Paul Gross. I'm currently obsessed with the Canadian TV Show he stars in, "Slings & Arrows." The third season just started on The Sundance Channel. If you've never watched it, you don't know what you're missing! It's an absolutely brilliant show about the onstage and backstage antics of a Shakespearean Theatre Company. I've even started a group on myspace for it, Click Here .
That's Paul on the left, with Don McKellar and Mark McKinney who also star in the show (oh, yes, did I mention that the cast is amazing also? Sarah Polley is guest starring this season! Hooray!).

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic
Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.
Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski
If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?
First of all, can I just say how much I love my DVR? What did the world ever do before this was invented?? The ability to fast forward through commercials, to record two shows on two different channels at the same time, all with the freedom from any kind of time constraint or bad quality video tape! It's all so lovely and amazing! Ok, now for my list:
~ The Amazing Race
~ American Dad
~ American Idol (I truly can't help myself)
~ Most anything on BBCAmerica especially Ground Force, but only the old ones with Alan Titchmarsh (his poetry about shrubbery has a calming effect on me)
~ China Beach
~ The Colbert Report
~ The Daily Show
~ Deadwood
~ Dexter
~ Old Dungeons and Dragons cartoons - totally my fave cartoon as a kid!
Which Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon Character Are You?
You are Sheila, the Thief. You are always willing to lend a hand and you have a really cool Cloak of Invisibility.

Oscar Wilde: The Picture of Dorian Gray. You are a
horror novel from the world of dandies, rich
pretty boys, art and aesthetics, and
intellectual debates between ethical people and
decadent pleasure-seekers. You value beauty and
pleasure but realize their dangers, as well.
