Best Male Theatre Actor

Coast readers continue to hold the Merritt Award-winning, British-born actor and director in high esteem, and well they should. A regular on stages at Shakespeare By The Sea, Neptune and at Festival Antigonish, he is a multiple-threat creator, having recently directed the short film Wake, now on the festival circuit. And don’t be surprised if his one-man take on The Christmas Carol returns one wintry eve.
