Star Pick with Justin Paul Kelly
Just this past weekend, I was lucky enough to interview Justin Paul Kelly at the eleventh edition of CAPE – or the Cornwall and Area Pop Event. For those of you who have young kids at home, you’ll immediately know his cadence, for Justin was the voice of Paw Patrol’s Chase from 2018-2023 – encompassing an impressive 129 episodes, as well as voicing the role in several tv movies (including Paw Patrol: Jet to the Rescue and Paw Patrol: Super Rescue). As for something more related to adult viewing, Justin had a ten episode arc as Harlan on season two of the Netflix superhero series The Umbrella Academy (2019-2024).

Star Pick with Ben Briscoe
Playing the GameLayer CakeJuly 13, 2014I am sure that most of you may recall my review last summer with Canadian PGA golfer Riley Wheeldon (who had such a good year that he has advanced to the Web.com Tour – just one step below the PGA tour), who said that his favourite movie was Happy Gilmore. I was actually lucky enough to golf with a second pro last year; Welshman, Ben Briscoe. Briscoe attended the qualifier, which was played at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club, and sadly did not make the cut (which would have sent him to Upper Canada Golf Course to play in the Great Waterway Classic), giving him the less satisfying runner-up prize of playing a round of golf with me.

Star Pick with Riley Wheeldon
Be Happy With GilmoreHappy GilmoreAugust 28, 2013Last Tuesday, I was lucky enough to play in the Pro-Am Golf Tournament that was part of the week long festivities of the PGA Canada Tour event known as the Great Waterways Classic which was held at Upper Canada Golf Course in Morrisburg. The weather was beautiful, the course was in excellent shape, and our group teed off with pro golfer Riley Wheeldon – who, as of today, is the top moneymaker on the Canadian Tour this year. It was a superb day full of memorable moments and it did not take too long before the conversation turned to movies. It may be no surprise but Wheeldon’s favourite film of all-time is the classic 1996 golf comedy Happy Gilmore.
