Geddy Lee's acting career continues!

[Bahamas]

CBC television in Canada has had a long running series called Murdoch Mysteries, a campy lower budget mystery series set back in time during the 1890s to early 1900s.

Based on the novels by Maureen Jennings, a series of murders in Toronto are investigated by a young detective William Murdoch.

 

The next episode on Monday March 21 will include Geddy as a carriage driver.

 

Should get lots of hits by searching Geddy Lee Murdoch...

It's a small part of a subplot, but humour prevails.

 

At one point the investigator asks the driver his name.

 

"Sawyer. Tom Sawyer."

 

So fun. I love that man :)

They're missing an opportunity if there's not a sign on the side of his carriage that says "Rides not available to priests or politicians"

With another sign below it:

Still,

 

Pretty cool he wants to be a part of more projects.

Or...Continue making Moving Pictures?

:dweez: (I looked for an excuse to use a meme and found it!)

I watched the episode. I didn't know the series was humorous, a bit silly, but Geddy's scenes fit right in.

 

I got three references from his career, there might have been more?

 

The name "Tom Sawyer".

Suggesting a cabin not too far away "It's no Xanadu".

And just after a baby is born in the show, he says "Celebrate the moment", a quote from One Little Victory, or perhaps just a coincidence.

But, I wonder, given a chance to include Neil in the works of things, it was a pivotal time in the band and the title track of Vapor Trails did have those words in the title track.

It was a celebration that Neil was back and ready to play.

 

My thoughts.

I don't have Acorn or live in the Canada.
