    22: Tantoo Cardinal
    Apr 2 2019
    Tantoo Cardinal is ready for her close-up. At 68 years old, and after 48 years as an actress on stage and screen — a run that’s earned her everything from the Order of Canada to the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television’s Earle Grey Award for lifetime achievement — the Indigenous actress has finally landed her first starring role in a feature film. It seems improbable, after a celebrated career that includes roles in films like Dances With Wolves and Legends of the Fall, that Cardinal had never received top billing, but Falls Around Her, a film about an Anishinaabe musician (Cardinal) who returns to her northern Ontario community in a futile attempt to return to the land and leave fame behind, corrects that oversight. Mike conducted this interview with Cardinal last September via cellphone, as the actress was out and about preparing for the film’s world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival. Nevertheless, Cardinal discussed everything from Falls Around Her to her childhood artistic influences, activism, the importance of Indigenous filmmaking and so much more.

    21: Mary Walsh
    Mar 28 2019
    Canadian comedy legend Mary Walsh has enough Awards to, well, last a lifetime. The 66-year-old CODCO alum, who created and co-starred on This Hour Has 22 Minutes — appearing most famously as political reporter Marg Delahunty, taking Prime Ministers and other politicos to task in hilarious fashion — has previously been honoured with both the Governor General’s Performing Arts Lifetime Achievement Award and the Order of Canada. And now, at the Canadian Screen Awards on Sunday, March 31, she’ll receive the Earle Grey Award for her extensive career and influence on Canadian comedy. Using the term “wrinkled radicals” to describe women in their third act of life, Walsh is on a personal crusade, both personally and professionally, to redefine the boundaries of what can be accomplished by people in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. As such, she sat down with Ages & Icons in the Zoomerplex in downtown Toronto for one of the funniest episodes we’ve ever recorded.

    20: David Hasselhoff and Billy Baldwin
    Mar 22 2019
    It’s two for the price of one in this Ages & Icons double-header, featuring a pair of hunky 1990s Hollywood heroes discussing how they’ve stepped up once again to save the day. The Hoff - David Hasselhoff is back to save Berlin, and the world, against the backdrop of the Cold War in the brand new Audible audiobook Up Against the Wall – which he also wrote, narrates and voices all the characters for. We talk to the 66-year-old about this new international adventure as well as his career, Knight Rider reminiscences and more before Gina does the unthinkable and, you guessed it, hassles the Hoff. Next up is Billy Baldwin, the 56-year-old brother of Alec, Daniel and Stephen and the sibling who’s most earned the moniker “the Canadian Baldwin.” In our interview, the star of the 1991 firefighter drama Backdraft recalls decades spent filming movies and TV shows in every corner of Canada, as well as championing countless philanthropic efforts in the Great White North, and the one obscure film of his that Canadian fans love.
