Interview: Shawn Ashmore of Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures

From Judith Klassen of Movie Entertainment:

  • The Doctor is In
    “I recently sat down in Toronto with Canadian actor Shawn Ashmore to talk about his latest projects, having a twin in the business and playing doctor. Ashmore laughs when I suggest it might put stress on brotherly love if Shawn or his identical twin Aaron (Smallville) were to work as the other’s stand-in. “You’d be surprised how many people on film sets will say, ‘Oh, you have a twin brother – and vice versa to Aaron – does he want to come in and do stunts?’” Ashmore shakes his head. “Right, it’s too dangerous for me, but I’ll put my brother in the line of fire.” Read more.

New tonight: Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures on HBO Canada – series premiere “How to Get Ahead in Medical School”

BLOODLETTING & MIRACULOUS CURES
Sunday, January 10 at 8 p.m.

As Ming (Mayko Nguyen) gets ready to proceed with her plans for artificial insemination, her husband, Chen (Byron Mann), is stressed and fantasizing about street races and infidelity. The sperm donor, Fitz (Shawn Ashmore), their medical school classmate and Ming’s former boyfriend, is considering reinstatement at the hospital which stirs up a lot of unresolved issues. His return would also create more tension between the trio since he wouldn’t be an absentee donor after all, but working alongside the couple every day.

From me at Blogcritics:

  • Love and Medicine Tangle in Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures
    “HBO Canada’s latest series, debuting tonight, brings with it a built-in audience. Adapted by Jason Sherman from Vincent Lam’s bestselling, Giller-winning book of interconnected short stories, the television version of Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures also brings with it inevitable comparisons. The verdict? It’s not the book. But it’s compelling TV.” Read more.
