Scott can be heard singing lead vocals in the song, "Me on My Off Hours" on Paul Bellini's fantastic new album, Put Paul First. He co-wrote the lyrics, as well as "Tactile," with Paul. Wanna hear 'em? Go to paulbellini.com. If you're planning to buy, hop to it-- the disc is in "limited quantities."

There will be a Star! Close-Up: Mark McKinney on Star TV this Wednesday at 8:30 PM.

February 20th
Star Close-Up: Mark McKinney
Former Kid In The Hall Mark McKinney dropped by STAR! recently to talk to Larysa Harapyn about his role in the stage play Fully Committed in which he played 40 characters; his film roles in Dog Park, Superstar, Spice World and New Waterford Girl; the history and future of The Kids In The Hall; and how his "diplomatic brat" upbringing led him to a life in show business. Includes archival footage, film & TV clips, interviews with fellow KITH Bruce McCulloch & Scott Thompson.



The review from Globe Television:

Reporter Larysa Harapyn's interview with former Kids in the Hall star Mark McKinney isn't exactly on par with those done by James Lipton of Inside the Actors Studio. Her questions probe no deeper than McKinney's Internet Movie Database bio (and with a coffee in hand, it looks like he needed the caffeine to stay awake), but if you're a fan, or just enjoyed his one-man show Fully Committed, it's fin to watch McKinney go on. The best bits in this half hour are old clips of McKinney accosting strangers in the street.

Mark is mentioned briefly in this week's Time Out New York for his role as script consultant in Scooby-Doo: Stagefright!, which comes to New York next week.

(The blurb states that it should be better than normal kid's fare because Kids in the Hall's Mark McKinney was script consultant. Aw yeah.)

News of the immediate variety:

Uncle Sadaam, a satirical look at Sadaam Hussein's dictatorship, features the narration of Scott Thompson. The film was directed by Scott's ex-boyfriend, Joel Soler. It's an interesting film, and believe me, it manages to be incisively funny and critical of Hussein's regime and the world community-at-large, while treating the all-too-real problems of the Iraqi people with sensitivity. Don't miss this film. CBC Newsworld's documentary show, The Passionate Eye will be airing it this week. Here are the airdates and times from TV Guide Canada:

Mon 11/02/2002 10:00PM
Tue 12/02/2002 1:00AM

I'm told (by our sarah) that this is NOT the same as Newsworld International, a channel available on some U.S. digital cable subscriptions. Sorry, folks.

News of the not-so-immediate variety:

Toothpaste, a hilarious 'domestic opera' featuring Mark McKinney and Barbara Hannigan recently aired on Bravo Canada. However, if you missed it, and you live in the Toronto area, you have a chance to see it again! On the big screen, no less! The Bloor Cinema is playing all of Bravo's SHORT CUTS short films throughout the month of February before selected features. Toothpaste will be shown before screenings of Ocean's Eleven on the following dates:

Feb. 23 @ 9:00 pm
Feb. 24 @ 4:30, 9:00 pm

What's that, you say? You don't live in the Toronto area? Well, you can still see this film -- including extras and Dan Redican's commentary! -- thanks to the fine folks at Electric Leisureland. Enjoy!
