THIS LIFE

This Life is off to a good start with the first three episodes of Season 2 containing some great scenes with Louis’ character David Crowley. Louis will be in 8 episodes of this season! Sadly, the show is currently only available in Canada; we’ll try to keep the rest of the planet updated the best we can so stay tuned for more screen caps, articles and photos in upcoming issues of Ferreira Fest!

Here’s a recent tweet:

Here’s a great article about Season 2 as the showrunner discusses new developments.

Louis gets a brief mention in this article at The Suburban.

A spoiler-free preview of Season 2 can be found here.

Episode 202 Perfect Day got a lot of coverage, and this article also mentions Louis.

Here’s a great discussion of Perfect Day of the two family outsiders wanting to get back in – and a lovely photo to boot!

An interview with James Wotherspoon who plays Caleb in the show contains several mentions of Louis  and some great insights into both characters.

The This Life character bio page has been re-done and now contains a section on Louis’ character David Crowley, plus this gem of a still:

From David Crowley’s Bio Page:

Natalie’s ex-husband David Crowley, 49, is a self-assured academic, and driven to earn a place back at the Lawson table after his estrangement, having divorced Natalie (and quickly re-married) ten years ago. David returns to Montreal in the face of Natalie’s illness, knowing that the futures of the children he barely knows hang in the balance, seeking redemption for his past mistakes.

AFTERMATH

Louis has a recurring role in the new SyFy series Aftermath. He plays the mysterious radio personality Bob ‘Moondog’ Black who speaks in rhymes and riddles and whose voice comes from the radio like some cryptic oracle.

In the series the Copeland family battle for survival when civilization comes to an apocalyptic end, triggered by massive storms, meteor strikes, earthquakes, a plague – and the rise of supernatural creatures. Watch past episodes online on SyFy or SPACE.

Here’s a little spoiler-free insight into Louis’ character Bob ‘Moondog’ Black:

FF – Are you in every episode?

LF – My voice is throughout the first eleven episodes. Not in all of them, but I think like eight of their eleven. And then you meet him at the end of twelve, and episode thirteen is where you actually hang with The Moondog.

FF – Oh, okay. So, do you actually make a physical appearance? Or is it voice acting throughout?

LF – No, you meet the physical man at the end of twelve, and then thirteen I’m very much a part, I am very instrumental in that last episode, their cliffhanger.

Which is really neat how we pitched it because the arc of it is pretty cool, you just hear this kind of dated DJ in the back, and he’s the last voice on the radio. Then you slowly start realizing his role in the whole thing. And it’s interesting, what they wrote. I quite enjoyed myself. It was fun.

• AFTERMATH 102 – In Rats Alley

Voice of Bob ‘Moondog’ Black at 22:30

Bob ‘Moondog’ Black – You know you guess, this is not going to be the smoking-est time since my […] built the wireless five whole years ago. The lights are out, they won’t come back, and nothing but trouble is down the track. So like that always ready Freddie, Louis Jordan keep on telling us, beware brother, beware.

Vince Chang – Gotta love Bob Black, he’s the only thing on the radio right now. And people say he has news.

Joshua Copeland – How can he have news? He hasn’t done a broadcast since 1950.

Dana Copeland – Isn’t this where we’re meeting Mom?

• AFTERMATH 103 – In Our Empty Rooms

Voice of Bob ‘Moondog’ Black at 38:20

Bob ‘Moondog’ Black – So do not fret or regret, mes amis, just pop the clutch and lay a patch, let it all slide down the hatch. We got more days in the rearview than ahead. So how about we tromp it right now, with some men and […].

Note: The character sound clips are from the radio broadcasts in the episodes. Thanks to Casey for the transcripts!

Real Detective is a documentary series about actual real life detectives and their most compelling cases. Louis guest stars in a Season 2 episode. Here’s a little snippet of info about his role:

LF – This is basically a documentary-type of reenactment series where it’s a real officer telling his story, and then they reenact it. The episode I play, I play the officer of the court.

FF – Yeah, it’s more like that show COPS – remember that show COPS that you were on? You played the bad guy.

LF – Way back then, yeah, now I’m the good guy.

FF – Yeah, but it’s more like that, or a Forensic Files, or something like that, that’s what I was able to find out.

LF – Exactly, it’s that kind of thing. It was interesting, different. And they were nice people, and a very obviously low budget production, but I actually quite enjoyed myself and had some fun. Nice people.

Life on the Line is a movie about electrical line workers starring John Travolta. Louis has a cameo part as Mr. Fontaine. He gets to play a rich guy from Texas. The movie will be released in theatres on November 18th – check your local movie listings to see if it will play in your area! Meanwhile, here’s a new trailer.
