Andrew Bushell

Andrew Bushell, man, what a wild ride through Canadian TV and film he’s been on. You might recognize his face from a handful of projects that have totally different vibes. Like, in "Jump, Darling" (2020), he’s dropped into this messy, emotional story about a rookie drag queen and his dying grandma, which is honestly way more heart-wrenching than you’d expect from the premise. The movie doesn’t shy away from showing all the drama and chaos of family, especially when you’re stuck in a tiny town that just doesn’t get you. Andrew brings a touch of humor to the mix, which is kind of his thing—sort of lacing the heavy stuff with these little flashes of wit. Then there’s "The Wedding Planners" (2020), which, let’s be real, couldn’t be more different. It’s all romance, family drama, and that classic TV coziness. Bushell pops up as part of the chaos when three siblings try to save their family’s wedding business after their mom dies. There’s all this frantic event planning, emotional meltdowns, and, of course, plenty of over-the-top wedding moments. He’s got this knack for taking what could be a super cheesy role and making it feel, I dunno, just more real? Less cardboard cutout. Oh, and if you’re into political thrillers, "Designated Survivor" (2016) is that show where Kiefer Sutherland suddenly becomes president after everyone else gets blown up. Andrew shows up in the mix there too, adding a bit of comic energy to a plot that’s mostly about conspiracies and government chaos. Basically, the guy’s a chameleon—one minute he’s funny, the next he’s dramatic, but he always feels like someone you’d actually know.
