Three years ago TVO Parents posted a short documentary about GNC. TVOParents.com is an online resource for parents of children ages 2-11. They offer expert advice and the latest research on early-years education issues designed to help parents help their child succeed in school. Watch the documentary here.
Caterina Scorsone, whose father Dr. Bruce Scorsone is the executive director of GNC, is a great supporter of this organization. Caterina also launched a t-shirt fundraising campaign for GNC. Read more about it here, and watch the short video clip in which she talks about GNC. Caterina was Louis’ colleague for two years during the filming of 1-800-Missing.
A fan of Caterina Scorsone put together this YouTube montage to solicit donations in support of their work. It’s a lovely tribute to GNC’s vital contribution to making this world a better place.
Toronto will be hosting the 2015 Pan Am Games, and the Athlete’s Village and many of their venues are only a stone’s throw from GNC. If you’re in town be sure to stop by and say hi!

MOTIVE
Louis won his second consecutive Leo Award for his portrayal of Oscar Vega! Congratulations, Louis! It’s good to know that the industry appreciates your talent as much as we do.
MOTIVE won the award for Best Dramatic Series, another well-deserved honor! Congrats to everyone involved, especially producers Dennis Heaton, Rob Merilees, Louise Clark, Erin Haskett, Rob LaBelle, Lindsay MacAdam, John Lenic, Ben Brafman and James Thorpe!
Lisa Binkley of Motive won the Leo Award for Best Editing , an award that’s WAY overdue as the editing on MOTIVE is of consistently spectacular quality!
And last but not least, Katherine Collins won the award for Best Screenwriting for a Dramatic Series for MOTIVE’s Season 2 episode “Pitfall“.
The Vancouver Sun has a nice article celebrating the 2015 Leo Award winners, and Louis gets a mention!
Congratulations, everyone!
So yes, ABC, eat your heart out: cancelling MOTIVE was a BIG mistake. Our loss in the US, though: there is currently no plan for MOTIVE’s season 3 to air in the US. We will simply have to wait for another country to come out with DVD versions.
Here are two articles about ABC cancelling MOTIVE in the US, one by EW and one by TVSeriesFinale.
Meanwhile, the 4th Season of MOTIVE has been announced by CTV. Read the Official Press Release. The good news was also celebrated by The Toronto Star and Crave TV.
MOTIVE’s Season 3 finale – a major cliffhanger for Oscar Vega – aired on June 7th on CTV. The Toronto Star posted an announcement. Watch the trailer here: https://twitter.com/MotiveTV/status/606229937444372480
Mathias Herndl, MOTIVE’s Director of Photography did a great interview with Markee Magazine about his work on the show.
Here is a short excerpt:
“Louis Ferreira is a brilliant actor,” Herndl continues. “He plays Vega by projecting a sense of mystery and creating the sense that he doesn’t talk unless he has something worth saying. I light him generally the way I light the show — by trying to keep the lighting from getting in the camera’s way.”
Read the full interview here.
Scroll down for some nice BTS shots of MOTIVE.
AN INTERVIEW WITH PATRICK GILMORE
This month we are thrilled to bring you an interview with one of Louis’ best friends and Stargate Universe colleague – Patrick Gilmore!
Read and listen to the full interview and an introduction by Louis on Patrick Gilmore’s Page!
SCREENCAPS
To celebrate our interview with Patrick Gilmore this month we also have 695 screencaps of the MOTIVE episode “Ruthless” (Season 1, Episode 12) which features Patrick as Ian Brauer, the killer’s husband. Unfortunately Louis and Patrick are never in the same scene except at the very end of the episode where Oscar Vega can be spotted walking towards Ian Brauer whose wife has just been taken into custody. One can assume that Vega and Brauer were about to have a conversation.
There are literally thousands of caps of Louis and Patrick on screen together in 39 Stargate Universe episodes. You can browse through them here: Season 1 and Season 2.
Here is a direct link to the album for the MOTIVE episode: https://ferreirafestscreencaps.shutterfly.com/pictures/12466
