Flashpoint is a CTV-produced police drama starring Hugh Dillon, former lead singer of The Headstones. Hugh Dillon is a great name. It oozes macho. Really, if that wasn’t his actual name I’m pretty sure the producers of the show would have had him change it to that. Here’s Hugh in a promo shot for the show:
“Look serious. No, more serious. More. Turn it up about 20 notches. No, 100 notches. There’s this guy and he’s hurting kittens. A terrorist hurting kittens. And grannies. The grannies are saving the kittens from a fire. Serious, come on. More serious. MORE. You are grim and determined. You have steely eyes. Seriously steely-eyes and the musky stench of determined grimness. Very very serious. You are a man. A serious man. You have a gun. You have no hair because men don’t need hair. Hair is not serious but good god man, YOU ARE SERIOUS. And…that’s a wrap. Brie with bagels for lunch, let’s go!”
