My Take

Patrick McKenna is the kind of performer I admire precisely because he never needed Hollywood to validate him. Playing Harold Green on The Red Green Show, all awkward sincerity and physical comedy, requires a genuine warmth that you cannot fake for long. Comedians who can also write, as he can, control the architecture of their own laughs, which is the harder and more durable path. There is real difficulty in becoming a fixture in a nation's living rooms rather than a flash on a marquee. To me he embodies that grounded, generous brand of comedy, and I respect it enormously.

Overview

Patrick McKenna (born May 8, 1960) is a Canadian comedian and actor. He is best known for playing Harold Green on the television series The Red Green Show and Marty Stevens on the television series Traders.
