In Search of Billy MacLellan

Ok, this is getting serious.  Billy MacLellan appears in The Silence for five minutes in a priest outfit, has two episodes as a minor character in Bomb Girls (which is on Amazon Prime but not Netflix), and that's it.  Where else can I find the most stunning face and physique of the last decade?

Nude, shirtless, or not, I don't care.










He's a Canadian actor, born on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 1974, and a big Cape Breton booster although he now lives in Toronto.  He has 61 film credits. Some of the more interesting are:

Caught (2018), about a drug dealer (Alan Hawko) who escapes from a Nova Scotia prison.  Billy played Kyle O'Neill, far down in the credits list, but apparently he and Hawko are friends.  Both from Nova Scotia.  Not on Netflix, Vudu, Youtube, or Amazon Prime.

Ice Blue (2017):  Single Dad Billy told his daughter that her mother abandoned them.  Actually she met a far more sinister fate, and one day she shows up at the isolated family farm.  Ditto.

Bellevue (2017): An 8-episode series set in a small town, where a detective searches for a missing teen and unravels a mystery. Billy play Brady Holt, #3 on the cast list.  Ditto.

Maudie (2016):  An arthritic Newfoundland woman works as a housekeeper and dreams of becoming an artist and finds love. Billy plays "Frank," #7 on the cast list.  Not interested.

Catch a Christmas Star (2013).  One of those "finding love at Christmastime" movies. Chris (Steve Byers) finds love.   Don't get excited -- this isn't a gay couple.  Billy plays his brother..

Unlikely Heroes (2013): Some oddball teens on a hike in the woods discover a magical amulet.  Billy plays the forest ranger villain. On Youtube.

Between the Mountain and the Shore (2010), a documentary about his family on Cape Breton,  On Youtube.

ReGenesis (2009): He played Earl Jordan in two episodes of the long-running sci-fi series, and received a Gemini Award.  On Amazon Prime.

I also learned that Billy goes to Gay Pride Toronto every year.

And this instagram photo is captioned "Happy Valentine's Day."

Don't get excited.  The other guy is Shawn Doyle, his costar in Bellevue.

Although Billy did bring him home to meet his Mum.

And they went to Gay Pride together.
