Callum Rennie
Favourite Saying: I'm only smiling because the photographer has a birth defect, pick on the guy who comes from the broken home.
Activities: Consuming a fermented beverage which enlightens my inner being, rock climbing, pumping limestone.
Past Glories: Not getting caught stealing cookies since 1965, getting beat up by a tree.
Pet Peeves: The photographer's shirt that I borrowed, which has armpits that smell like a hamster cage, Bruce M., non-existent pockets, things that are yellow.
Ambition: Go down under to the fishin' hole and catch me a mess-o-catfish, lost arrow spire, the Harlin route on the Eiger with Labek, to do a dance routine with Ginger Rogers.
Likes: Mum's apple pie, soiled underpants, realized ultimate reality, pitons, Dougal Haston Laton Kor, John Harlin, John Travolta, violence directed toward minorities.


Post-teen-pubescent quotes :)

"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom."

"I work in Cananda because I choose to. This is not a consolation prize."

"When you're shiny, everyone wants to stand next to you."

"They'd rather have me in L.A. doing films. But I'm a good f@#king Canadian. Either that or I'm terrified. You don't have to write that. 'Callum's terrified.' Don't write that."

"You can make even bad sex good."

Talking about his ass- :) "It's just I've never seen it in that framework before. I don't want the terror of seeing my own ass on screen. What if I like it -- a LOT?"

"All I know is if I die tomorrow, I have lived for four years."

"I don't know the truth of my past, what it was that was driving me to destroy me."

"Perhaps there has to be a struggle, in order for it(life) to be sweet."

"Alcohol seemed to be the solution but I am not sure if I have fixed the problem. That is my greatest fear"

"My idea about Americans is that they're sexy and dangerous, shooting first and asking questions later."

Talking about being new to Due South: "I was running around like Paul, Paul. Do you like me? Do I suck yet? Am I fired?"

On his decision to join Due South: "We tossed the coins and the show lost."

"I hate being interviewed. I don't want to sound arrogant but I don't want to sound like a pushover and I don't know who I am but I think I am defined by my relationships but I don't have many friends."

"If I'd succeeded earlier I'd be dead...Now, all the fear is negotiable."

"I may move to New York and go to school - acting school. I suck."

"I'm called 'bad boy' or 'the new James Dean' by those who want to romanticize my past-who don't want to see it as a life of pain in which I was another person."

"I'm an addict-print that!"

"I have to go now and kiss a serving wench."

"Oh God, you'll think I'm a slut machine"

"When I was seventeen I drank a twenty-six-ounce bottle of vodka in a half hour and went into convulsions. I woke up in hospital. Alcohol became many things: an antidote to pain, a means of being more outspoken, a way to feel better than I did in my regular life. I 'm sure I laughed a lot, if only I could remember. I didn't see it as a problem until later on, until everything around me-relationships, trust- was destroyed. When did fun become fun with problems and then become just problems?"

Talking about acting: "It's not about success or competition. It's about exploration and overcoming internal fears."

"There is always this perception that you want to shoot for the top, but I think there's this great place to shoot for the middle and get consistent work and try different things and do the work you want to do with the kind of people you want to do it with."

Rennie says, half-jokingly, that his ambition is to "rake in great piles of money,"

From Shift Magazine
Of course, in the Sinatra tradition of feigned indifference, everyone involved in Twitch denies being part of a celebrity clique. ... Rennie takes out his ubiquitous cigarette and does a spit-laugh. (He prefers to think of himself and Hard Core Logo's Hugh Dillon as a wolf pack of two.)
