I recently shot a promo video for Telus. It was a "Wheel of Fortune" spoof for internal use. I played Vanna White in her early days of course with a gentleman named Ted Bisaillion, who played Pat Sajak. They changed our names to Matt and Hanna and put me in a bright, blonde wig (I now know I can never be a blonde) and a hideous, yet perfect purple gown. I gained an extra ten pounds worth of fake diamonds that day, which is always nice.

I got the job through an actor friend of mine who recommended me to the company and passed on my comedy demo to them.  We had a quick meeting about the concept, characters etcetera and then got right to work. 

It was a one day shoot in a studio downtown Toronto and was done entirely on green screen, which is always an adventure.  Especially when you're seeing and pointing at things that don't exist.   The spot was written and directed by two lovely ladies with a great sense of humour, Kathryn Perry and Victoria Freeman.  They both made sure the day ran as smoothly as possible.  A special thank you to the wardrobe king for making it look like I have cleavage :)
