Roger was born and raised in Jamaica. With his family, he moved to Vancouver at the age of 11. He enjoyed drama in school, but never considered it a viable career. His heart was set on flying, and he studied Aviation at Trinity Western University. While waiting for a flying job, Cross began working as an extra and doing stunts. He went on to study acting at Breck Academy and landed a few roles before landing the one that ultimately changed the course of his life. After surviving an extremely challenging yet fulfilling experience filming “The International Rescue” on location in China, Vietnam and Burma, Cross decided to give acting his full focus for a year. His acting career has since taken off, and he now enjoys flying in his spare time.

"The Braggart"

November  30, 1974

 

Alan has self-esteem issues and compensates by making up wild stories about himself to impress his friends.  But when he has to prove what he is saying, will he endanger not only himself but his friends as well?

This episode bares some similarities with the previous episode, "The Delinquent" in that we are dealing with young men with self-esteem issues.  The difference he is that Alan is actually quite friendly, but his friendship comes at a cost as he weaves his wild stories.  Does it hold today?  Why didn't Jackson Bostwick wrestle a lion?  And did Richard really beat up The Scorpion?

 It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode.  Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com.

 

Moral: “Honesty is the best policy."

The fall brings with it a number of new movies and with a more inconsistent audience, the number one film at the top can change with each week.  And that's the case as the second Maze Runner movie was beat by the second Hotel Transylvania movie.  But can it hold on with only one new movie opening this weekend?  Michael Falkner has this and more on a new Weekly Podioplex.

 This week we present the final step in the saga of “The Walking Man” contest when winner Florence Hubbard appears on The Jack Benny Program.  Those who have been listening closely for the past few weeks will have their attention rewarded as several old themes and topics are referenced. Then Academy Award-winning actor Ronald Colman and his wife Benita Hume star in their comedy-drama series set at a small Midwestern college, The Halls of Ivy.  Colman plays the college’s president, sagely dispensing advice to the undergraduates.  Lessons will be learned and heartstrings will be tugged.
