This week on the Richard Crouse Show we\u2019ll meet the cast of a new CBC Television show called \u201cSon of a Critch.\u201d If you are a fan of the political commentary and social satire of \u201cThis Hour Has 22 Minutes,\u201d you already know Mark Critch. Since 2003 he has starred on the political parody show. He\u2019s photo-bombed Justin Trudeau, offered Pamela Anderson a million dollars to stop acting, and poked fun at characters like Rex Murphy, Don Cherry and Donald Trump.\n\nHis latest project is much more personal. A couple years ago Mark wrote a warm and funny look back at his formative years, growing up in St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland in the 80s called \u201cSon of a Critch: A Childish Newfoundland Memoir\u201d. That bestseller is now the basis of Son of a Critch, which airs on CBC television and CBC Gem on Tuesday nights. \n\nLater in the show we\u2019ll meet Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who plays the eleven year old Mark on the show, and we\u2019ll spend some time with the legendary actor Malcolm McDowell, the star of \u201cA Clockwork Orange\u201d and so many other films, and who plays Mark\u2019s grandfather. McDowell talks about his new found love of Newfoundland and offers advice to young actors.
