Episode 134: Jim Gilbert Is an Actor Based in Toronto, With a Thriving Career in Both Canadian and International TV and Film—All Rooted in His Small-Town Beginnings in Nova Scotia!

Jim Gilbert's acting credits include CBC's Moonshine, The Handmaid's Tale, Suits, The Girlfriend Experience, Salvation, and The Tudors, among others. As a writer, his original work has been optioned and developed by production companies in both the U.S. and Canada. His role in Moonshine is especially personal, as the show's setting and storylines mirror his own experiences growing up on Nova Scotia's South Shore.

In this episode, we chat with Jim, a natural storyteller, about Nova Scotia’s rich history, his family's connection to Kristen's art gallery "Togetherland"—they live right next door and have lent a hand on many occasions—and how his lifelong career in the arts parallels Mike's journey in music. Kindred spirits truly shine through in this conversation. We also celebrate Jim's recent marriage, his career successes, and his contagious adventurous spirit!
