A writer, actor and producer, Steve Smith has been tickling the funny bone of audiences for the past three decades. His irascible yet loveable caricature, Red Green, is a modernday "Everyman". With his trusty roll of duct tape by his side, he leads a quirky cast of characters through endless adventures from their home base, the Possum Lodge. A respected figure in Canada's entertainment industry, he has furthered the careers of others at every opportunity. Tireless in his support of the Writers Guild of Canada and the Banff Television Festival, he is also active in the community. He is spokesperson for the Canadian Prostate Cancer Network and has helped to raise funds for a host of other good causes.
