Kane : Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me.
David : I've never met anyone born after 1965 who wasn't incomplete somehow.
One of the seasons last 12 Days posts featured actor Cameron Bancroft. (HERE:) For the piece, I re-watched Love & Human Remains, the 1993 film which I believe contains Cameron's only nude scene. The Canadian film, directed by Denys Arcand was based on a Brad Fraser's stage play about a gay man and his female roommate trying to find love and sexual gratification in Edmonton as a serial killer is loose in the city.
Actor Thomas Gibson played David, the gay roommate, and one of the men he encounters in the beautiful Kane played by actor Matthew Ferguson. Matthew was incredibly compelling in the role, visually stunning with his beautiful long hair and great face full of wide eyed innocence and curiosity. I had forgotten about Matthew's brief nude scene, but did a few caps to showcase the actor in the future.

It appears that Matthew, 20 at the time of filming, and 45 years old today, has left acting, but he appeared in a number of Canadian movies and TV shows throughout the nineties. After graduating from the Claude Watson School for Performing Arts, Matthew got his start doing theatre before landing his first film role, alongside actress Judy Davis, in On My Own in 1991. Some of Matthew other films include; Lilies, Eclipse, Billy Madison and The English Patient. Matthew is maybe most well known to many for his role as Seymour Birkoff in La Femme Nikita from 1997-2001.

Eclipse (1994)
In addition to Love & Human Remains, Matthew also had a nude scene in 1994' Eclipse, but despite a deep search, have had no luck finding a copy of the 1994 film. If anyone knows were I might find a copy, shoot me a line.
