the Dean character, Woolvett found himself fantasizing about meeting with Bernardo, now in Kingston Penitentiary serving a life sentence for the murders of Ontario teenagers Leslie Mahaffey and Kristen French. "To go in and sit down and talk to him for a little while just to see how he is in real life," he said. "It would have been great to stand there in front of him and thank him for being able to play him as an actor and then just tell him to f--- right off and go to hell." The Hunt was directed by Steve Surjik, next week's closer by Da Vinci's Inquest creator Chris Haddock. "There's this one shot that's just a Winnebago out on the prairie. We've taken some young thing from a bar and drugged her up and taped her up and put her in a box," Woolvett said. "This yellow light is coming from the Winnebago and the sky is just turning that deep blue. They spend about two minutes encircling this Winnebago for the shot and from inside you hear a little bit of the scene going on. It's just really horrid stuff." Woolvett, a Hamilton-area native, has been spending a horrid amount of time on planes lately. He's part-way through the Vancouver-filming feature Y2K with Andie McDowell and Lou Gossett Jr., in which he plays a computer genius fighting a millennium bug threatening to unleash a U.S. biological missile on the world. And he's been commuting to half a world away and the Prague set of the CBC-CBS miniseries Joan Of Arc. "The first night I was in Prague, I hooked up with Olympia Dukakis. She's like, 'Do you want to come to the opera?' I'm like 'Yeah.' I'm all jet-lagged, I'm all tired, but I'm sitting there thinking 'I can go to the operetta with Olympia Dukakis.' Right on." |
