Canadian Film Day, Theatre Marketing, and 420
Nappoholics Anonymous is a weekly column featuring twelve random thoughts by actor Tony Nappo. Some are funny, some are poignant, some bother him, and some make him weep from sadness while others make him weep for joy. Here are his thoughts: unfiltered, uncensored, and only occasionally unsafe for work.
1. To celebrate National Canadian Film Day this year, I got a full-body Bruno Gerussi tattoo and ended up looking exactly the same.
2. Man, You Seem Like a Moron
3. Kudos to the Fun Home producers (Musical Stage Company/Mirvish) for actually putting the names of the actors on this ad. Maybe it’s crazy to think that actors might be a draw for audiences but I bet if this becomes a trend, and folks started recognizing their names, eventually it might be.
4. It warms my heart when my daughter takes a moment to send me a note on all of the important holidays.
5. I’m having as much trouble figuring out whether the Leafs are a good hockey team or a shit hockey team in this series as the weather is figuring out whether it’s spring or winter.
6.
7. Classic Workshop Moment
8. Top 5 Songs That Really Just Don’t Work as Well with Men’s Names in Them
5- “Randy” by Barry Manilow
4- “Lanny’s Song” by John Denver
3- “Larry” by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
2- “Seth” by Kiss
1- “And the Wind Cries Gary” by Jimi Hendrix
9. I did not know this. Anyone with the greenroom answer?
10. Guest Post of the Week
11. I’m so old that I remember when stupid people actually knew they were stupid and wanted people smarter than themselves to run things.
Those were crazy times.
12. Text from my sister. She is a dick but that’s how Nappos motivate each other. Also, since it came up, please do sign up for this mailing list thing. It’s one of the ways Intermission can stay alive, by showing people are reading, for grants or some shit like that. Anyway, it would be a good thing for us if you would do that. Thanks so much.

Tony is Italian, he’s from Scarborough, he’s an actor, he’s a father, he’s a really good house painter, and he doesn’t believe that most things matter, ultimately, at all.

Every single fucking time there is a mass shooting, we all give the speeches, and we all share the memes (to each other, who are all mostly already in agreement), but nothing changes.
Gottfried, Strays, and Easter Eggs
Dogs rarely have a hidden agenda when they meet people or other dogs: they're either wagging that shit or they aren’t.
Slapping People, ACTRA Meetings, and Dog Shit
At one point, I was sleeping with so many actresses that they used to just hold ACTRA meetings in my bedroom.
Birthdays, Cranes, and Judd Apatow
If the Freedom Convoy has answered one question for every Canadian, I think it's this: whatever happened to that dumb kid in my class?
Scorsese, Dentists, and Dying Alone
If waving a Fuck Trudeau flag is a legit way to get a meeting with him, I’m gonna start waving my Fuck Scorsese flag wherever I go and keep my fingers crossed.
Truckers, Porndle, and Bad Boys
In these newly woke times in the entertainment industry, it’s slightly amazing to me that nobody has protested the fact that Denzel Washington isn’t actually Scottish yet.
