• Taking Aim with Flashpoint’s Enrico Colantoni
  “The former Just Shoot Me and Veronica Mars star talked about his series, which focuses on the SRU, a Canadian-based SWAT type unit. Shot in Toronto, the Canadian produced series has become a hit on CBS – and Colantoni and I also spoke about what it’s like starring in one of the only Canadian-shot series on American television that isn’t supposed to be set in the US. You’ll also see Colantoni reference the simulator we used that day, which included footage of actors playing out some very scary scenarios cops find themselves confronting, with the player required to make some very quick, tricky decisions.” Read more.
