When I came into work last year
just before the holidays, I spotted Canadian actor Joe Dinicol in a radio
interview. It was only a side profile but I’m the queen of spotting and I
thought to myself it was definitely an actor I knew. I had no idea what his
name was but I knew he was in a movie with my former co-worker, former Degrassi
cast member, actor John Bregar. They both were in the movie ‘Servitude’. When
his radio interview was over, I went up to him and was like, ‘Hey, you were in
the movie ‘Servitude’ with my buddy John! He was like, ‘That’s right. First gay
guy on Degrassi.” Joe was at my work promoting his play Proof, which apparently
was really good but sadly was not doing as good as it should have. Joe is
signed to a new project and show called ‘The L.A Complex’, where he is a
struggling comedian. TThe show also features other struggling young people
trying to make it into the entertainment industry including, a producer, a
dancer, an actress/singer played by former Degrassi star, Cassie Steele. The
Canadian show is produced by Degrassi producers and directed by none other than
‘Snake’ from the ORIGINAL Degrassi Junior High and current principal Mr.
Simpson, Stefan Brogren! I had a chance to meet the Stefan at the MMVAs and
also at the Degrassi office last year! He’s awesome! The show is great, based
on real event and is addicting! Make sure to watch it http://www.muchmusic.com/tv/thelacomplex/
