Still a little bit rock 'n' roll - Globe and Mail - August 27, 2008

Rock 'n' roll never forgets, but times change.

Back in his wild days as lead singer of the Headstones, Hugh Dillon was all about the music, and any other method of creative expression never crossed his mind. And even if it did - some memories remain hazy - acting was at the very bottom of his list.

"I never really liked actors or acting back then," says Dillon with a smile and a shrug. "It was acting, you know? I wasn't great at working with others or the group collaboration. At the time, all I could handle was making music with four other people."

That was then, this is now. The transition of Hugh Dillon from rock 'n' roll animal to respected TV thespian has come full circle of late.

Flashpoint

FLASHPOINT is a high-stakes ensemble police drama about a team of elite cops that handle the calls ordinary cops can't. Highly trained in swat tactics and psychology, this specialized unit uses state-of-the-art weaponry - sniper rifles, snake-cameras, and robotics - along with expert negotiating tactics, to take down - or talk down - hostage-takers, terrorists, and bomb-makers and delve deeply into the psychology of the human beings at the center of each week's flashpoint. Leading the team are Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars, Just Shoot Me) as the emotionally brilliant Gregory Parker, the SRU's head negotiator and Hugh Dillon (Durham County, ReGenesis) as Ed Lane, alpha male and tactical brain of the SRU.
