    Of course we all know that Michael is an accomplished hockey player himself and MASSIVE Canucks and ice hockey fan so I'm sure this role will be a dream come true for him....

          This is so amazingly cool! I'm intrigued as to how he landed this...I mean aside from his acting talent. I'm having a hard time seeing seeing Michael as Howe, facially...Howe had a long, lantern-jawed face...Michael's got a pretty square jaw too, but his entire face is broader.
          Were Michael's hockey skills better than any one else who auditioned? Howe shot both left and right handed...is Michael ambidextrous?
          Not that any of these questions will dim my enthusiasm for this project...will definitely be watching this.

            Michael's just answered a question on Twitter re: the ambidextrous thing....he says his training for the part is incoporating that ...


            I guess the producers & directors were happy enough with the looks thing if they gave him the part...

              Well yes I did see that, but in his usual vague way all he did was confirm that it was part of the training...there was nothing about whether he had a natural inclination that way.

                Well it looks like he's throwing his heart and soul into the part.....apparently training well and suffering...as this is a PG forum I won't link but if you want to check out his Twitter he'll keep you up to date in his own inimitable "Twitter way"...

                    Looks like filming begins today....must say I never thought I'd see the words "Michael Shanks" and "Chucky" (yes THAT Chucky) on the same page....however in the Winnipeg Free Press you do..

                      That is great news for Michael Shanks. I hope he continues to land roles. He is a really good actor IMO.

                        So I don't do Twitter but I have been managing to follow the stuff that MS is posting and I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing the resemblance between MS and Howe that others seem to be seeing...maybe it'll take seeing it 'live'.

                            Neither do I, but on the other end I don't see the resemblance between Michael and Ben Browder of which everybody is so sure...either way, better Michael

                              For me it's more important for me to believe in and get totally wrapped up in the story to a point where physical resemblence by the actor to the character is really secondary....that's the sign of a good actor to me....
