According to CTV, a Canadian actor named Chad Rook, who has appeared in a TV show called Supernatural, has been banned from the United States for five years after trying to cross the border.
From the article:
“Rook initially told officers he was traveling to L.A. for a vacation and to meet with family and friends.”
Apparently he wasn’t convincing in his role of “an actor traveling to L.A. for a vacation.”
Because U.S. Customs alleged in a letter that he was “…intending on setting up residence in L.A. to find work as an actor…”
A message board poster using the name “Locode” pointed out in the article’s comment section that the actor’s IMDB bio said the following:
“Chad is relocating to Los Angeles in early 2013 to help span his acting career even further.”
We don’t know when the bio was written, but perhaps it’s time for someone to edit it, to reflect his current situation!
3 Ironic Things About This News Story
1. The actor’s last name is “Rook,” the same name of the chess piece which is difficult to travel anywhere early in the game with so many pieces blocking it.
2. He also starred in a movie entitled “Sleepover Nightmare” that was produced in Canada, which was released in the United States. So his 3.2-out-of-10 rated-on-IMDB-movie is allowed in the U.S., when he is not, which may be somewhat of a nightmare for him at his next sleepover-movie-watching-party, which may have to take place over Facetime.
3. He also appeared in the TV show Alcatraz, making him one of the few people in history who may want to get into Alcatraz, but cannot!
