Welcome to Ferreira Fest 5! Pull up a chair, grab a drool bucket, and get ready for a bunch of goodies celebrating Louis Ferreira and his work. Be sure to mop up afterwards. 😉
We’ll start out with the results of some top-notch sleuthing by Agi who was so kind to pass on a few terrific links. Per her recommendations: I remember the CBC interview from earlier, but I realized that if you go to this link , click on the full episode rather than the interview part with him, there are two other segments: at about 2:30 into the video there is a short segment with Louis and his dog (this is verrry adorable) and then about 20 minutes into the video there is a segment with Louis and two other guys (it is a little silly but fun).
Note: the video requires Flash Player which most platforms no longer support, so here are the photos from the episode which are still available at the link above.
Episode Info:

Guest: Louis Ferreira

The Bio
Louis Ferreira is one of those actors you just know. You like horrors? You might have seen Louis in Saw IV, or showing off his zombie skills in the remake of ‘Dawn of the Dead.’ How about hospital dramas? He was on ‘ER‘. And if, like George, you’re a fan of 24, you probably remember Louis from that, too.
Yeah, Louis has covered a lot of ground in his lifetime. He actually was born in Portugal, and got into acting after his family moved to Toronto. Louis took a stage name early on – so, you might actually know him as Justin Louis. He just changed his name back to his birth name last year – after twenty-five years!
Anyway, Louis has done a ton on TV. Guest stints on both ‘CSI‘ and ‘CSI: Miami‘, and played a serious wacko on the critically-acclaimed ‘Durham County‘. Oh, and yeah – that was him as legendary docmaker Albert Maysles in HBO’s much talked about remake of ‘Grey Gardens.’
If there’s still any question about Louis’ versatility, on ‘Star Trek Voyager,’ he even played a holographic tree! Funny thing – he swore he’d never do sci-fi again after spending so many hours in makeup, but what do you know, he’s back – with a lot less makeup, this time – starring as Colonel Young on ‘Stargate Universe.’
And last but not least she found this lucky guy who proudly displays his Louis Ferreira autograph
(link still works but here is the photo anyway).
For the serious collector, here’s a real gem: here are a few copies of the infamous “Ambition” which was apparently released on DVD in Europe, so if you get this DVD please remember it won’t play on your average DVD player, but just about any laptop or computer should be able to do it. There aren’t a lot of copies left, so run, do not walk and get yours: Ambition
SCREEN CAPS
As a special little treat we have some screencaps of Louis’ two episodes on “24“. You may recognize the lady playing his sister! Click here or on the image below to see the caps.
Don’t forget that The Andromeda Strain mini series airs this weekend on TV in the US. Louis plays Colonel Ferrus. Be sure to check your local listings and on TVGuide. Check here for international listings.
