Happy Birthday to Douglas Rain!

Today would have been the 97th birthday of Canadian actor Douglas Rain, born 9 May 1928.

As a treat, here are just a few of the roles/pictures that I've tracked down in the past year!

Hadrian VII (1968) Festival, S1E5 "Julius Caesar" (1960) Softly, Softly: Task Force, S1E10 "Open and Shut" (1970) Henry V (1966)

Celebrate the Ides of March this year with the absolutely delightful 1960 production of "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare, performed as part of the CBC Television show "Festival"! 🔪🔪🔪

Starring Fritz Weaver as Brutus and Douglas Rain as Cassius. And a bunch of other people, including William Shatner (who sounds like he's in a different play from everybody else lol).
