| Master Fan   | Hugh Dillon: Because is there anything Hugh can't do? Combining acting with a distinguished career as a singer songwriter, Hugh Dillon is a dark horse that has been galvanized as one of North America's most respected performers. Dillon first earned notoriety in Canada and abroad as the lead singer in the multi-platinum rock and roll band, The Headstones. Signed to Universal Music in the early nineties, the band released six albums. It was early on in The Headstones' success when Hugh caught the attention of legendary filmmaker Bruce McDonald. Bruce cast Hugh in Dance Me Outside in 1994. Next came his critically acclaimed lead performance as Joe Dick in McDonald's 1996 feature film, Hard Core Logo. Quentin Tarantino distributed the movie through his company and brought international attention to the indie classic and its lead actor. The Genie nominated actor has since starred in the critically acclaimed Sundance Film Festival award winning movie, Down To The Bone alongside Vera Farmiga (The Departed) as well as notable roles in Feature Films Lone Hero, Assault On Precinct 13, The Trailer Park Boys: The Movie and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning. Hugh's ability to capture honest, realistic portrayals of complicated characters has been his calling card. In 2007 he starred as Mike Sweeney in the dark and twisted serial Durham County. His performance as Ed Lane in the CBS/CTV co-production Flashpoint is his first step across the border in network primetime and will hit the small screen this July. Other television appearances have included The Eleventh Hour, ReGenesis and Degrassi: The Next Generation. Dillon has never strayed far from his musical roots, bringing his music with him to film and television. Listen carefully to Durham County, the upcoming Jennifer Lynch-directed movie Surveillance, Trailer Park Boys: The Movie, and more and you'll hear some of his latest musical treats. In between on screen takes he retreated to The Tragically Hip's Bathouse Studio near his hometown of Kingston, Ontario, and recorded new tracks with Hip-ster Paul Langlois (producer). His aptly titled album Works Well With Others, will be out soon. - June 2008. source  Hugh's newest TV project - Flashpoint: Flashpoint, about an elite police squad based in Toronto, was off to a great start on Friday, with over one million Canadian viewers and over eight million American viewers tuning in for the premiere on CTV and CBS—despite the lackluster 10 p.m. time slot. source   Other work in television and film  __________________ What Was Left Unsaid | The Past Hasn't Gone Anywhere Last edited by kaleidocat; 08-02-2008 at 04:05 PM. | |||

| Master Fan | Hehe, glad you like the thread. Just another way I can try to get more people interested in my Hugh. Hugh looks like he's going to be part of the main focus on next week's episode The Element of Surprise. Promo.  He's so going to tell off that rookie cop!  I love it when he smiles. __________________ What Was Left Unsaid | The Past Hasn't Gone Anywhere | |||

| Elite Fan | Mel - the show is really good! Finally watched the second episode and he was amazing in the control room. I loved when he stepped out and went to the room to help out the negotiator. I'm still learning names.  | |||

| Elite Fan | The show is doing great. It will swap nights with Swingtown. Flashpoint moved to the Thurday, 10pm spot. I like Swingtown but Flashpoint is getting better ratings on Friday which is probably the worst night for any tv show to be in. If the ratings improve on Thursday, that will mean a good chance at a second season. | |||

| Master Fan | I love that Callie! I'd be sucking on the glass. Did some snooping and found some Hugh Flashpoint icons at bluebelle789's livejournal.    Awwww! Be sure to credit bluebelle789 if you use any...I didn't make these but thought maybe someone wants to use a lovely Hugh icon! __________________ What Was Left Unsaid | The Past Hasn't Gone Anywhere | |||
