Even more recent than the territory days, he was still an important figure since he, along with Jeff and others, started what is now Impact Wrestling. At the time, TNA was really the only option in North America for top wrestlers (besides the WWE) since WCW had been sold and ECW had folded.

SpeedFlex27 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 i first watched Gordon Pinsent on the CBC tv series, The Forest Rangers from 1963-66. He plays RCMP Officer Sgt Scott, a Mountie who is stationed at Indian River in Northern Ontario at a Hudson Bay post called Indian River. Rest In Peace, Gordon Pinsent.

Noeller Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Pinsent was a true gem.... this is one of my all time favourite 22 MInutes bits: And also, if you've never seen The Grand Seduction, go stream it today....Pinsent isn't the STAR, per se, but he's fabulous in his role: SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Everybody trashes the CBC but if it wasn't for them we'd probably not know who Gordon Pinsent was. The CBC gave Canadian actors work back in those days. I know Lorne Greene, John Vernon & others got their first tv exposure with the CBC.

Tracker Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Tom Sizemore's Family 'Is Now Deciding-End-Of-Life Matters' For The Actor The "Saving Private Ryan" star has been in a coma since suffering a brain aneurysm on Feb. 19. The family of stricken actor Tom Sizemore is making an “end of life” decision for the “Saving Private Ryan” star after he suffered a brain aneurysm, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sizemore has been in a coma at a Los Angeles-area hospital since the Feb. 19 emergency at his home. The staff has determined there is no chance for recovery, prompting the family’s choice, THR reported on Monday. “Today, doctors informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended end-of-life decision,” spokesperson Charles Lago said in a statement to the outlet. The “family is now deciding end-of-life matters.” “We are asking for privacy for his family during this difficult time, and they wish to thank everyone for the hundreds of messages of support and prayers that have been received,” Lago added. “This has been a difficult time for them.” Sizemore, 61, appeared in Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning World War II movie “Saving Private Ryan” and also played prominent roles in Oliver Stone’s “Natural Born Killers” and Ridley Scott’s “Black Hawk Down.” His life off-screen has been marred by arrests involving domestic abuse and drugs.

Look at the subject this episode was based on. Racism by police & the Canadian justice system. Assumed all Indians were drunks & presumed guilty just because they were Indians. This is 1963.

This sort of crap will continue to exist until aboriginals, Semites, Asians, TGBT people, Slavs, Muslims, Jews, Blacks and so forth realize that what diminishes one diminishes all and when one is attacked, or belittled, that ultimately affects all.

It does but back then it was racism that was hidden. Today, it's out in the open. people are aware that it happens so there's more dilligence by media & Canadians.
