Torrens Makes it Big.....well sort of
June 22, 2004 at 9:03 am AST by Rodney MacLeod

Had trouble sleeping last night and found myself watching Joe Schmo 2 around 2:00am. I am not a big fan of the Joe Schmo show, but if I am lying in bed trying to fall asleep then I will watch it. Imagine my surprise when I saw that "The Gotta-be-gay-guy" was the island prodigy Jonathan Torrens. Again npt a big fan, but it is nice to see that he is getting a role on US network TV. I was thinking it was a bit risky using an actor that actually has been on TV. One trip up to Canada and good memory and one of the Schmos might recongnize Jonathan, and with Trailer Park Boys becoming a cult favourite I would think that it would be risky using Jonathan. Maybe the other actors are the same too, just I never saw them before.

Well.....Rod's posting his thoughts online. Ok everybody, the Internet is now uncool. Let's go and try to figure something else out.

I was walking down Queen St. in Toronto one day last fall and Jonathan was filming something in the convenience store just around the corner from my apartment. I was like, "hey! cool, he's a celebrity!"
Then I was like "well, kind of."

Joe Schmoe 2 rocks! But isn't kind of dangerous putting a celebrity (*) as one of the fake contestants?

I woke up one day last week and saw movie production trailers lined up our street, after work I decided to check it out and who did I see that was seemingly in control but Jonathan Torrens. The movie is Assault on Precinct 13, with some big name cast members. He is also pretty funny in Trailer Park Boys as JRock.
