Where did I put my notes…?
December 30, 2003
Is it Tuesday already? These weekends seem to be getting shorter and shorter…
Time waits for no man, (or woman) so I guess we’ve only got three days to throw something together for y’all that we can call “the next episode”… perhaps something that will answer the all important question: “Who is that guy on the new characters page that has yet to appear in the series? Are we seeing into the future? Is it a horrible mistake? Only time (and next Friday) will reveal all.
To tide you over, it is my very great pleasure to try to introduce you to Matthew Hoos, the latest (but by no means least) member of our happy gang. Not just the pretty face behind the character of Sam, Matt is the directorial vision behind many things of great importance… like… the show itself. I say “try to introduce” because as my oldest and dearest friend, I know more about Matthew than you can possibly imagine, and trying to summarize his myriad accomplishments in anything less than an epic poem would be futile (this is also my clever way of covering my ass when Matt no doubt accuses me that I left out all the “good stuff”).
As an actor (in theatre, film, and television), Matt’s roles have been far to many to list, he’s performed in various capacities for notable companies such as Decidedly Jazz Danceworks, The University of Calgary, Five E Productions, Storybook Theatre, Stage West, Amalgam Film and Video, Young Canadians Dinner Theatre, Shadow Productions, VFS Productions, Rogers Communications, Evergreen Theatre, Pleiades Theatre and Laughing Day Productions (with whom he was also a founder, artistic director, and director of several of their most popular shows).
He has also been a peerless creative contributor with your humble narrator for the past two decades on such projects as “that science project we did on Gila Monsters”, and “that version of Macbeth we made using Star Trek action figures.”
Matt has a pleasing smell and a calming voice which helps offset his disconcerting unquenchable lust for buffalo-style chicken wings and (alternately) extra lemon wedges for ceaser salads.
He has seen more films than you.
A talented musician in his own right, Matt recieved a special award in 1996 for his stellar work “playing the bells.”
I cannot imagine a better partner or friend, (especially because he’s going to be really peeved about that whole “bells” thing when he reads this tomorrow) and it is my absolute pleasure to introduce him to the front page.

Got something to say?
