Trailer Park Boys count is 3

Halifax, as you may or may not be aware, was the home for the Canadian cult series "Trailer Park Boys". Think "My Name Is Earle" except funny, with guns, lots of dope, plenty of alcohol abuse, and shitloads of swearing. The main leads were Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles. Sadly it is no longer on the air, but it survived 7 seasons on Showcase.

Most of the cast are from the Maritimes and are still in the area. So, one runs into cast members all the time. I've seen 3 since I've been back. It's weird because it makes me feel as if I'm on the set, which of course was Halifax and its surroundings. It's also odd because when any of them used to do appearances or interviews they stayed in character. The lines between fiction and reality were in a constant state of blur for the cast.

First was Cyrus: criminal and bastard. He tried to take over the park, wrote his grade 10 exam with Ricky, and started a major shootout in the park after the boys stole all his hash. Plus he had a bitchin' corvette.

I saw him in the lobby of a hotel. I was scared at first but then realized he probably actually didn't have a gun.

So next we have Sam Losco: veterinarian and slob. He got Bubbles cats sick and was always enlisted to extract bullets whenever somebody got shot. Also he ran agains Jim Lahey for Trailer Park Supervisor.

I saw him in the restaurant Mosaic downtown. I think he's one of the owners. After the hotdog incident with Bubbles kitties I don't think I'll eat there.

Last was Tyrone: part of J-Roc's Rockpile, co-director of greasy porn videos, rapper, luggage thief, drugdealer. Pretty much sums T up. He's never far from J-Roc's side and corrects him when he starts sounding like white-rapper cliche...which is to say all the fuckin time.

I saw him coming out of a used CD store. No doubt selling CDs that he and J-Roc had stolen.
