My work on Billy Trigger didn't end with my demise. Like everyone else involved with the movie, I chipped in and did my part moving lights and props and taking behind-the-scenes pictures for the film's Facebook page. From left to right: Deke Richards, Fred Williamson, makeup artist Marlene Jacques, Anderson Bradshaw, Meghan Gabruch, sound man Dimitri Medard, John Fallon and director Christian Viel. The Hammer wrapped filming on the Friday, but not before I got to read lines for him during a scene where he talks with Bruno (played by Battlestar: Galactica's Matthew Bennett) on the phone. Bennett had wrapped the week before, so someone had to cue The Hammer to his lines for filming his side of the conversation. I was hanging out in the kitchen when I noticed him looking my way. He gestured me over, and looked very serious. "Read lines for me," he said. So I did. Rehearsal went well but, for some reason, I flubbed my reading during the first couple of ta...

The condo we're shooting in -- literally and figuratively -- is owned by Valerie Wiseman, who also plays Jezebel, one of Pops' minions. And it's a beautiful crib to film in. An open-plan main level with stairs leading up to a bedroom well lit by big windows. Us thugs with Anderson Bradshaw and Fred Williamson There are five of us on the hunt for Billy Trigger, along with Pops of course. My cohorts include Richards, Gouchy Boy (recently seen in Fat Steven Seagal's Maximum Conviction), Neon Cobran and Danny Blanco-Hall. All of them are seasoned actors and stuntmen with lots of action experience. Stunt co-ordinator Anderson Bradshaw has worked with the likes of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, to name a few. He's also a former soldier. Suffice to say, he knows his shit. Anderson gets us ready, handing us knee and elbow pads. You get shot. You fall down. You need protection. Neon puts on a back protector as well because his goon takes a tumble down t...

Looking back at my experience on the set of Billy Trigger, it's all become one big blur. A fast-paced and surreal adventure that won't ever be forgotten. I travelled somewhere I'd never been before, hung out with some great people, met Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, and got my ass killed on film. Pretty awesome stuff really! To break it down: I touched down in Montreal at about 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14, and caught a taxi to the downtown office John Fallon shares with fellow actor/producer Deke Richards, who fans will remember from Deaden. Richards plays mobster Mikey in Billy Trigger. It was good to see The Arrow again, and we caught up over a few whiskies before hitting a local pub, McKibbins, which doubles as the bar owned by The Hammer's character, Pops, in the film. John said I can't come to Montreal and not have some traditional poutine. I've had the dish before, but nothing compares to the plate I downed at McKibbins. Good grub! Then...
