GALE HAROLD’S CHRISTMAS WISH
The actor best known as Brian Kinney from Queer as Folk has a role he has always wanted to play. “Sam, the Burl Ives role in Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer,” he told AFTERELTON.COM. “What Burl Ives brought to the studio when he was doing those voices… I mean, you think Brian Kinney had an impact? For anyone who grew up in the United States around the same time I was growing up, you’d know that voice, have seen the Christmas special with the stop motion animation. It’s an iconic role. That’s what I’m interested in.”
Although it appears, as long as he could be in the Christmas Special he’d be happy; “Or the ice ape, the ice monster. The Abominable Snow Monster. Or… what was his name, Timmy?”
He explained that Timmy was one of the toys on the Isle of Misfit Toys and AfterElton.com’s fact check team has concluded, perhaps wrongly, that Gale was referring to Charley-in-a-box.
