Commemorative Speech For Engaging Father
A few months ago, thanks to the vivacious Tammy Gillis, the accomplished actor Jim Thorburn was brought to my attention (they are married, in case you were unaware). While his name was somewhat unknown to me, his talent and works included some of my classic and current favorites. As I have been faithfully following his career all this time now, I was ecstatic to promote his upcoming film, Engaging Father Christmas, and he was kind enough to chat with me briefly about his role in this upcoming film as well as a few other notweworthy details.
RH: So nice to get to chat with you again.
JT: Same here, Ruth.
Actually, this is the first time we get to actually speak with each other because last time, schedules were so crazy we did it by email. …show more content…
We've come close, but I'll be sure to let you know if something like that happens.
I know the Hallmark fans would be all for it. And maybe you'll even get the chance to come on When Calls the Heart.
I've auditioned for that show a few times, even recently. So far, it hasn't happened, but I would love to do that show.
Well, fingers crossed then. But we will definitely enjoy seeing you in Engaging Father Christmas this weekend, and I can't thank you enough for taking some time to chat with me again, Jim. This was really nice.
Ruth, I thank you and all the fans for their support. We really hope you love the movie!
Chatting on the phone with Jim was quite pleasant as I discovered he was exactly how I had pictured and characterized him in our first interview. He is kind, courteous, and exceedingly introspective and observant, which gives him a perspective that is all his own. Accordingly, the paramount trait that he exudes is that of genuine gratitude. Jim does not take any of his experiences or roles flippantly nor for granted. On the contrary, Jim is careful to vocalize and demonstrate his appreciation whenever possible. Humility is something he practices and preaches as opposed to merely giving lip service to such an integral quality. Even though he is experiencing a bit of a lull in his career at the moment, he accepts this as part of his chosen profession with a quiet sort of grace and forbearance that comes from one who is convinced he is being faithful to his authentic self as well as his "calling" in this
