None of my colleagues appeared to recognize him. And rather than stand up and point at him and scream: "That's a Canadian Actor!!", I decided to keep my cool, and mention it later.
We enjoyed a lovely meal and eventually left the restaurant.
As soon as the doors closed behind us, I asked if anyone else recognized the man.
Alas, no one did.
So it was on me to remember which show/movie I'd seen him on.
Back at the office, I rolled up my sleeves and did some google searches on this guy.
What I knew was:
- he's an actor
- on a Canadian show/movie
- he played a sort of dramatic role
My Google search looked something like this:
male + Canadian + actor + drama + television
The results included lots of pictures of Ryan Gosling, but none of this man.
So I enlisted the help of one of my coworkers who used wikipedia to find a list of all the Canadian tv shows and read the dramatic-sounding ones aloud to me.
And then I IMDB'd any of the contenders.
It was very futile.
Eventually I gave up and went home.
At home I did some more Google searching.
In vain.
Fast forward to a week later, I'm sitting in a coffee shop with my BFF, chatting about life.
Somehow I got on the topic of this frustration: The unknown Canadian actor.
I was describing to her how I recognize his face from some Canadian show, but can't figure out which.
her reply: "Oh. Like that train show or something?"
she.is.brilliant.
It was Andrew Kenneth Martin (a.k.a Charles Lucas) from Train 48
