Oct 17 Episode Thirty-One: Mike Dopud

Mike Dopud has built an impressive career playing nuanced villains and nasty dudes on all manner of television shows – characters like Vinson, the serial killer he played on The 100 who kept his victims' hands and feet as mementos; Viktor, the high-ranking Russian mobster he played on Arrow; Ward Avery, the chauvinistic DEA agent he played on CBC’s 1970s crime miniseries Caught; or vicious drug cartel leader Jason Micic on Power, an unrelenting crime drama set in present-day New York that counts Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as an executive producer. So how did this lovely human being – an athletic Montrealer who was drafted by the Saskatchewan Rough Riders and played Vic Hadfield in the hockey-centric period drama Canada-Russia ’72 – end up as the face of evil and villainy? Mike joins Sabrina Furminger in the podcast lab to talk about playing bad guys, transitioning from sports to working with 50 Cent, and his time in the Stargate ’verse.
