The Boy from ET

About Me

From the mind and voice behind Peter Mansbridge and the CBCs comes a musical docudrama virtually without precedent. In The Boy from ET’s _Lives the Part_, Henry A. Svec takes on the role of Henry Thomas, the actor who has appeared in such films as ET, Cloak and Dagger, Legends of the Fall, and Gangs of New York. Not widely known is the fact that Henry Thomas is Canadian (from Tillsonburg, Ontario), that Stompin’ Tom is his uncle, that he is a committed Québécois Separatist, that he wrote many of Broken Social Scene’s songs, and that he has co-written poetry with French actor Gerard Depardieu. Listen to Henry tell these and other true stories as he plays the songs that record in detail an impossibly fascinating life. The Boy from ET's new record is $15.00, shipping included, and you can click below to buy it: The Boy from ET's _Lives the Part_ is a faux-live performance recorded by Andy Magoffin at House of Miracles Studios in London, ON, and by WL Altman at Mel's Tea Room in Sackville, NB.
