Found my PSA That I Did in 2001

This commercial won awards in L.A. I'm so proud of it. What do you all think? That's me on the grey horse, Mark!

Warning: May be a bit risque for some...LOL

Mathew! I loved it, it should be played world wide! Daggone you're hot!

Seriously, that was a beautiful, well done, to the point infomercial! Excellent.

Awwwww. Thanks Deb! We had so much fun shooting that campaign. I believe it was aired in the States too. I met a lot of people from the U.S. that recognised me from it. Also, it was wierd seeing myself all over on the TTC (Toronto's subway system). I'd be riding to work on the streetcar and be staring at my face LOL. It made me appreciate that I really like my anonymity and that I wouldn't want to be famous just for being famous. This is the one project that I did in my "acting/modelling" days that I'm really proud of. So, again, thanks Debs

Thanks! I'm not HIV+, but I have friends that are. Thankfully, none have passed. I have one friend that has been positive for almost 20 years. Can you believe that! Meds are really controlling this beast. And...there's talk of a "cure" soon. Looong story. But it's derived from another drug and it basically renders the virus inactive

I try not to get my hopes up, as there are always "snake oil" cures (my mom has MS and we see the same stuff). But...can you imagine?

Wow Matt you are Hot !!!

On a more serious note finding a cure for HIV would be wonderful for everyone right up there with finding a cure for Cancer.. It would benefit us all !

I did a ton of commercials. I have some on tape, but they're not online. Lots of commercials (LOTS of beer commercials), some openings for TV shows (entertainment news etc.), an independent film or two. I enjoyed it for a while. But it wasn't my passion, and I saw lots of stuff that turned me off of the business. But I'm glad I had the experience.
