InSecurity’s Richard Yearwood transitions to directing/producing

Richard Yearwood is Benjamin N'udu

From Sway Magazine:

  • Veteran actor Richard Yearwood makes smooth transition into directing/producing
    “The character of N’udu positively subverts the stereotype of the aggressive and dangerous African spy,” he says. “I’m excited, as I’ve been working to ensure that we see various sides and layers to N’udu as the season progresses.” That progression includes reflection of the immigrant experience in trying to assimilate while holding onto one’s roots. “Our audience now knows the respective characters, and now we can get into how they interact with one another. I think that people will be happily surprised by N’udu’s character and with how the second season turns out.” Read more.

Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays

CBC finds excellence with Michael: Tuesdays & Thursdays

From Scott Stinson of the National Post:

  • CBC: Good programming lives here
    Conveniently, there’s a new CBC show that is not just good, it is excellent. Michael: Tuesdays & Thursdays, a half-hour comedy created by Don McKellar and Bob Martin, follows the lives of Michael (Matt Walsh) and David (Bob Martin), the therapist he visits twice a week. Michael, who is beset by an array of phobias — the closing credits describe the series as “based on the neuroses of Matt Walsh” — has been seeing David for 15 years, over which time he has become at least functional, if still rather skittish.
