You knew that Lisa and Dean were already VERY excited about True Detective: Night Country\xa0 \u2026 but today that excitement was ramped up to level infinity because we are joined in the pod today by one of those actors who despite their role being nominally a recurring co-star, they simply steal your eyeballs in every scene they are in.

And don\u2019t take our word for it \u2026 after his filming was finished and he was back Stateside, Showrunner Issa L\xf3pez thought so much of his performance that she wrote extra dialogue for him and flew him back for more filming.

Today, we are talking about the amazing actor Joel Montgrand !\xa0 Better known to viewers as Qavvik, Navarro\u2019s hunky, convenient, sex toy and proprietor of the\xa0 local brewhouse called \u2026 err \u2026 Qavvik\u2019s.

Joel covers his scarcely believable \xa0path to acting, his background as a proud Cree man from Saskatchewan and we dive into his\xa0 experience on this season with some cool stories of his time in Iceland for principal filming. That\u2019s right folks, it was shot in Iceland not Alaska !\xa0 Wanna know why ?\xa0 Just listen along to find out.

And when you are done with all that ear candy from Navvaro's eye candy, then (like Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop) you can go deep, deep DEEP! undercover \u2026 with the extensive links below:\xa0OK, deep breath \u2026 and away we go:
