Actor Nicholas Campbell: One Hot Mess

Regular readers will know that your blog mistress is a big fan of the show Da Vinci's Inquest and considers it appointment viewing at 1:30 AM on Sundays. There would of course be no program (which predates all of the current crop of American crime procedurals, save for the original Law & Order) without Da Vinci himself, played by Campbell. Since the show was cancelled by the CBC in 2006, Campbell has hit a rough patch, with irregular acting gigs and getting into major debt from gambling on the ponies.
