Kirk grew up in a small town called Pembroke, ON. People would always confide in him so he thought, why not get paid for it. Little did he know that after 20 years of working in Social Services that he would have a great career and make roughly 10,000 more than when he started. However, his choice was clear; did he want to become a walking heart attack or get the hell out! The latter prevailed. Kirk is passionate about music, playing saxophone, singing, and stained glass. Kirk's philosophy in life is 2 things: He is a pessimistic optimist, meaning yeah thing will get better but probably not and #2 He who dies with the most toys.....WINS!!!

Mitchell Alvis is a Toronto stand-up comedian and has been working at Tim Horton's for ten years.

Met up with my old friend from my Ottawa Caeden to go over a script he's been working on. Afterward, we decided to do a podcast in the restaurant so the sound isn't the best, but nonetheless still a great conversation about how he got into acting. Here's a mini-bio by Howard Beal from his IMDB page: Source "Caeden is an award-winning Canadian actor and screenwriter. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, but raised everywhere else, Caeden was no stranger to drama as a child, mostly of his own doing. He always jumped at the chance to make others smile and laugh, your typical class clown. Caeden loves to write. Next, to acting, writing is his other passion. He bought his first version of Final Draft when he was in high school and has written numerous short films and feature films since. When not acting or writing you can find Caeden neck deep in textbooks. Not for school, but for pleasure. He reads an enormous amount of non-fiction, for he believes one can never know enough about anything." Twitter: @CaedenLawrenc
