Trailer Park Boys: What really happened to Corey and Trevor…
Like many people, I was sad to see Corey and Trevor missing from the seventh season of the Trailer Park Boys. They were my favorite characters on the show! Finally, thanks to Andrew for sending me the link, I have found out why they are missing and what caused them to leave! Trevor, played by Michael Jackson, has written to explain the changes to the show since the first season and what lead to their departure. See the original message here!
edit: it has been brought to my attention that some of what i originally wrote was insulting to my fellow cast mates and that was never my intention when i wrote this bog. i agree with this and i have decided to edit my blog and take out the offensive material. i’m sorry to those people that i offended. i love you guys. i’m leaving in the part about the sandwiches because i think it’s funny.
most people know that i don’t really like to talk about TPB and i really don’t. in my mind it’s in the past and it isn’t worth talking about. recently, i’ve had a lot of TPB fans message me and ask what happened and why i’m not on the show anymore and that it isn’t the same without cory and trevor. this is flattering but it wasn’t my intention when i decided to leave the show. i can’t answer all the questions that i get and TPB isn’t something i like to talk about but i will give a summary of what happened and why i left the show. this is going to be the truth and probably not what a lot of people want to hear and i don’t mean to sling shit at certain people but sometimes it has to be done. if you enjoy the show i hope you continue to enjoy it.
Season 1
the first season of TPB was really fun and i felt we were doing something really creative and it felt like a group effort. a lot of the scenes were improv’d and i don’t remember even seeing a script during the first season. during this time we were getting paid scale which is the lowest the producer’s were allowed to pay us and still have it be a union show (ACTRA). this was fair as we really didn’t have any acting experience and i don’t think anybody thought the show would be successful. season 1 bombed and the ratings were low and i don’t think anybody really understood what we were trying to do with the show. i remember a superfan from ottawa organized a party at a bar here in halifax and the only people that showed up to it was the entire cast of the show and this one superfan and his girlfriend. it was humiliating but really funny at the same time. luckily for us Showcase didn’t have a lot of shows and they played the episodes over and over and over. eventually people took notice and the fans spread the show by word of mouth. this didn’t have anything to do with marketing or business plans or focus groups. we all owe everything we have from this first group of TPB fans. i think we were all amazed when we were informed that we would be shooting a second season. it was weird because a lot of the production staff and an awesome lady named judy seemed to get let go before season 2. i’m not really sure why this happened but it seemed kind of shitty. i bet mike volpe and barrie dunn would know something about this.
Season 2
clattenburg wanted me to have a mullet for season 2 and i’m not sure why i let him talk me into this but i did. i also somehow signed on to be a grip for this season. the show had a new woman named karen wentzell who might have worked with barrie dunn at CBC. i had to go in and meet her and do my deal memo for the grip gig and she made me an insanely low offer and pretended not to know what kit rental was. for those that don’t know kit rental is what you get paid to rent your own equipment to a production. normally a show would have a gaffer and a key grip and anywhere from 3 to 5 grips and 3 to 5 electricians. i understood that TPB was low budget and didn’t need a huge crew but they didn’t have any electrics and i was the only grip. i don’t know a lot about electricity and they had me running extension cords all over the trailer park and eventually the breaker would blow and it would somehow be my job to figure it out. the camera dept. had 1 guy who held the camera when it wasn’t being used, a guy who operated the camera and a guy who held the slate. the lighting department had me running around like a nut. eventually they let me bring in raddie dave to help me but this was no way to work. eventually i told barrie dunn that it isn’t my fault they don’t know the difference between a grip and an electric and that what they were doing was dangerous and i took my tools and went home. i had worked on a lot of movies and this thing was a fucking joke. working as an actor on season 2 was ok and we were still getting paid scale and i think that is fair as the show still wasn’t very popular. bubbles played a much larger role in season 2 but he was still a great character. i’m so proud of the first 2 seasons of the show. i really think we were doing something special and for the most part it was a lot of fun. i wish the show would have ended here. what a legacy we would have had. oh well.
Season 3
i’ll be honest, i didn’t want to do season 3. the show had grown a lot in popularity from season 2 to season 3 and mike volpe and barrie dunn refused to pay more than scale. barrie dunn told me that i have to think long term and to think about when they sell the show to the US or make a movie. karen wentzell was back and she made a lot of really bad decisions. she had rev bob basically working 24 hours a day trying to dress/build the sets and refused to let him have enough people to help him do it properly. he worked his ass off and did an incredible job. he had to deal with a schedule that constantly changed and really bad communication. he didn’t come back for season 4 and in my mind the man should be sainted. season 3 was actually pretty fun to shoot.
Season 4
when i read the season 4 scripts i couldn’t even believe what had happened to the show…talking puppets, mountain lions and bubbles dressed as a wrestler. i was disappointed with this direction change as well as the fact that the show seemed to focus more on bubbles and less on julian or ricky/julian as it had in the past. i didn’t want to do season 4 and during negotiations this time around we got what i think was a 25% raise but we were still getting paid per day and not per episode. finally we were making a bit more than scale but this raise came with a price and that was a 3 year contract or what i think might be called an option in the entertainment industry. with this option the producers only had to pay 15% more each year. i tried to negotiate a better contract and barrie dunn told me that everyone was getting paid the same and if he paid me more he would have to pay everyone else more. for some reason i believed him and the idea of us all making the same somehow seemed fair. later on i found out that almost every actor on the show was making a different amount of money…some a lot more than me and some even less than me. andy miller came on as the art director and he did an amazing job but faced all the same problems that rev bob faced. i think at this time the show finally gave in and signed one page agreements with both the technical union IATSE and the DGC. this is important because with a union contract the producers contribute to the retirement and medical coverage for the crew. i could be wrong and maybe this happened later on. it’s funny because karen wentzell wasn’t in the DGC so her job of production manager was changed to production supervisor. it’s pretty sad when the person in charge of organizing the show isn’t actually in the union. shooting season 4 was painful.
Season 5
we got our 15% raise and were still getting paid by the day. at this point we were making about scale and half. i have friends who work on commercials and they would get twice scale for a tim horton’s commercial. here we were on what was probably the most successful canadian tv show making just a bit more than scale. we put 4 years into the show, we created our own characters and this was our reward. karen wentzell was still doing her organizing and the crew was working harder than ever. i couldn’t believe how poorly the crew was treated and the crew turnover was ridiculous. it’s normal to not always use the same crew but TPB was lying and pretending this thing was a huge family and everyone was friends. the people who worked for low rates and didn’t complain stayed on and anyone who complained about the sickening bathrooms, the lack of organization or mouldy trailers were blacklisted. obviously i didn’t want to do season 5 but i always really liked clattenburg and he always was able to talk me into it. clattenburg is a great guy and i’ll always think that, i think. i think we won a gemini award the fall after we shot the xmas thing and nobody even told me that we won or offered to pay for the award. my mom paid for my award because she is proud of me. each award is about $400 so i guess it would have cost the show about $5000 to pay for the awards. i worked as a production assistant on this hour has 22 minutes in 1998 and they always paid for any awards the show won. shame on you volpe and dunn. i can’t even begin to guess at how much mike volpe and barrie dunn were making at this point from dvd sales, merchandise and from the show. millions of dollars easily. anyway, let’s continue on.
the xmas thing
the xmas thing was more of the same from a writing standpoint and was disorganized and rushed. i remember we were shooting in downtown dartmouth in a parking garage and i was hungry and the craft service girl came around with some sandwiches and i tried to take 2 and she told me i couldn’t. then i watched the boys all grab 3 or 4 each. it was as though a memo had been sent around and to treat the rest of us like shit or something. i don’t think there was such a memo but fuck it was gross.
the big dirty
in the late spring mike volpe phoned me and he was really excited that they were going to be making a movie. i was like cool…whatever…i don’t really care and then he was like…we didn’t get as much money as we wanted so everyone is going to have to work for scale. this was the payoff…this was the movie…this was the US and because it was no longer the TV contract they dropped us back down to the minimum they had to pay us. i was so upset that i sold my season 4 scripts on ebay as one of my performance art pieces. this was really low. the other thing they tried to do was to get us all to sign 3 movie contracts with the rate of pay already being determined in advance. so say the big dirty made a billion dollars well we’d be acting in the big dirty 2 for twice scale. that was craziness and i refused to sign my contract. volpe said i was the only one with a problem but i learned later on that almost everyone had a problem with this. i was given the big dirty script and because of my ebay stunt our names were now on the scripts and we had to sign some sort of non-disclosure agreement. again, i was disappointed with the script and i didn’t finish reading it. conditions on the movie were bad. karen wentzell was in way over her head and instead of hiring a security guard to watch the unit over night on the street where it was parked, she hired extra drivers to bring everything back to the park and lock it up over night. this was so expensive and was really hard on the transport guys who were working an extra 3 or 4 hours a day now. there was a lot of other communication and organizational problems and i hate to blame one person but if you are the production supervisor on a film then this is your job. several times the schedule was fucked up and they would send a transport guy to my house to wake me up and say they needed me on set in 30 mins. in my mind this isn’t very respectful and i always went in but i knew it wasn’t right. i didn’t want to make the movie but because i love clattenburg so much i did it. i knew the deal they offered my was unfair and i still did it. i really tried to do a good job in the movie…for clattenburg. i knew that whoever was involved in this movie from Hollywood was ruining it but i tried to do my best. halfway through the movie i decided that i had had enough….all the bullshit, all the inequality had taken it’s toll and mostly i wasn’t having fun. it wasn’t the same show anymore, the people weren’t the same. when i looked around i just saw a bunch of people that were fat and tired. i told volpe in an email that season 6 would be the end for me. i told him that i would finish the movie and do as little or as much as they wanted from me for season 6 because i didn’t want to fuck clattenburg. volpe just kind of ignored me and didn’t seem to take it seriously. i’ve never watched the big dirty. actually, i haven’t watch any episodes since season 3. i remember telling clattenburg that the only thing that could make me feel worse about my life would be to play bass for nickelback. TPB had become a sitcom and was the same jokes over and over.
Season 6
around the same time i decided to leave the show i took on a job recording a band and i emailed karen wentzell and told her that i wouldn’t be available for 2 days during the shooting of season 6. i also asked for the list of dates that i would be working and for my contract and she replied saying she would give me the dates and my contract the next week. well of course i didn’t get them and of course the day before the day i was to record the band the 2nd AD called to tell me i was working the next day and i was like…i can’t…i’m booked and i told karen this about 2 months ago. volpe called and we talked and i told him about karen and the email and he took her side and told me that i had given up on the show and was trying to do a bad job on purpose. this was easily the most hurtful thing the show ever did to me. i’m not a good actor but i always tried to do the best job i could. even when the writing wasn’t great i tried to create something special and to have a greedy lawyer without a creative bone in his fucking body tell me this really hurt. i will never forget this. hey volpe…eat a dick. the scripts and production was rushed for season 6 and everyone was exhausted from the movie. it was weird because i told them i wasn’t coming back and i kind of thought they would shoot a scene of us leaving or give us a good ending and they never dealt with it. when season 6 wrapped up i knew it was over and i knew that they would just say cory and trevor moved or died or whatever and i knew that it would suck and that the fans of the show deserved more. i met with barrie dunn before season 7 and we had a nice talk and i really like barrie dunn the guy, barrie dunn the actor but barrie dunn the lawyer/tv producer isn’t someone i can trust. after this meeting i knew it was over and nobody ever thanked me or said i did a good job. it just ended. they said they wouldn’t do it without me but i knew they would and they should and i’m glad they did. i had one year left on my contract and i’m thankful that mike volpe and barrie dunn didn’t threaten me or sue me. as much as they fucked me they let me off easy on that one…thanks guys.
i spent 6 years working on TPB and the only person who was ever promoted during all of this was karen wentzell. i can’t remember at what point but sometime around season 6 she became an associate producer. all of the crew who worked their asses off because of her incompetence never got a producer credit and what i’d imagine would be a significant raise and maybe even a share of the back end. what an insult, what an outrage. i also remember ann marie was hired to make a behind the scenes documentary and it somehow was changed to be about the crew and this family bullshit that really was never there. never once did this special mention rev bob and how poorly he was treated or andy miller and how poorly he was treated or todd murchie and how much he gave to the show to later not be brought back. what about richard colpe? it seems as though this family they talk about doesn’t include a lot of people that worked their asses off.
i was disrespected as an actor and as a person and i know that me standing up and saying fuck you i’ve had enough hasn’t changed anything. i was ripped off financially and that kind of sucks but mostly i just wasn’t having fun anymore. the show isn’t the same show that it was in the beginning and life is too short to not have fun. i’m not a greedy person and i never tried to hold out for more money but we all should have been paid a lot more than what they were paying us. this includes the crew and the cast.
thanks for everyone who watched me for 6 years and to everyone who has shown support in my decision. sorry about the long rant, you haven’t seen the last of me.
ps dudes
=mj=
yo man you were the best thing about trailer park boys, you guys were the glue that held the show together the 7th seasons was pretty shitty without u guys
I agree with that guy you guys were so awsome
And they tried to kinda replace you with some kid named jacob and his “Boys” Peace you were teh bomb
the show is done now, you arre right the show has gone a completley different turn and I didnt really laugh as much a i did in the other seasons, the two other fuckers who have took your place are faggots that just ruined the show right there,..I just wish trailer park boys had the same feel and laughter like they did in season 1,2, and 3 its a shame you guyz are gone but i understand why you had every right to leave that show
I also, am a grip working out of 873 in T.O. I read with interest the comments that Mike made and can not believe that he lasted as long as he did. I can so relate to what he is talking about. Nevertheless, I think he did an amazing job and was perfect for the role. The producers know that they were holding gold and were happier to just steal it. Way to go Mike and I wish you all the best brother
All good things must come to an end. So sad that Corey & Trevor are not on the show. They made the show! And of course it is not the same. Good luck to you & Corey. No one deserves to be treated that way. In fact, way to go! I’ll survive! The TPB has gone downhill ever since Season 5 though that was better than Season 6 and Season 6 was better than Season 7. You brought joy and laughter to many and though there were proverbial tears behind the scenes, thanks for the memories!
No doubt that you had every right to leave the show, no doubt that the producers are ass holes. No doubt that karen bitch deserves whatever she gets. Your complaining about sandwiches? Your complaining about how the actors that were more important on the show than cory and trevor got treated better? Alright lets see, you were talking about how Tim Horton’s commercial people made more money than you did. I hate to say this, but suck it up. Do you realize that Tim Horton’s is probably worth billions while trailer park boys isn’t even close to that amount. You know i am sad that you guys quit the show, do you blame them for not giving you a send off, you basically just told them to Fuck Off and i don’t wanna be in the show cause of you guys ha ha, how you like me now? Come on man, that is ridiculous, do you even realize how good this show has become? Seasons 1-3 were not to bad, but compared to 4 and 5 they are nothing. Someone said how he didn’t laugh during the later ones, well you must have no sense of humor cause Season 4 got an award for Best Canadian Comedy series if i am not mistaken. You say how season 6 was your end and how you didn’t wanna fuck Clattenburg, well you just did and the rest of the show. Once again the producers are ass holes, but thats no reason for you to tell everyone because I don’t like the way I’m treated I’m going home. O k so you had to pay for your award, think of this TPB IS POOR! They made a lot off the movie, I doubt it, lots of people did go to see it, but no where near some big movie like Spiderman 3 or X-men 3, even the Matrix etc. No doubt that you probably know a lot more than i would considering you actually worked with these people, but to leave the show high and dry when it’s at it’s peak, you pretty much just fucked the whole show over because of your whining about how you were mistreated and how you only did it for Clattenburg, jesus christ man think about the fans of the show and how pissed everyone must have been to find this out. You want people to feel sorry for you or maybe that wasn’t your intent? Seem to have that going around a lot. People say oh season 7 is not as good as the others, its cause it changed, if they made the fucking show in the old way it would be another fucking trailer park boys amazing season. Its kinda sad to see you go but to go out because you didn’t like the people you worked with or the money you were making, you know what that sounds like? Someone from Hollywood, the people you seemed to bad mouth. Hope you have fun in your band and hope you enjoyed getting back at the guys that wronged you and made everyone else pissed in the process. I will remember Cory and Trevor but not as much as i had hoped now it would seem.
Sounds like you were given a raw deal. Sounds like the middle man was profiting big time off of the backs of the hard workers. It is too bad you had to leave becasue someone wanted to line their pockets. They should have thought about the fans. Although, it is hard to think about the fans when all they see is a huge dollar sign.
After hearing this, I will never again watch a trailer park boys show.
I was about to find and buy the TPB’s DVD but then I had to find out why Corey and Trevor are gone. Now I know, and now I will never buy a TPB DVD. fuck them. I won’t give them a cent of my money. as far as I am concerned, the TPB is just a distant memory.
Sounds like they treated you like real cory and trevors. Now I feel bad about buying the DVDs as opposed to downloading them.
You can always sue Volpe and Dunn. A salary readjusment is possible considering the show’s popularity. I suggest you and you lawyer to get in touch the provincial tax comission and the ACTRA. I understand you had signed contract but the terms were unreasonnable.
I never liked “Ray” anyways. He’s a real trailer trash scumbag.
Wow, what an eye-opener! Add me to the long list that needs Cory & Trevor in the TPB to make it all happen. The new season with Jacob and those 2 new dicks, along with Philadelphia Collins and his other asshole son, is truly lame and almost pathetic. I liked the older episodes, like when Cory & Trevor picked up those 2 guys dressed in drag….after all, they didn’t do anything…
We truly all miss you guys on the show but its Clattenberg’s loss; not yours. Go on with your life and even pick up your OWN show. Too much talent there not to continue on. Loved your characters, though didn’t like your getting Sh_t on, all the time. Lahey would have you in the sh_t abyss if he could. You deserve better! Go for it.
I was very dissappointed to see that you guys had left the show in season 7. But I expected it because season six kind of went a weird way for Cory and Trevor. And the people that “replaced” you guys weren’t good enough. Jacob, okay maybe, but those other two guys were just stupid. I absolutely loved seasons 1 to 5. 6 was okay, 7 I’m not too sure about as it seemed a little drawn out with the whole train thing. I do hope season 8 comes out, and I hope the 1 hour special is decent. But more than that, I hope that they return to the classic style of TPB. Mimic seasons 1 to 3 and the fan base will once again be significant.
I appreciate your choice to leave Mike, you were mistreated. But it destroyed the show, or at least added to the death that was season 7.
I really hope Clattenburg sees that the older seasons are much better and he’ll go to them when working on the special.
Always a fan of all season 1 to 3 cast members.
~Dan
eh man!
trailer park boys is my favourite show!
ive been watching it since season 1. and i think that season 7 blowed without you man.
Season 7 wasn’t the same without you guys. It was painfully obvious that something was missing.
It’s a shame that things got so fucked up it couldn’t have been resolved. It’s to bad that you have decided to distance yourself from the show b/c TPB will be looked upon as being a big part of Canadian culture for years to come.
You say that the show got worse after season 3 but from what i read you stopped watching the show. Dude you couldn’t have been more wrong and i bet there are a ton of fans that are thinking “What the fuck is he talking about??”. I don’t blame how you feel about the evolution of the show b/c you were so pissed off.
The Chemistry between characters on TPB was irreplaceable, you were part of something really big.
Hopefully one day you will be able to look back with good memories and be proud instead of all this anger.
I wish that Clattenburg and Barrie might be able to work something out with you and Corey Bowles and bring you back for one more season.
all the Best
Scott
I do agree with everyone in saying that Season 7 just wasnt the same. You guys were indeed the glue that kept the show always being interesting. I was very sad to see the show come to a close as TPB is the only show i can still watch on a daily basis and never get tired of.
Massive respect to you guys and hope everything works out for you guys in the future.
Sincerely,
ALL OF YOUR AMERICAN FANS!!!
I am so glad that I read this. I could probably write a books worth in my reply but I’ll try not to
. I just finished watching season 7 tonight, me and my little brother were avid fans of seasons 1-4 but for a good 2-3 years didn’t bother watching the last 3 seasons. I think this is because after seeing the very strange storylines/direction that season 4 went to we wanted to keep the good old seasons 1-3 TPB memories in our heads.
I can honestly say season 7 is FUCKED. Really weird shit in my opinion, pretty much none of the characters act the way they usually did. Phil Collins and his family were so fuckin annoying it was ridiculous and as everyone has said the 2 guys that “replaced” you were completely moronic and never said a word. I really loved TPB and watching season 7 was just fucked. Even 4-6 was pretty weird, one reason being the way J-Roc started acting, but I think the reason I still enjoyed it was because you and Cory were in it, and FINALLY I got to see you 2 get treated nicely by the boys on camera. It definitely sickens me that you and others were treated so horribly off camera and I actually made a comment to my brother that perhaps you guys left because the way you were treated on camera was similar to the way you were treated off camera. Looks like I was right after reading this!
And I can’t stress how glad I am to have read this because your comments about the plot lines that started in season 4 really hit home with me. The show just became way too off the wall and just too fucked. I can’t even think of another word for it. I really loved you and Cory in 4-6 but I can tell the dialog with you guys and many others was just so out of character. Props to both of you for making the best out of it though, and to be totally honest you 2 were some of the few characters that still maintained most of your original traits from the early episodes.
Before I ramble on too long I just have to say I absolutely loved Cory and Trevor more than any other characters and as so many others have stated you truly were the glue that held the show together. Without you in season 7 it all just came apart in my opinion. I wish you all the best luck in the present and future and I can honestly say that when you are thrown that much shit for so long you are bound to have some good stuff come your way. After checking out the music stuff you are doing I can see that has already happened/is happening. Peace out buddy and I hope you can stomach watching the rest of the show at some point in the future to see how truly fucked it was.
Best regards,
Anthony
p.s. karen wentzell can suck my dick and yeah at least you weren’t the bassist for nickelback hahaha way to look at the bright side
I became a fan in season one and watched the show every week (even when it went into repeats over and over, and over, and over) until around season five.
The movie sucked ass so much that for me it wasn’t worthy of a 65 cent DVD disc to burn it to.
As for the series I haven’t watched it in about a year and a half. I just isn’t funny anymore and I do think it won’t last much longer.
The heart and the spirit of the show has slipped down shitty ridge and fell into bullshit river and it drowned in all the steamy bullshit we call Canadian Television.
Hey sorry to see you leave, yet I am sure you have better opportunities for work with you being much more recognizable.
The show was great with you yet is still very funny without you.
We loved the wrestling costume, and Steve French the cougar!!
Good luck in future ventures.
Hey Mike, thanks for the low down… there’s nothing to blame on you, cuz I know what it’s like to work in Nova Scotia (The HRM in paticular) employers are dicks and they’ll screw you any chance they get. They’ll take your kindness and generosity and shred it to crap and throw you petty little bones here and there just to keep you going for as long as they can.
You did the right thing, and probably should have done it a lot sooner. People like that need their kneecaps broke.
I figured the way they treated your characters was just for show…. but it sounds like they pretty well treated you guys like that in real life too. Unfortunatly, like myself, you sometimes end up going through BS like this, but you never see it coming because you never gone through it before to know what to check for. It sounds like you learned the hard way like I did.
Sounds like a bunch of suck bag landlords in the south end of Halifax (Charge high rent for cockroach/rat infested hell holes and tell you it’s gold)
Keep your chin up high and at least this is something for the resume to get you somewhere better in the future.
Assholes.
MJ and CB both deserved better considering they were just as big a part of the show as anyone else..I am shocked as I am a huge TPB fan. I believed it when Clattenburg said it was like a big family in the DVD special features (I forget which season).
Best of luck with the future and try and get some more TV appearances going! I would gladly watch.
you know what trevor your a fucking bitch its just like u to complain all the time put on your ronnie shirt and t-bag sweater and fuck off. 2 smokes, lets go.
you really broke that shit down well man , focusing on bubbles was a bad direction to go now they had half a season dedicated to him and a puppet
same thing with cory?
and that movie was terrible even trinity was some like 6 year old who read- lines- like- this
Dude, you were funny as FUCK in TPB! your pretty much unknown in the UK, so i downloaded all the seasons and movie and i was glued! Sounds like you were shit on quite a lot, and your absence was definately felt in season 7, the jakob character as everyone else has mentioned, was fucking lame! Best of luck for the future dude. TPB really isn’t the same without you and Cory. Greg – England
cory and trevor….i had no idea they treated u guys so shitty! that really sucks cuz us the viewers are also gettin screwed over this!! u guys made me laugh so much and were defineatly equal in character status….i thought the show needed everyone from the fat cheeseburger eatin randy to rickey and julien….everyone had a wicked role. even the guy who just yelled ” WHAT THE F@CK” every so often. i will sorowly miss the show and will defineately support you in your endevours!!! Darwin—-Winnipeg Canada
Oh well they have new alien armed freaks pishposh they went mentel fuck corey and trever
guest appearances and cameos…
keep the C&T chemistry magic alive!
those 2 can be hilarious and great for any show with strong comedic characters.
How about a cross trip thing whereby C&T show up in the law offices of Billable Hours as temp mail boys or some shit make cash for gas to get across to Vancouver where they are supposed to go and learn the tech of “BC Hydro” super-dope. By the time they get there they will think they are going to be taught by a prof at UBC but think it’s odd that they have to go down a long trail to the profs office – bottom of the trail is paradise – Wreck Beach!!
Back to cross=country,,,,more guest spots on Little Mosque, Corner Gas…you get the picture…language and nature of visits in sync with what the shows do, but still C&T true to their characters and relationship East to West!
C&T MUST peddle dope, beer and Jamaican Parties under the direction of Raster Jason (get down there and ask for him – you won’t be disappointed!!)
Just a thought…
buy THINK ABOUT IT!!
davey ;o)
Wow, man, that shit is pretty rough, eh? I had no idea the shit was that thick around the set. No idea at all. I almost feel guilty for watching TPB S7 now, knowing how all those actors and crew are treated like shit, that’s fuckin’ whack. You’re a talented man, MJ, and I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of you.
I always loved Trevor! Why didn’t you talk about the black and white original movie? I hope everyone learns the lesson of this: stand up for yourself always, and you will have a clean concious, and not feel like you are doing a favor for someone else. To be pissed about a sandwich four years later is silly, just take the other sandwich! Fuck them! Gnome sain?
Good luck with everything MJ!
Mick Jackson,
You lads held that programme together.Just wasnt e same without ye.
Cheers for all the laughs from all Irish T.P.B. fans
I truly miss TPB and I’m sympathetic to how Corey and Trevor were treated but I’m really tired about how viewers say seasons 1-3 are the best and seasons 4 and 5 were blah blah blah blah. BULLSHIT!! TPB was, in my opinion, the best program I’ve had the pleasure to watch. We have nothing, NOTHING, like this in the States except shit like the Bill Engvall show which is total absolute family comedy(?) bullshit. This might piss of some of my Canadian friends but I’m for insituting the death sentence on any asshole who produces another fucking “family comedy”. Canadian viewers who blogged that the show lost its direction in seasons 4 and 5 amaze me. THE SHOW WAS ABOUT LOSERS LIVING IN A FUCKING TRAILER PARK, TRYING TO GROW DOPE AND STAY OUT OF JAIL. Having written that, and if you understand the premise and the characters, how can anyone say the show lost its direction and became increasingly unwatchable? The show was about the absurdity of living that kind of life and the shit you have to put up with!! And some of you wanted scripts similar to seasons 1-3? Thanks for being narrow minded and unimaginative assholes! On the whole the show was a jewel and we’ll probably never see its likes again. I hope I didn’t piss off anyone in the Great White North with my comments but you guys were so lucky to have something like TPB. By the way, some of you should use spellcheck before you submit your comments to a blog. Seriously. Thanks for putting up with me!

yea mike you pretty much made trailer park boys, despite being unhappy with the last 4 seasons of the show u still madee me piss myself. past aside good luck in the future.
Honestly I loved the 7th season and I thought it really did a 180 the show started to really blow after about season 4 and I think getting rid of some dead weight was what the show needed, I love “Philidelphia Collins” and the “Swayze Express” shit.. And the line of Bubbles getting bread stuck all over his body, “That bread feels wonderful” Classic. I think Corey and Trevor were retarded to jump ship cuz I have a feeling the syndication Swayze Train is coming and I think that Corey and Trevor are as Ricky puts it “Fucked in the head” to jump ship at this stage in the game.
Not since Andy Rector leaving Conan have I seen a worse career move.

Wikipedia says the budget for the movie was $5 million.
Wikipedia also says the movie only made $3.8 million (to be fair I don’t think this counts dvd sales).
So that means a bottom loss of $1.2 million from screenings, likely not counting advertisement, etc.
So, not to be a dick, but remember this IS Canadian television.
Remember, Beachcombers had 387 episodes spanning 18 years, with Bruno Gerussi (Nik, the main character) actually directing a fair amount of those. Last I checked he wasn’t exactly a baller when he died, despite international syndication, and huge popularity within Canada as a whole. Still I hated that show, Danger Bay was way better.
Anyways, from what I can see, this is the sad reality of Canadian television and most of Canadian media. Trailer Park Boys hasn’t exactly made it in the USA aside from torrenting and such. I live in Pittsburgh PA now and while its got some fans in the University crowd, you can’t buy the DVDs anywhere unless its Amazon’d. At least, so I have found thus far.
I just miss you and cory buddy. Please try to fix things for one last season.
PS: Season 4? Try smoking more dope, its hilarious.
the fiancee and i were just starting season seven and got talking about how you and cory weren’t involved and i had to jump on here to find out. didn’t think volpe and dunn could be such douches! sorry to hear it turned out so shitty mike! i thought for sure by season 4 you guys would be making real decent cash! it’s not right, especially considering how big TPB got! take care and hope to see you in something soon!

well it’s sad to hear that cory and trevor got screwed over, but it seems like a case of life immitating art… same goes for barrie to actually be a pretty greasy guy.
that said, i agree with steve french- seasons 4 and 5 were fantastic. and i don’t understand how mj could say they were unoriginal- conky and the green bastard are some of the most creative and hilarious eps i’ve ever seen on television. and the scene in season 5 where they play space is my favorite scene in any show of all time. genius
as much as i loved them, if you really think about it, cory and trevor were coming to an age where it wasn’t realistic for them to keep being ricky and julian’s bitches anymore. don’t get me wrong, i’d still prefer to them being on. however, i think the show did a good job of transitioning.
TPB has changed alot, but it’s still the best show ever and i want to see as much more as possible, even if it sadly means no cory and trevor.
Amen, hopefully we will see “Cory and Trevor” again. TPB is probably the best cult show Canada has produced…!
if it helps you did a fantastic job and you were an incredible actor. you and cory bowles really were the best part of the show (besides the fucking, drinking and the pot that pissed off my mom wich is hilarious)i never really watched much after season 2 and season 7 kinda fucking sucks like really bad. anyways i know that trailler park boys will never be the same without u but i will keep cheking in to see if its an old episode from the good o’l days peace
Just finsihed watching TPB 7 and I was fucking pissed to see that Corey and Trevor are no longer in the show. You guys made the show and it was great to watch the two of you get shit on every week and ssad to see that in the end you got shit on literally. Sorry to hear it…let’s go guys… smokes!
man, oh, man. what bullshit. i’m totally shocked and offended that these “professionals” would treat you (and I assume Cory Bowles too) like a piece of shit. i’m so very sorry to hear about this, and the show isn’t the same without you guys. I still love it, but there is definitely a big gaping hole there. and those dumbasses they replaced you with were garbage. Sorry about your luck man, all the best.
Thanks for all the laughs man, like Ricky said, I fuckin miss Cory and Trevor man, alright I said it…
I’m sorry to hear this stuff. And you are a pretty darn good actor Mr Jackson!
I never liked the Cory and Trevor characters. Am I the only one glad to see them go? Good riddance. You were way over paid for the few crummy lines you had. Get a real job.
wow im shocked and surprised….i never really knew what happened to you guys untill now after just reading this…..i always though that you guys just left because you had enough of ricky treating you guys like shit on the show….and Chingy.. go suck a big one
It sucks you guys were treated like crap… but I thought the 6th season was funny, and also the 7th.
For me… the series sucked until the 3rd season… I almost stopped watching it.. but drudged on.
I mean Cory and Trevor were just 3rd string characters to be completely honest. Ricky is by far the funniest cat on the show… with Lehey a very close second. If say, Lehey quit.. I would’ve stopped watching.
It has been funny all the way through, and season 7 is the best season. To say you “held the show together is a bit of an exaggeration”. TPB remained constantly excellent and improved a lot over time, the writing was always great. Theres not one episode i don’t like.
Still, I really do miss Corey and Trevor.
You should have some creative integrity and stop being such a baby. If they make more in Horton’s, go work at Horton’s.
If any business becomes successful over time then the company has to realize it owes a lot to the employees. The employees must be allowed to share in the wealth and accolades of a show or business. If not then the employees can and should leave.
I realize the producers took a risk and they should profit if the risk paid out. But, you can’t forget the employees that helped put you over the top. If you don’t then you are simply being a cheap bastard. And I must say, I am disappointed. But not disappointed with Mr Jackson, rather I’m disappointed in the other actors not stepping up.
Bob Denver insisted that Mary Wells and Russell Johnson get proper credit after Season 1 of Gilligan’s Island I would have expected the main actors in this show to do something similar. In this case not with credit but with a larger share of the financial pie.
You were right to leave and even more right to let your story be known.
In fact, I think it would make a pretty good book.
Go for it man.
Series is over 1 hour special is on Dec 7th followed by new movie October of 09
Cory and Trevor were great! Season 7 sucked without you. That’s why the show tanked. Sorry the experience was costly to you the actors, but on our end as viewers, you were great. Thanks!
You know, reading the blog and thinking back, the show was much harder on Cory and Trevor after season 3. Ricky just comes off as a bully.
you and corey rocked
i wish you were still apart of it. your decision tho. cheers.
get back on the movie just for the fan people love you guys, if not for your fans atleast help end TPB with some decency
Corey and Trevor, you guys were funny as hell the way you guys always messed up and were the dumbest aliens at the Sunnyvale Trailer Park. You were perfect characters to the show and its not the same without you guys. But season 4 and 5 were probably the best seasons. Season 7 was a little different cuz you guys quit. But it was still funny as hell. But seriously, stop being freakin’ idiots. You’ll always be Cory and Trevor so dont try to hide from it. I’m sorry how badly you guys were treated but suck it up for the fans of Trailer Park Boys. Bubbles and all the others are better characters than you although you guys had some pretty funny moments and were great characters to the show. But its not like you and Cory were the lead characters. You guys were meant to be treated badly cuz they’re at least 6 chatacters who deserve more respect than you guys for what they’ve done (ricky, bubbles, julian, ray and j-roc all wrote, produced, and created the shows. You’re very funny Trevor but your a nobody without Cory. I Do miss Cory and Trevor from the show. But you guys made a terrible decision in quitting the show, OR in simpler words so Ricky can understand..you f**ked up!
all the best to you mj, hope to see you on another show soon and I hope they treat you better, for the impact that you had on the show you should have gotten a lot more respect than that, cheers buddy
What in the fuck?! I missed Cory and Trevor in season 7, the alien Cory and Trevors really sucked and they should fuck right off. I will miss the show. Good luck in the future.
haha your names michael jackson thats funny right there and you get treated like trevor thats real funny too.
you were rad tho you twiggy alien, and the mullet was real rad too
wasn’d the same without you guys..im a huge fan of seasons 1-6..I can watch them daily..season 7 was definitly not the same..what happened to the black chick that was Julians girlfriend?? she just disapeared with no explanation also..
first off, trailer park boys is probably the fastest, growing successful show among people my age here in the states. everywhere i look, people know about TPB. which is awesome.
i think that ‘cory’ and ‘trevors’ characters were great assets to the show, yet my undying love for the program HAS NOT changed singe you guys left.
im all for ‘jacob’ and the ‘alien trevors’. i thought that it was actually a great twist to the show to take out ‘cory’ and ‘trevor’ and season 7 was an outstanding season.
to us, the viewers, we cannot fully understand what you actaully went through and how you were treated, but as in perspective of a viewer, i felt okay with the descision…even though i did miss ‘cory’ and ‘trevor’.
the whole conky thing, and bubbles being green bastard, was outstanding!! are you kidding me??!
season 4 and season 7 are at the top of my list.
so anyway.
peoples opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
and season 7 was the shit.
good luck to you and HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!!!
love your work.
yea you and cory made the show more fun to watch because seeing you guys getting treated like shyt is funny but sad you guys were gone in season 7 shytty deals
Big up to you and Cory for staying as long as you guys did and still putting everything into your roles and characters. Seriously, you guys were core to the goings-on in TPB (good and bad). Let’s be honest, Ricky would have been (more) lost without you and Cory, same goes for Julian. a basic rule of show business is to keep the talent happy but what happened to you guys is really tragic. Once again much love and respect to you, Cory and the rest of the crew. TPB was more than a sitcom, it was a journey. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you and the rest of the crew for providing a truly awe-inspiring alternative to the commercial bullshit that the States churns out. *raises hand to give you 5*
[...] Trevor (Michael Jackson) left the show over money issues, you can read about it here: Trailer Park Boys: What really happened to Corey and Trevor… | SaintJohnShawn.com – Views from… The 7th season wasn’t that great without them, a few episodes were decent, but I can see why [...]
Corey and Trevor i call my self a huge TPB fan i kno every line from every episode and i cant stress how much the show sucks now seasons 1-6 were amazing and i cant believe what i just read props to Michael and Cory you guys made the show and it will never be as good with yous
Trevor
Smokes.
Let’s go
cory and trevor were as important to the chemestry of the guys in tpb’s as any of the other charactors,im from the united kingdom and me and my friends reckon tpb’s is the best thing since sliced bread,cory and trevors absence from 7 had major reactions for me and i could’nt really get past it,i could’nt understand why this had happened,until now of course,after reading the reasons above i think i would have done the same under the circumstances,they were completely justificed from a professional point of view,all that said,tpb’s has lost an important appeal in losing cory and trevor,one i think they can’t ever recover from,nor the army of fans tpbs has acquired.
stupidest f*ck giraffes in the dum-dum salade..
You know , seasons 1-3 were the seasons which grew the Canadian fan base, but goddamn, 4 and 5 had loads of laughs for the faithful. even if they did fall prey to some repetition. However, season 7, with its Corey/Trevor stand-ins, not to mention that dumb-ass “Swayze Express” plot, lost the plot entirely. Sure, Ricky and Julian’s lives were meant to be absurd, right from season one– but a scale-model train running across the border bearing Ricky’s fat old buds? Too much absurdity– it seemed to violate the show’s own boundaries for implausible, destined-to-fail stupidity. It was ill-conceived, and Sebastian “Big Fucking Arrogant Dick from Peterbourough” Bach’s involvement scarcely helped.
Corey and Trevor were as vital to the show as anyone is to an ensemble cast, and after six seasons, virtually irreplacable. You know, I had the weird fortune to meet Corey Bowles a couple of times not long before the show’s debut, and for those first few seasons, HE was the authenticity in the park– hell, I was conviced the show was shot in Truro, N.S., not Dartmouth. Those first few seasons really captured something about Nova Scotia on X dollars a day– especially the stray cats afoot everywhere… hell, for me, the all-time best episode is when they hi-jack Rita (Fuckin) Macneil’s tour bus and force everyone to harvest their ripe (and absolutely REAL) weed spot while Rita and gang sing folk songs to pass the time… even my Mom was stoked by that one! Oh, and 2009’s movie could mightily suck– unless Ivan Reitman adopts a hands-off policy– and unless we see the return of Corey and Trevor.
Bless you guys for years of laughs,
Turkeyneck Adder
I am a huge fan of the show! I was so disappointed and shocked to see that you guys weren’t on season seven; it WASN’T the same without you two. I’m sorry to hear that you felt that way about everything behind the scenes, to be honest it really has taken away some of the magic of the show for me. I know that everyone was getting paid and whatnot, but I really had the impression that this show wasn’t so much about the money as it was about the fun of it all. I mean, since when has a Canadian show been so popular, and so fucking funny?! NEVER! Every character on the show played their own part so strongly and well that it is hard to imagine seeing anyone play in another production!!! The Trailer Park Boys is one of those things that could have kept going forever, it is not a show to the fans, but more of a “cult” in which we can share our similarities and be proud of Canada, have fun and that’s it! Once money is introduced to the picture it is almost as sad as saying you would pay your friend to come over for a visit–NOT that I had any problem buying every season, the movie, the christmas special, and some fan stuff. (Of course I did think that some of those proceeds would go to the actors.) To be perfectly honest, it is just the same feeling as leaving highschool and all the people you hung out with and grew up with. Is that lame? Why don’t you ask all the fans that have been WATCHING the show for eight years?! Despite all of this, I still love the idea of the Trailer Park Boys, and still have a place in my heart for all the characters to whom I can relate.
Shannon
how much is scale anyway?
the first 5 seasons were amazing,i didnt like the rest of the seasons made, cory,trevor and cyrus were the best in season 5,the main characters are getting worse with stupid puppets and bubbles going crazy thats horseshit you guys used to be fucking amazing.should have left it at season 5,you would have been gods….anyway i was killed to see cory and trevor leave i always got a laugh out at you guys your awsome and how they made you leave was fucked your right there should have been a show about you guys leaving,but the show is done now its not funny anymore lahey was but hes just the same now. i wish you luck MJ.your still my favouriye boss….
Its tough dawg whenever “hollywood” gets involved.
Ask David Mamet!
But some of the shit you explain makes it sound like real TPB with everyone treating corey an trevor less.
That sucks.
TPB is the greatest show ever in my opinion.
You all made history. Never doubt that.
Im in Boston, found out about through a friend, passed it one and got to watch it grow and grow. That is rare with art in life.
The 1st 6 seasons gave me some of the greatest laughs of my life. Ever.
It makes me sad to see it end. Really sad.
Like sadder then when Happy Days ended.
Fuck that shit!
Miss you guys and hopefully you can make it into the next movie as a comeback cuz thatd be fucking awwwwwesome. (???)
-KevMannDude
yo
To start, im a huge fan of TPB. I own every season on DVD (including x-mas special), went to see the boys live in Toronto and have a big poster in my room.
Ofcourse i was disappointed not seeing u in season 7 but im not gonna sit here and judge u on your decision to quit. I’m just gonna say i loved ur role as trevor and i know/respect that u created it.
I dont know anything about Mike Volpe but i do have a slight disrespect for Barie Dunn. when i went to the TPB show live at Massey Hall, which by the way was unbe-fucking-lievable, I went around back with a freind to wait for the crew. It was the coldest day i have ever experianced and we waited out there for about and hour and a half. Only about 15 other people waitedso it wasnt a huge deal. Throughout the time we waited, people gradually came out for short periods of time. We just wanted to say thanks for the show and get a quick picture. J-roc came out, fallowed by, Clattenburg, Julian, Bubbles, Ricky and even Alex Lifeson from Rush came out. But Dunn just looked out the window several times and never came outside. We all agnolaged he was there and yelled at him to come down but he didn’t. To me this showed his selfishness in not coming out in the cold for 2 minutes after we waited for almost 2 hours. whatever i guess its besides the point.
i still love the show and really hope i see u in the next movie.
peace
He sounds like a friggin crybaby.
fuck the corporate beast… you rock trev&cory! fuck volpe hes a greedy bastard… read this jsut gets me so pissed off more corporate bullshit hollywood w/e the fuck it is, these greedy fucks are like fuckin leeches trying to milk all they could from this show who gives a fuck about producing quality or jsut generaly a good fuckin tv show, they liek shit farmers ya kno lets rape the land fuck it if it grows back who gives a shit lets jsut take what we can and get rich, fuck everybody else…it jsut shows the true side of people fuck em shit on their lawns and piss in their mouths… get even dont stay all pissed off… tell you right now id wouldnt let them do that shit to me
wait another thing that kind of a gay irony….you guys played the parts in the show if cory and trevand u guys were playing the parts outside of the show as well….ust being treated like maggots…like i got so confused when i watched big dirty liek wtf how did bubbles shed get destroyed again then i figured it out that they jsut made the movie to create more popularity and gain exposure to those who had not seen it….that what pisses me off its not about making a movie anymore its all profit profit profit and marketing all that bullshit…they basicalyl made a move iinto a commerical and put it out jsut for the soul purpose of exposure….how sad….and i thought canadians had a little bit more honour than american corporate tv shows….guess were just as fucked up….greed is everwhere
Cory and Trevor were amazing on the show, i can’t believed you guys got dicked around so much.You guys dont deserve that at all. Season 7 definitely had a gap that couldnt be filled.
I always wondered what happened to Corey and Trevor. It’s a shame how the money this show eventually generated was not properly used or distributed. Why not some associate production or producer hirings that were organized. C’mon, someone who ran a tight ship could have been hired if the episodes are going to be written and Clattenburg’s focus is focused on that. That Karen chick had to have been bangin’ someone important, and even still season 6 is late for a raise. One more movie(cash grab) and that’s it. What is after Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys? They(the boy’s not Michael Jackson and Corey Bowles) are writing and starring in something new, and because i live in the states i will have to wait until dvd or oth3r mean$, & the F****** Showcase website will not allow me to watch episodes of TPB because i live in the wrong country(what the shit says)…..on the internet…where i live is an issue? Wasn’t this thing commonly referred to as the World Wide Web 15 years ago? Now that Michael Jackson has given every fan what they wanted I would like to hear it from Corey Bowles side. And it would suck shit to have dicks rip your shirt off when ever they see you in public. Thank you for posting this, Internet Saint. Sorry greed exists MJ.
Fuck you Cory & Trevor!
Greasebeat: The TPB movie was made for the DVD market. Some movies don’t even get theatrical releases, movies with bigger than $5million budgets are made strictly for the DVD market. The fact that the TPB movie recouped 3.8million of its production budget theatrically bodes extremely well for its overall profitability. A considervative estimate would be that this movie has netted $20million worldwide as of today.
My personal opinion is that anyone who thinks Mr. Jackson wasn’t royally ripped off is certainly not somebody I’d ever want to do business with! His experience may be typical in the entertainment industry, but that doesn’t make it acceptable.
Your did a great job making me laugh over the years mike and I hope you will continue your career as an actor, but with a better crew.
im just sad about things are goin for you man you miss me a lot in se7 tpb im hope the time will correc error of the past take caro 4 corey and trevor
Hey bud good job on the show… BUT YOU GOTTA GET YOUR HEAD OUT YOUR ASS. I GROW AND WORK MIN 84 HOURS A WEEK ON THE OIL RIGS AND WOULD LOVE TO BE ON TPB FOR FREE!!! THINK YOUR LIFE IS ROUGH GET IT TOGETHER YOU SPOILED BITCH. ITS YOUR FAULT IF YOU GOT PAID TOO LITTLE. GET SOME BACKBONE A SIMPLE I DIDN’T ENJOY IT ANYMORE WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE NOT 10 FUCKIN PAGES OF SAND IN YOUR VAGINA. MAYBE YOUR JUST WAY TOO SPOILED IN YOUR LIFE!! be thankfull for what you have.
MAN YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN JULIEN TO BEAT THEIR ASSES
NO WAY DID HE GET PAID SCALE AND A HALF
it sounds like you stood alone. Tpb could have been the next Cheech and Chong. greed is why this show is no longer on. Its sad how many people have been affected by these shit leeches. I know how hard it is to leave something you love and that you don’t want to look back and try to forget but you were the best person they could find for that part. Its to bad there greed got in the way of all you guys.i can not watch this show now knowing how you were treated. Its really there loss. To me you don’t find raw talent like this very often. Please don’t stop acting with your talent you would be getting paid fat in the usa. All you guys think about coming here to las vegas and be the las vegas boys and get the last laugh.i admire you for doing this and i will support you and the others by not taking this lying down.i really hope to see you in movies or another series but its only up to you and the boys.i don’t think you really know how big you guys re getting in the us. don’t let the greedy bastards take this from you. come back they stole enough money. Enough is enough. Thank you so much for making me laugh you have no idea what impact you have on people who have lost everYthing but can watch this show and make them laugh. Thank you thank you
you are the best part of trailer park boys
cory and trevor i loved you guys . honestly im sure the first seasons were fun to shoot but i honestly think season 4 was the best . conkey is awesome . green bastard is great . thereas a lot of funny shit there . i didnt think season 5 was bad . but somewhere halfway through season 5 someone fucked up and the show started to suck i thought . what the fuck was season 7? those 2 nameless faggots that were trying to replace you? that was fuckin retarded . and jacob? a main character? phil collins? his son who looks an aweful lot like the fuckin sound guy with the shopping cart. why dont you just go into a fucking homeless shelter and pick out a few dickless talentless people that cant act to save an african (which costs 0.05$ according to red cross) and get them to try to make a fucking season out of them . what a pile of useless humourless shit . and thats my 2 cents
oh and to all of your american pieces of shit saying that canadians dont pay theyre actors . get real XD . just cuz a couple assholes fuck up your day and they happen to be canadian dont start saying shit like that . you guys have had a presidential assasination . shud we call up barack and say ” hey come on up to canada , you wont get shot up here” . shit happens , dont be a biased cunt about it
hey bud repect from the uk and your fan base here which is bigger than anyone thinks, its a real shame people have to be greedy cunts and ruin a fantastic improvised show. i echo someone elses sentiments when i say i really thought canadians were a less greedy more ‘real’ human being than americans….seems not.
i do enjoy all your stuff season 3-6 will keep me amused till i die i think. its put a dampner on it, but fuck, look at the brightside your world famous and easily recognisable. use it.
greeeen eggs and haaaaaaaam
all i got to say is if i was part of a great thing like trailer park boys they could of paid me half of scale and i would of been proud to do it its a awesome show that went to shit after you two left maybe you didnt get paid what you should but ill bet you paid your bills i thought you had a good reason for leaving but after reading this i see that you wanted more money for less work you should of sucked it up 1 the show would probably be going still and 2 im sure you would of made the money you wanted eventually im very disapointed in what i read
How to go Trevor/Michael. I have to say I am a huge fan of your show, you were a huge contributer to the classic that it is today. That’s shitty you got fucked around by the people you worked with, it happens to the best of us, fuck its happened to be on a few occasions. Just know that for every person of the cast & crew that disrespected you, there are ten people that love you guys and truly love the work u put in man. The only thing I have to disagree with you on is that the show never fell off imo. It was fantastic from the 1st to the last episode.
Wish you the best in your future achievements, and I’m sure I speak for a lot of people when I say thank you for being a part of one the greatest/most hilarious television shows I have ever seen.
I guess this thead is pretty old but you never know if MJ will read this.
There is always things going on behind the scenes that people don’t see. It was great to see your creative and professional manner in the show still, that’s a big challenge to overcome and I don’t think I could ever do it!
Personally I felt the show started to slide after the 3rd season, I didn’t like the idea of a big budget and I felt it took away from the quality of the original trailer park boys.
Best of luck in your future with all your projects, good things happen to good people!
Son, let this be a lesson. Get an agent or an entertainment lawyer to work your deal. Don’t EVER do your own deal! Don’t buy into producer’s crying poor or that whole “happy family” bullshit line. I worked for Disney and bought into that line and when I ended a 10 year stint found that other people with the same (or less) experience as me, doing the same exact job were making TWICE what I was making per week. I had no agent, they did. You have to turn it over to the real negotiators and step back from the mess, that is the only way to get what you truly deserve. You will be respected and treated better in the long run. Like I said, this is a life/entertainment industry lesson. Like me, you have nobody but yourself to blame for your poor experiences on the production.
Shit, I’ll never see the show in the same light again ! Wish I hadn’t read the post, I would have been stupidly happy. I liked all of the seasons. Here in the USA we don’t get a lot of real good TV. What a fuckin’ shit storm ! I too, wonder about Julians girl friend, Laheys daughter, and some of the others that were never seen again. Ahh, fuck me, back to watchin’ the Bachelorette !!! Shit !
MJ, i feel ya bud, but they did give ya some kinda credit when jullian in the 7th season was trying to get ricky to treat jacob and his “boys” better and then ricky said something like, trevor and corey meant the world to me, no one can ever replace them… anyways, my point is u were missed…
o and yea, i too wish i had not read this, i woulda bin much happier not knowing anything… as mr. lahey once said, “ignorance is bliss”…. lol
R.I.P MJ!
CB and MJ were the best of TPB it’s a shame they won’t be doing it anymore. All the best to u guys
Doggie it is way too bad that it took so long for TPB to rise in America. I think you all would have had a much better chance of making money here in the states. Too bad you allowed people to guide your choices. You are saying clattenburg is your friend, but yet he talks you into doing things you know felt wrong in your heart doggie. That is not a friend, and it sounds just as scandalous as what volpe and other tv nazi did. it has been 3 years since you all started and stopped and it is just now getting big here. Maybe better advertising was needed. It sucks you were not having fun. you are welcome to come help my friends and I follow a similar dream to create our own show. I hope you still look at this every once in a while dude and I hope it shows my info. I request that you contact me and let me get some more 411 and not this annoying blog stuff.
Grow up Micheal. D you: Give #’s about profits made? no. declare your investment $$$$ into the show? no. your Talent? your agianst trying (punk rock? PC? Stupid?) and admitted you had none. (Ask the TPB lawyer cause he has some). Did you get paid $8 and hour in 2004? How much Dexter gunna raise the minimum wage too? (ask Jim!!!) Tell an average man you got burned. MFTPBMF! Ask them idiot.
Drew,

fuck i was upset and confused when you guys left. Shit just wasnt the same. Although i still loved season 7 and love trailer park boys. You were an awesome part to the show man.
keep it greasy
The count down to liqour day…gonna miss ya bud.
Love the show, from season 2 never missed it.
Bring on the liqour and whores
He signed the contracts, any whining thereafter goes to trevor being a baby.
We’ll miss you M.J. & C.B.
trevor was a simple character a monkey could have played your role you shoulds be happy you were once a apart of the greatest show ever to some out of canada. just like trevor you should go to a mental home your mad becayse a shitty actor got paid shitty you got paid what you deserved Dick head
Yeah you and Corey were awesome but I’d call it partly being in the right place with the right show at the right time. I’m not saying a “monkey could have played your role”, clearly you guys were in with Clattenburg and the rest and what they were going for. But yes they were simple characters. Its eye-opening that Volpe et al were such dicks, but then again isnt that commonplace in the entertainment world? I would have thought that at a certain point, maybe Season 3, they probably could not have gotten away with replacing you, not the ideal situation at least for them. Fuck loyalty. You were on the most popular show in Canada. That’s when you should have negotiated (demanded) more and gotten a lawyer more greasy as Volpe. I kinda agree with the one comment, once you sign the contract its kinda bad form to just whine, especially after a few seasons in when you already were pissed at where it was going and the organizaion etc. What I’m trying to say is, I wish you well, I fucking miss Corey and Trevor but shut the fuck up.
PS. SMOKES…lets go!
I agree with Montreal Eddy;an agent would have helped your cause.As much as I missed you on the show,shut the fuck up.I felt bad at first but then about 10 minutes after reading i said to myself…thats what you get.You bitched and complained but never stood up or did anything except quit the show.If you had hired an agent or lawyer to negotiate i think you would’ve helped yourself just a tad bit.Anyways, i miss you guys, i miss the show and lastly…Corey,Trevor…two smokes,let’s go!
PS.How’s the band thing working out?
Loved Cory and Trevor but, once they started treating your characters as dogs, I wasn’t really laughing. It was just getting silly. You guys did great jobs!! I agree with the last two posts thought. Sounds like you knew what was happeneing and just wished your way to a better place. Best of luck to you guys in the future.
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
Cheers! Sandra. R.
i feel terrible about what happened to you. i’m sorry that you had to go through that. your work and the character of trevor has brought a lot of joy to me. i could go on and on (and on) about how hilarious, natural, and moving your acting is but i lack the vocabulary. wow. what a cunt that karen is. and that repulsive volpe. yeucch. i think i remember those two goofs from one of the dvds’ special features. anyway, i can’t help but wonder about corey. i hope you two are in touch.
i just found out about this shit a month ago, and i have watched evrey episode. cory and the trevster are fuckin hilarious but when they left i didnt have a clue why untill they said rick drove them to the loony bin. I figure they took a year off and theyll be back. Then i read what MJ wrote and can never look at Ray ( Dunn ) the same. Im not sure if it was just cory and trev gettin the shaft , or if it was EVERYONE. but the show got so popular after 3 or 4 that they All should have been gettin good cash for the show. all the clothing dvds ect gettin sold must have made the owners millions and millions. To bad about cory and trev after season 6 but the show was still just as good in my unbiased mind ( since i didnt know till reacently about this ). Like the one guy said, its a show about these trailer trash parkies doing stupid trailer park shit. im stoked for the movie comming out on the 25th ill be seeing it ASAP , and what the last guy said, what the fucks with corey, did he not have a say in this?
Peace Fuckers
C & T were my favorite part of the show. I still enjoyed season 7 but it just wasn’t nearly as good without cory and trev. I really hope that some new people can take over the tpb empire and make season 8 with cory and trevor. To me this is the equivilent of removing cramer from seinfeld. Just curious ….are Dunn & friends Jewish ? You cant expect any better from a ferrengi.
trevor and corey are awesome, but they weren’t the best part
you guys were like the best part of the whole show
Whaaaa stfu.
You were NOT an actor, and they hired you to be on the show. Pretty cool of them!
You whine about “The boys” getting better treatment (which is to be debated)? Well no duh THEY are the stars!
The stars are Bubbles, Ricky, and Julian….as well as Randy and Layhee….your character was annoying!
You whine about people making millions? Well they created it! Not you!
You got famous from this show and paid for doing it. You should be kissing some ass.
“Look guys, I found a mushroom that looks like a cock!”
Probably the best line of the entire series.
Diana, are you kidding? Corey and Trevor were major characters as far as I’m concerned. Without those the story would not move. i did not enjoy the “Meat dicks” replacing you guys.
MJ, maybe too late and not enough but great job! I can still see you guys in the back seat of Julian’s car with your hands in the air. I wish you future success.
Honestly though, Cory and Trevor were basically, backups. Not a huge roll, and definitely not a main roll by any means. When you mention the show focusing on Bubbles and not Ricky/Julian? Definitely makes sense to me. I’m a huge TPB fan and have all the seasons, and can be caught just listening to them while I’m doing something else on my comp, whether gaming or whatever – TPB is a huge part of my life. When I quote TPB, I don’t quote Cory and Trevor, no offense. But, if money is an issue for you, then that’s fine dude.
I’m not saying you didn’t do anything important in the show, because that’s a huge lie, but some of your comments, like the Bubbles issue just doesn’t make sense to me. You may hate your pay, or your purpose on the show, but hating how the show pans out is getting a bit greedy, aside from the money part.
I can’t say I totally disagree with everything because I don’t, I just feel the show has been a huge success and a lot of fans are truly disappointed that Cory/Trevor aren’t on the show anymore.
I somewhat agree with Diana’s statement until she got into the grade 9 version of bashing. Anyway, gl with everything. It’s too bad you guys weren’t in the new movie
While I sympathize with your plight and see no reason to doubt your account I will say this, if you want people (who matter) to take you seriously you need to work on your presentation. Bitchy, barely articulate rants will get you nowhere in the world outside of fandom.
Ezra lol you suck at life…. I had no difficulty reading this article at all… obviously there was no capitalization at the end of sentences but everything was organized logically and the conversational tone was clear. For you to call it a bitchy, barely articulate rant (well maybe it was bitchy) is a gross inaccuracy, and with this being said id like to assert you’re a dumb bitch… hahahah
FAIL
Fuckin never gona pay for a Trailer Park Boys’ DVD after reading that.
Fuck those guys dude, they sound like dicks.
Everything after Season 6 is complete shit anyway. They had a formula that worked and fucked it up by bullying the little guy.
ps. fuck Ray too – the character sucks.
Ray Says – “don’t respect the guy in the chair” and then he stands up?
So fuckin tired of that overdone joke, which is crap anyway. Someone that’d keep doing a joke like that is fucked in the head.
pps. the mountain lion episode was pretty funny in fairness.
Cory/Trever – Jalapeno chips, lets go
hey dudes,
thanks to the people who thought that i did a good job. to the people who thought i was a “whiny bitch” or someone that can’t write…i guess you had to be there. it’s cool that you guys would all work on the show for free. i wasn’t able to afford to do that, it was a job. i always tried to do the best job that i could. i didn’t realize that it was an easy role to play or that it wasn’t important. i think mike clattenburg would disagree with you.
i work as a grip on movies. i work about 14 hours a day and believe me i know what hard work is. i didn’t want money for free. i wanted to be treated properly and paid properly.
ACTRA scale was/is $541/day and that is pretty good dough but not so much if you put your life on hold for 2 months and only get 4 days of work. film technicians don’t make that much less per day and work 5 or 6 days a week.
i think if you actually read what i wrote you would realize that i felt all of the actors on the show were treated poorly including mike smith, jp tremblay and robb wells. maybe you missed that point somehow.
the only “actors” on the show were john dunsworth and jonothon torrens. every actor and even the crew created the characters and helped with the dialog and writing. mike clattenburg was the most important part of the whole process.
it’s cool that the show continued to be creative and successful without me. all the best to the actors, clattenburg and especially the crew. cory bowles is one of the most talented people on the planet.
thanks for the support.
=mj=
outrageous mike. Im really shocked and disappointed by the way you and your co-workers were treated. Sounds like you went through a lot of stress and agony without being rewarded for it. Seems like Fame and Money change everyone, im just glad you got when you did, and what a circus the show had turned into. Good luck in life MJ.
trailer park boys has recently become one of my favorite shows ever. it sucks to hear the people running it were stupid assholes and the talent didn’t get paid well. however i think clattenburg must be cool, and the main three characters. they are what makes the show for me. lahey and randy are gay and annoying, and corey and trevor were kinda one dimensional but they all fit in at least. julian is cool, and ricky and bubbles are classicly funny. i am in the middle of watching season 7 now, thats how i found this site i was wondering what happened. it is still so funny, the part where ricky talks about survival of the fittest then falls in the pond was so awesome. the new goons do seem like an obvious replacement for corey and trevor but it seems natural that would happen. still everyone should have been paid well i think not the stupid producers but the people who made it good, and even though i didnt think corey and trevor were that funny they should’ve been there to the end too the mental hospital thing didnt seem realistic. and the part where ricky says ‘are they really that fucked down there’ meaning america and their pot laws, so awesome. i am in US and ricky is totally right. this show is the funniest thing i’ve seen from canada and about as good as the best stuff i’ve seen from US.
TPB is my favorite show ever and I live in the states.
I would like to know if you make any money at all on DVD sales. That will determine if I encourage my friends to buy the DVD or if they shouldn’t
From the way you descibe it, some of them treated you like you character that you created. I watch a bit of the behind the scene’s on the christmas show and Karen comes off as a real Bitch.
I agree with you. season 1-3 are brilliant. 4 not so good. 5 better, 6 sucked ,seven almost unwatchable.
The last thing I wanted to remind you of was do remember that really bad fall you had while on the set of TPB? I heard that you are still having problems from it and doctors say you may never be able to work again
Yeah, it didn’t seem as funny in season 7 without you guys…but I hardly had time to notice cause the seasons are so damn short on TPB! What did they have? About 8 episodes per season? Guess thats why the show was so popular for so long. It kept people wanting more.
Corey and Trevor are dumb as fuck.!
i know cats and dogs smarter than Corey and Trevor!
rock on hosers!
seriously, im glad direcTV shows reruns on their 101 channel now.
i cant believe (living so close to canada) i never heard of the show till this year
best frickin show on!
From Dublin Ireland we love this shit, and corey and trevor i wish ther was 20 seasons really,
i cant get enough i love every episode in ther own way. Fuck Greddy bastards all the actors should do ther own home video trailer park boys and make ther own money selling them online!!!
++Cosmic Boy++
Seriously Michael, You are a brilliant actor. I don’t care if you have any formal training or not. I live in oklahoma, play the guitar for a living (which is almost an oxymoron) and saw TPB’s while on tour in Canada. I have told all my friends in the states about the show and 9 out of 10 people I’ve shown it to love it. The other 10% are dumb as fuck and suck ass.
One of the reason’s I like it so much is your charachter in the show. No matter what shit you are dealt in life you still love the boys. Seasons 1 thru 3 have a sense of freshness not seen in any other show or after season 3. After season 3 it was the same jokes over and over. If the viewer hasn’t seen seasons 1-3 then it comes across as funny. If you are a diehard fan then it comes across as tired or lazy. Why does the 1st movie (that I flew to Canada to see) have the same jokes and dialog as the original pilot and seasons 1-3? I know you are loyal to Clattenburg( and don’t want to say anything negative about him) but that is unacceptable.
MJ, I cannot offer you any advice other than that of a career jazz musician(a style of music that is almost impossible to make a living from in the states) : Stay true to yourself, those who don’t like it can fuck off. I have called myself a professional musician for around 15 years but the more I play music professionally, I try to go back to the mindset of being an amatuer-which literally means “for the love of doing something”. When you say you were an “amatuer on the show”, what I really think of is a few guys doing something they loved til some folks fucked it up for you.
I hate to keep bringing this up but a good friend of mine tells me you are still having problems from that accident when you were a grip on TPB’s. If you are having problems I’d get a lawyer and seek a settlement because of the lifelong, career altering problems that accident is causing. Fuck Barry Dunn and Karen for not taking care of you. Those fucking cock-asses. That damn sciatic -nerve can cause a lifelong of pain and is so difficult to diagnose and or repair the damage.
We would still like to learn if you are getting anything at all from DVD sales and reruns.
Seriously, I’d love to tell my friends in the US to just go and buy the DVD’s but if all that money goes to the management then I can send them internet links and KAren,Barry and the other management dicks can suck it.
Thank you!!
Shane
Dude, you kicked ass on the show.
Your character was great, and you played the part very well. Corey and Trevor may not have been smart, but they were the most loyal friends a guy could have. Corey and Trevor were a big part of the show. You guys should be rolling in money for that. It’s a shame you got screwed.
Greed is an ugly thing. TPB is the best Canadian TV show of all time IMO. It’s too bad it ended how it did. I find the show way better than the movies. The movies are too Hollywood and don’t have the purity and magic of the show.
corey and trevor are awesome. you guys shuda cashed out when u took the money n dope n had that mini cooper haha. that suks what happened. if i ever see dunn ill make him drink one of my piss jugs u know wut am suh suh sayin? SEASON 7 SUCKED ASS… I WONDER WHY. all the best in the future.
I totally feel for you and the rest of the crew, you’ve put it into perspective why working on this set was an absolute nightmare for you. Nobody EVER deserves that shit Barrie, Volpe and that stupid twit Karen put you and the crew through.
Either way, as a TPB fan who adores Corey and Trevster, you two will be sorely missed!
Oh yeah, and once your budgeting gets on a bigger scale, you and Corey should come do a ‘Corey and Trevor’ special in Australia, you’d never get treated like that down here!
lol…wow there’s a lot of people here angry at successful folk. johnny in particular, chill. you mad cause he aint a janitor like you?
Pretty typical I would expect for that industry. It seems greed changes people. You were right not to put up with things like that. Taking advantage of people is bogus, it’s all about setting up an abusive relationship and then telling the abused they should be grateful that their being abused only to the level they are and not worse.
It happens in all the big industries. One minute people are saying you should put up with working millions of hours for peanuts and all that but if you offered the same people £1000 an hour to sit around doing nothing they’d take it and then say about their old life “Hell no I’m not going back to that ****”! There’s always someone happy to be abused. That someone isn’t me and I’m glad it isn’t you either
)
Dear Kory and Trevor,
You are both still sorely missed, and all of the shady and greedy misdealings seem to have caught up with the producers as Lahey’s prophecy of the shitwinds finally came to full bloom in the latest movie.
We watched ‘countdown to liquor day’ and without doubt, what a piece of shit.
Saturated in shit….
Shithawks everywhere….
One gigantic shitstorm……
One laugh only, when bubbles informs ricky that all the words going on in his head is really thinking and it’s normal.
Other than that the show was a total writeoff.
I feel sorry for clattenburg, otherwise a comedic genius.
Kory and Trevor were as important as the three stooges as main characters in the show.
Maybe the producers will come to their senses and get themselves free from greed long enough to put the greatest modern day comedy show back together again.
I hope it’s not to late.
Greed has been crowned the king years ago !! Its too bad !! I really enjoyed watching the show, and like most people hated Countdown to Liquor Days. I offen asked my son what happend to you guys, why you werent on the show. He didnt really know. This brings me here to read what you have posted. I am disgusted !!! A great ORIGINAL show pulled apart by greedy douche bags who has now just lost a veiwer. Its a terrible tragedy to learn that the only members in a FAMILY are the dollars in the pocket. Damn !! I am sorry guys that this had happend to you. I really do hope that I can one day watch & enjoy a show with you(s) in it. Good luck, NO the best of luck to you in the future. Someone will notice. You’ll have your day, your 15 mins, your deservings !!!!! PEACE .
MJB.
‘disrespected as an actor’. lol omg :facepalm:
I just happened to stumble upon this site, and wished that I had seen it a few years earlier.
I am a huge fan of TBP, and loved all characters for how original each one was.
Regardless of what happened of did not happen I would say that 90% of fans feel that you had an amazing opportunity that most of us would have died for.
I would think that in the beginning you would understand that Ricky, Julian and Bubbles were meant to be the stars of the show and if you were treated so poorly you should have gotten out in the beginning.
You sound like a whinny child who just wanted a lot of cash and fame, poor bathrooms and moldy trailers… what did you think you were filming?? Did you expect to be given a hotel suite?? Grow up little boy.
Yeah no kidding. Boo Hoo poor Trevor and Cory only getting paid $541 bucks a day, and in the process becoming arguably some of the most famous and beloved characters in Canadian Television history. You’ll forgive me if I dont have as much sympathy as everyone else here seems to.
Also, for someone who self-admittedly didn’t even watch any episodes after season 3, you sure seem pretty judgemental about it all. Guess what? They were hilarious. So was the Christmas special.
I agree the tone of the series shifted as time went on, but I think its a natural process that just happens, it was the writers way of trying to not do the same thing over and over. happens to the best of ‘em.
And isn’t filming only like a month or two out of the year? So go do something else to make money for the other 10 months a year, and enjoy being a canadian celebrity. I don’t see whats so horrible about that.
Thanks alot for Trailer park boys micheal, the show really ment alot to me, it’s one of the only shows that announce what life is really about. Getting drunk and smoking dope.
Goodjob!
A recent trailer park boys addict, it saddens me that that every single person who worked on the show and helped make it great were not treated (and paid) what they deserved (although it is not surprising!) I hope it helps to know that the show that has really made me laugh, lifted my spirits and gained the respect of my family (ya my kids love it too, they can appreciate humor for those who think that cursing and drug references are not kid friendly!lol!) comes from the whole thing-not from any one person , but from ALL the people involved! My fond gratitude for all of the work (and heart-ache) that has gone into this show and thank you for reminding us of how much and how many people it took to make it what it was/is! You were missed in season 7,!
yo man, you and the boys made a tight show, all the politics aside, TPB is the best shit on the planet! I move around a lot living in weird places and one thing i do is introduce TPB to my new local buddies. everyone loves the shit, even chicks in Switzerland who wear nothing but Gucci! you had your reasons and for sure i get that, sounds like they were fuckin you over, good on ya for standing up and keepin it real. 7 was the weakest season for sure, and count down to liquor day didnt stand up to the big dirty. by the way, i loved the big dirty, you shpuld check yourself out, haha.
peace bud.
You guys were fantastic. I just finished watching season 6 and am now contemplating even buying season 7.
Take care Michael and Cory,
Evan
Too bad there are some people who “diss” the show because of Trevor and Corey or whatever reason. To me, the seriers is “genius”, all 7 seasons and I’m 62. I have the entire series and must have watched it at least 3 times. Sorry to see Trevor and Corey go….but….still love the show…it’s the way of the road boys.
Randy. Randy. RANDY!!
cory and trever was the best part of the show the 7 seaaon suck jacob suck but u had the right to leave
LARRY
I totally agree with you!! Cory and Trever “REALLY DID GET SCREWED OVER” And It was so “WRONG” of them to treat you two guys like “SHIT” off and on the set!! I had a taste of that myself, when I did a TV show with “ON THE ROAD AGAIN” And they “FUCKED ME AROUND TWO” All because I was handicapped and that I was a dancer. They really took “ADVANTAGE OF ME!” And that host Wayne Roasted really took me for a ride even more. By “MOCKING EVERY THING I DID” He made a “FOOL OUT OF ME ON THAT SHOW” And to make matters worse, they “TOOK OUT ALL OF THE BEST PARTS” And the producer “FUCKED EVERYTHING RIGHT UP” Never “Again! I WAS SO EMBARRASSED WHEN IT FIRST AIRED ON NATIONAL TELEVISION I PHONED THAT PRODUCER AND I GAVE HER SO MUCH SHIT AND I ASKED HER WHY? WHY DID YOU MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AN ASS OUT OF ME IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY? I was so “PISSED RIGHT OFF AT HER” That it wasn’t even funny! I was ready to fly down there and “PUNCH HER LIGHTS OUT!” That little fucking bitch! NEVER AGAIN!!! Will I “EVER” LET THEM DO THAT TO ME! “That SHOW WAS A FUCKING JOKE AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!!! I never heard the end of it to this day. Every where I went it was always one sarcastic remark after another and I never heard the end of it. So I know how you feel!!! And I think that you did a “JOB ON THAT SHOW” And they ROYAL Y “BLACK BALLED THE BOTH OF YOU.”
It was awesome with you guy’s will never be or has been the same. Even with the new movie all my friends tell most parts ok but still not the same without Cory and Trever i understand why u did that all but im a fellow Canadain and i hope to get drunk with u guys sometime.
look man your not the first to be fucked over and wont be the last,and most the comments left by people on this site are just licking ass and would do the same if they were emailing dunn or volpe. the show was lethal and your lucky to have been a part of it.your talented and have your foot in the door now so keep er lit.itl work out.hope to see you and corey in future works slan go maith.
The show was all downhill after you guys left. I miss Corey and Trevor. I laugh every time I think of either character. “Julian where’s the hand cream?”. Trevor, shirt, lets go.
i f**kin miss corey and trevor
I’m an IATSE stage hand from california. I am really happy you did this because it happens all over and nobody says word one about it. They just live with it. i just watched jacob in the big dirty kick julian out of bathroom with no remorse yet, on the 7 season he has always loved julian(cough bull shit story line) just goes to show. Any way cory and trevor ruled and always had that really funny lines that were not in season 7. to be honest it felt really weird to watch. Anyway i live in San Francisco CA my # is 1 559 259 5436 (mrstubenadickt2112@yahoo.com) me my cousin my girlfriend and our roommate whitney would be glad to have you chill or stay we would be glad to have you
peace out MJ
i thought you were acting. didn’t know you were a whiny bitch just like your character. Oh well type casting i guess.
well one thing is for sure, no one could ever replace you two. Your two of a kind
I agree with Dave Jamieson. I am 58 and I’m watching the entire show for the second time. It’s genius, despite what went on behind the scenes. I don’t think you get how good the show was and I agree with others who say you are a celebrity now so go for it. I just discovered the show two weeks ago and I think it will gain in popularity here in the States once the word gets out.
