From Ruth Myles of the Calgary Herald:

• I Smell A Rat
  “Richard (Fitz) Fitzpatrick was born 40 years too late and four buddies short of a Rat Pack. The anti-hero of Call Me Fitz says things like ‘ring-a-ding-ding, baby, ring-a-ding-ding’ and dreams of working the stage in his own old-school lounge before taking the show to Vegas. Then again, he’s never come across a substance that he doesn’t gleefully abuse, drops lines like ‘f.. k Jerry’s kids’ and is an embezzling, duplicitous skirt chaser. Did I mention that he’s an anti-hero?” Read more.

From Victoria Ahearn of the Canadian Press:

• Jason Priestley on lewd ‘Call Me Fitz’ role: ‘I think he’s fantastic.’
  “‘Oh man, I think he’s fantastic,’ Priestley, 41, said in a recent interview. ‘He’s beautiful in his simplicity. He’s very myopic and he has given no thought to the future ramifications of what he’s doing.'” Read more.

From Andrew Ryan of the Globe and Mail:

• Jason Priestley: No more Mr. Nice Guy
  “The dastard drought ends with Call Me Fitz (Sunday, HBO Canada at 9 p.m.). The original series casts former Beverly Hills, 90210 mainstay Jason Priestley as one Richard Fitzpatrick, a wretched womanizer besotted by booze, addled by drugs and seemingly without a single redeeming quality. Even more unforgivably, he’s a used-car salesman.” Read more.
