From the mind and voice behind Peter Mansbridge and the CBCs comes a musical docudrama virtually without precedent. In The Boy from ET’s _Lives the Part_, Henry A. Svec takes on the role of Henry Thomas, the actor who has appeared in such films as ET, Cloak and Dagger, Legends of the Fall, and Gangs of New York. Not widely known is the fact that Henry Thomas is Canadian (from Tillsonburg, Ontario), that Stompin’ Tom is his uncle, that he is a committed Québécois Separatist, that he wrote many of Broken Social Scene’s songs, and that he has co-written poetry with French actor Gerard Depardieu. Listen to Henry tell these and other true stories as he plays the songs that record in detail an impossibly fascinating life. The Boy from ET's new record is $15.00, shipping included, and you can click below to buy it:

you never stop popping up in my life - how lovely! Good stuff, my friend. So glad to hear you're doing the music and are critically acclaimed and also acting.
I would like to be critically acclaimed.
Hope life is treating you well.
I've got a new album coming out in March/April this year - exciting times.
From one child actor to another; I know what it's like to live under the shadow of past fame. Tiring... very tiring. ;) Great meeting you last night. I enjoyed listening to the songs. Keep in touch.
I'll be back to heckle you when you least suspect it. The most innocuous crowd may conceal the deadliest viper. (How's that for fortune-cookie wisdom?)
Oh how the worm turns. Need we remind you that sweet Henry used to be part of the commune not so long ago... we have pictures to prive it.. We know you love us. And we miss you. Sorry we couldn't afford to bring you in for the festival this year. No Free Train Tickets left and we were unable to convince Air Canada that you are bigger than Jesus. Stupid airline. Take care you handsome bastard.
