Title: All I Need ... is Frisco Jones
Contributor(s): Hoy, Brenda (Contributor)
Type of Resource: still image
Date Created: 2015-11-01
Description: Soap opera heartthrob, Jack Wagner, from 'General Hospital' (Frisco Jones), 'Bold and the Beautiful' (Dominick Payne), and 'Melrose Place' (Dr. Peter Burns). He also had a hit song in 1985 - 'All I Need'. He was in town November 2015 filming a TV series called 'When Calls the Heart'. I saw him walking in downtown Vancouver on his day off. While he looked familiar, our conversation got off to an awkward start, as someone told me that he was somebody else. After the initial mistaken identity, I was thrilled when I realized who he was, as I was a big fan of 'General Hospital' and 'Melrose Place' during the years he was on those shows.

Description: Canadian actor, made Hello! Canada's Most Beautiful list for 2016. He has filmed in Vancouver on numerous occasions - for 'The Tomorrow People', 'X-Files', 'The Flash'. In August 2014, he was in town filming for 'The Flash' (playing duo role of Ronnie Raymond/Deathstorm). I saw him walking along Robson Street - I think he was getting a coffee before going to set. He was happy to take a selfie with a fan - even took two pictures to make sure I was happy with at least one of them!

Type of Resource: still image
Date Created: 2016-06-01
Description: American actor, best known for playing Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He also was the voice of Mumble in Happy Feet. He was recently in town this spring/summer to film a new TV series called Dirk Gently, to air on BBC America. In late June, he was gracious enough to stop for a picture while on a break from filming an outdoor walking scene at Guelph Park in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. There are few photos of him flashing his pearly whites, so I especially like this picture because of his winning smile!

Description: American actor, Elijah Wood, best known for playing Frodo Baggins in the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. He also was the voice of Mumble in 'Happy Feet'. He was recently in town this spring/summer to film a new TV series called 'Dirk Gently', to air on BBC America. In May, I caught up with him in downtown Vancouver shortly after his arrival and before filming got started. He was very polite, and signed a 'Lord of the Rings' DVD insert for my daughter. He seemed happy to be back in Vancouver - was last here around 14 years ago he said, so this wasn't his first time in our beautiful city.

Description: Photograph of myself with with well known producer, director, and Oscar nominee, Tim Burton. His projects include 'Alice in Wonderland', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Frankenweenie', and 'Corpse Bride'. In August 2013, he was in Gastown working on the movie 'Big Eyes', about painter Margaret Keane. While getting dropped off at his trailer one evening, I managed to catch him briefly for a quick photo. Despite looking preoccupied and probably focused on the night's work ahead, he was pleasant and obliging.
