

I would see the Trudeau actor in StevoReno's (PAW 2) when he was getting 
his daily cup of coffee.  I also see some of the cast of This Hour Has 22 
minutes in there a few times a week.

BTW, I can always find your posts in Eudora by looking for the red pepper 
mood meter.  I don't know if it was the word damn or bullshit that set it 
off.  I suspect it is bullshit, as it underlines it with a red and green 
line when I type it.


Regards,

Robert
