Michael Fox's 2006
"Sybil" – January
Joey Campbell and I had a day as background performers on the movie of the week, "Sybil" starring Jessica Lange, a remake of the 1970s movie.
Charity Dodgeball Tournament – January
I organized the supreme Dodgeball team "The Serious Midnight", consisting of Jonathan Saunders, Joey Campbell, Jeremy Strong, Steve 'Snatch Vegas' Yorke and 'Wolfsbane' Derek Wolf, for a charity tournament at King's College. We were victorious in the first round but lost in the second round to "The Flying Artichokes".

Parks Canada Video Shoot – April
Parks Canada hired a film crew to shoot all the black powder drill demonstrations and ceremonies we perform daily at the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site for which I conducted the main gate guard change, the noonday gun firing and participated in a squad firing.
"North/South" – April
I had two days as a background performer on the new Canadian TV shot "North/South" during a nightclub scene.
Changing of the Guard – July
The Halifax Citadel Regimental Association and Parks Canada coordinated a large festival of drill teams, pipe bands and military performances. I participated in the 78th Highlander black powder firing demonstration and drill show for both one of the evening tattoos and a mock battle on the side of the hill.
The Premiere of "Entherance Online" – August
"Entherance Online" screened at Empire Theatres Park Lane here in Halifax with a near sold out crowd. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the movie and I got a lot of positive feedback. Once again, thank you to everyone who came out to see it.

The Film 5 Program – October
Carla T. Foxe and I applied to the Film 5 program with our project "Katrina's New Beau". Thus far, we have taken several workshops in screenwrighting, directing and production. We are currently developing the project in hopes of being accepted to the second phase of the program in order to produce the film.
"A Lesser Sort of War" – November
After being rejected by the Film 5 program last year, I took it upon myself to produce "A Lesser Sort of War" with a significantly lower budget. This short film was written by Hal Thompson (Author of 'Dudley's Fusiliers' and 'Ghosts and Folklore of the Halifax Citadel') and stars John Johnson, Mark Wolf, Jay Martin, and Steve Yorke.

The Victorian Christmas – November
For the second year in a row, I was "Father Christmas" for the Halifax Citadel's Victorian Christmas. We did several television spots for Live at 5, Breakfast Television and Eastlink Television. I also had a wonderful weekend with all the merry, little children.
365 Days 365 Plays – December
The Dalhousie Theatre Department sponsored the performance of plays for a yearlong, multi-city theatre festival called "365 Days 365 Plays" from playwright Suzan Lori Parks. I shot a brief documentary at "The Halifax 6" portion of the festival for the University's video archives.

"Outlander" and "Pushing Up Daisies" – December
I had two days on the new Jim Caveizel movie "Outlander" as a Viking and also as a 'spaceman' in this ultra-cool "Halo"-esque suit. I also had a small part as a drunken Redneck in a feature film called "Pushing Up Daisies". I usually do as much background work as possible to help my 'mini career' as an actor. I read for "Poor Boy's Game" as well as "October 1970" last year but didn't get the parts.
