TAYLOR KITSCH IN TORONTO TO PROMOTE "THE BANG BANG CLUB" | AUTOGRAPH GIVEAWAY

Taylor Kitsch & Mr. Will-W.

Kelowna native Taylor Kitsch packed a crowd outside the CBC Building today where he dropped by to record an appearance on George Stroumboulopoulous Tonight, airing later this evening. The former Abercrombie & Fitch Model has found success as an Actor, appearing on the acclaimed yet short-lived ABC series Friday Night Lights.  He continues to see his star rise with his latest Film The Bang Bang Club, which premiered at TIFF 2010 to wide acclaim. 

Acquired via eOne Films, the Drama is based on the true story of four photographers who ventured to South Africa during a time of great political change, following the period when Nelson Mandela had been released from prison up to 1994, when the first-ever Democratic Elections were held.  That Election marked the first time all races were allowed to participate in voting.  Ryan Philippe and Malin Åkerman also star in The Bang Bang Club.  Check out some Photos I got of Philippe in-town this past September promoting the Film.

With at least 20-plus people in waiting for Autographs and Photos with Kitsch, both he and his Assistant were more than accommodating, handling beautifully what could easily have become a bit of a mess, with one Fan barging into the Premises.  Sporting a new stylishly-cropped Haircut, Kitsch surprised all who were expecting him to appear in his signature shoulder-length locks. All were surprised by  the extent of his graciousness and generosity.

Big things are ahead for Kitsch with him appearing in two promising titles in 2012 including Battleship, which teams him again with Peter Berg, Producer of Friday Night Lights; Singer Rihanna also stars in the Film inspired by the popular Board Game.  Even more eagerly-anticipated is Disney's John Carter of Mars (due March 9, 2011) in which Kitsch stars in the Lead Role, alongside a stellar Cast of Willem Dafoe, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Bryan Cranston and Samantha Morton.

The Bang Bang Club will open May 6, 2011 via eOne Films.  Watch its Trailer in full here.
