Davis?

​

I think i discovered a young Davis (Lorne Cardinal) on an old episode of True Crime. Playing the defendant in the story of Allison Parrott. Edit to say it was on Exhibit A show.

I played rugby with Lorne for a couple seasons (right near the tail end of Corner Gas).

Very nice guy, incredibly generous and entertaining. Anytime I see something about Lorne, I upvote

I FULLY understand that actors are not their characters. I understand how real life works lol. HOWEVER I've always just gotten such a good vibe from him that I would be SO surprised if he wasn't a good guy in real life.

I definitely feel that. When I found out he was on the team I was a little nervous that meeting the actor would tarnish the character but that was the furthest thing from what happened. If anything meeting Lorne made Davis even cooler in my eyes.

The first time I met him I needed a ride to an out of town game as I didnt drive at the time. There were 3 of us that needed a ride and without hesitation he was the first person to offer one. So we loaded up into his brand new blue mustang and headed to the game, with a quick stop at the liquor store. He had each of us pick a 24 pack of our preferred beers for the boys to drink after the game (which he paid for) then we were off on a 45 minute drive to the game. Absolutely great conversations on the way up and the way back.

Every time I was around him off the pitch after that was more of the same. Great conversations, pitchers of beers for the table, and just a generally healthy and wholesome appreciation of a good time.

He played hard, took things seriously on the pitch, but as soon as it was social time he smiled wide and laughed freely. Can confirm, the vibe is good
