By trading the storied streets of Glasgow for the stages of Alberta, actor and poet @_moon_eh has redefined what it means to find home. Through a lens of self-deprecating humour and a chaotic yet fluid creative process, he explores the vulnerability of public storytelling and the thrill of professional discovery in his new interview with @thescenecalgary !

Five years ago I set out to travel to Canada and work as an Actor in Banff.
I post this with a proud big grin. I did it.
Thank you to all who have helped me on this adventure. To Anna, Craig and the Trouts. To the Cast, Crew and Designers. The staff of the Banff Centre and ATP. To friends who came and those who couldn't. To my family.
Oh Canada. Thank you x
Let’s see what happens next in this beautiful country.

The Summer of Love comes to its conclusion.
Thank you. All of you, from the Bottom of my heart.
Canada has instantly become a place I feel at home, and no longer to be spent on strangers floors.
These people have picked my sorry ass up and given me life. All of them are in there.
Adventure is out there and I have found a point to stop and wonder how the feck I ended up here.
I am following a dream, and have been helped along by so many. Thank you.
