https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlvOUn7OX_8 Why dust off the original Holmes on Homes concept now? MIKE: Holmes on Homes: Building a Legacy really is about building a legacy. Because it’s been many years of changes — codes that have changed, probably in part by everything that we do. Katrina to the floods in Calgary, we’ve been everywhere and…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP517-ogZRk&t=7s There’s always a research component when playing a public figure like Leonard Cohen, but at some point do you need to reconcile with the fact that you’re doing a take on this person, and give up trying to imitate them exactly? ALEX: I mean, honestly, I tried not to think about it intellectually…
Was it tough at all for you to get rid of that writer’s mentality of mapping out every single beat of a story, and instead just show up in a place, without a script, and see what happens? That was the challenge. I’ve never been particularly great at public speaking or anything like that.…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfvKrsaZrEA How does English Teacher stand out in this endless ocean of TV content? It’s really about making fun of all of the divisiveness going on in the world right now. Everybody’s right and everybody’s wrong, and we’re making fun of all of you — and everything that’s going on culturally. It becomes more…
The show’s past timeline enters the Second World War era this year. What’s the benefit of telling stories set amidst a big, flashbulb moment in history? We always said that this show needed to be the “epic intimate” — in the same breath. It feels like that’s how life is. I only think about…

And your showrunner, Carla Banks-Waddles, says the series has entered its “sexy era.” What does that mean, exactly? [Laughs] I think you know what “sexy era” means. Come on! There’s a lot of shirts off. It’s a hot…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV6BGl2YA04&t=3s The journey that Rob went on in the first episode of season three — a new job, doubting himself, watching his lover die, having an existential crisis, then you end by shouting “I’m a man and I’m relentless!” in front of your co-workers — arguably could’ve been a season-long story arc for your character…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ4YYaQAcXA Are both Violet and Harley in some state of denial at the start of the show — believing they can hang onto each other even though the world is dragging them in very different directions? LEENAH ROBINSON: I feel like their friendship at the beginning is still very childlike — they’re depending on…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tXiPj0DpLg It seems we’re seeing more and more U.S. actors do series in other countries these days, trusting that the show will make its way to an international audience. Yeah, I think Americans are so ethnocentric that it took a global pandemic for them to start watching more shows and go, “Oh, wait. They…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiXr2qTnTWw How exactly would you say The Amazing Race Canada stands out from the U.S. and other versions? Well, I think it’s the embodiment of who we are as a people.
