This week has been crazy busy! I've been getting auditions and callbacks right and left. I'm doing grades 11 and 12 for school in one year so I've been working on that as well. I'm also really looking forward to the Olympics this July! There's 180 days til the big day in London, England. We'll be watching all the events on TV. I'm a big Olympic guy if you have'nt guessed. Swimming and diving are my favorite in the Summer Olympics and the snowboarding and speed skating are my fav for the Winter olympics. How about you guys?? What are your favorite events in the Olympics?

Vancouver was hit with some snow recently which was really exciting. Although we didn't get any snow for Christmas we had a huge dumping last week and a little dusting hear yesterday. So time for some epic snowball fights of massive porportions!!

Thesandlotfan---Are you looking forward to driving? Yes, I'm going to be driving shortly here so I'm excited!
What are your favorite childhood memories? Mmm, I think my favorite would have to be when me and my sister would build giant forts out of sheets, pillows, and blankets. We had some good times.

Mysterious---Coke or Pepsi? Definitely Pepsi!
If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be? Ireland
Can you do any foreign accents? Yes I can. British, Irish, Russian, Redneck and I'm working on a Scottish.

Shakespeare Anyone!

Hey Guys!

Wow, what a month! I've been on stage this month! Been so busy I've barely had anytime to do anything but Shakespeare. But it was one of the funnest experiences I have had in a long while! The way the play worked was there was only eight actors and we each played many different characters. I played the tyrant Lord Capulet among others in Romeo and Juliet and I gotta tell you it was quite an experience to play Capulet. Last Saturday was our closing night and boy did we kill it! I was so very proud of my fellow actors and I think we really pulled together as an ensemble. 

To your questions!

Joey -- Thank you! I would love to have a series on the Disney Channel---it certainly would be fun :) Ummm, I think they are doing a third movie of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Mysterious! -- Thank you, I was singing in the end of the film, but that wasn't me singing. And when I have some time here I'll throw up a video :) Mmm, To be a good actor or actress you really have to be able to know yourself so well that you can call upon memories and thoughts that can connect you to the feelings of the character you're playing. So, I guess being you is really what it takes---letting yourself be vulnerable.

Spanky -- haha, I got some books and clothes for Christmas.

Brii -- Yeah, I unfortunately didn't win, but thank you for liking my video! I had a great Christmas and New Year, spent it with the fam :)

Random fan -- Mmmm, self confidence, passion about what she loves, not afraid to get some dirt under her fingernails while not being afraid of make up either---someone who doesn't care what people think. That's what I see in a girl.

ViolaSuperstar--The play I did was Romeo and Juliet and it was beyond fun. I had a great time and met a lot of interesting people. And I am friends with the girl who played Juliet :)

Talk Soon,

Cainan :)

My New Cooooool Video! Check it out!!

Hey guys, wow have I been busy! With school and acting I almost have no free time to myself haha! Now during the Christmas holidays lots of productions go on hiatus, so to keep busy and to dip my toes into another form of acting I’m doing a Shakespearian play in January. It’s going to be really fun, but a lot of work too! I’ve always loved doing theatre so this gives me a good opportunity to stretch my legs a bit in the world of stage ;).

And now to your questions...

Wannabefamous---So, did you get your Mini Cooper? Haha, no not yet but soon hopefully. What acting school are you going to? I’m going to The Actor’s Foundry right now, it’s a really great acting school.
Do you think its weird for a girl to wrestle? No, I don’t think it’s weird to wrestle, I actually think it would be fun ;) Anyway any chance u could make it to Burnaby? I'm so sorry Akina, but me and my sister won't be able to make it. We’re just to toooo busy right now, but I wish you more than the best of luck!! Knock ‘em dead ;)

Spanky---haha, Yeah Karma is always better when it happens to someone else!
It was kind of odd why would a 12 year old want a build a bear? Hey, I don’t think so. If there were Build a Bears in Canada I would so try it once. Aw, getting scared by your mom and uncle wouldn’t be to fun. I remember my sister did something like that… Lets just say it wasn’t funny for me either.

Brii---What was it like acting in the Twilight Saga Eclipse? It was a lot of fun. I had a great time! There’s nothing quite like playing a Vampire. I think I have the right complextion! 
What was it like being bullied in Supernatural's episode After School Special? Being bullied is never fun, but an actor has to portray many different characters in many different situations.

Angel---Yeah, I’m doing really well, and I’m glad you you're back!.

Kyuubii---I am so glad that I could help you. Because one of the main reasons I act is to make people feel better, fell happier and find themselves through the characters I play. So, thank you for telling me that, it really means a lot.

Alright guys, I need your help! Follow this link , scroll down to my new cooooool video and Like it! Tell your friends to come on by and Like it too! I’m competing for a $5000 acting scholarship from the Actor's Foundry here in Vancouver and I need your support! Love you all!

Thanks for reading guys!! Talk soon,
Cainan :D

School Days!

Hey guys!

Wow, it has really been a long time. Sorry, I have'nt been keeping you guys up to date on all the crazy adventures that happen in my life :D

Alright, where to start...

So, My birthday was awesome! Had a big party and celebrated into the night with friends and family. So now I'm 16, doesn't feel too different though, but I'm a little taller :)
I've been focusing a lot on my school as I want to graduate a year early, so things have been quite hectic. But, I'm pushing through and soon it will be behind me, as every kid dreams ;)

Also I've been training hard with Parkour, working on mastering the skills I know and expanding my tricking repertoire at the same time. So, I have aquired quite the array of bumps and bruises, but that is the cost of getting better so I don't mind. I gotta say, I really loved swimmimg but Parkour is really the best sport in the world.

Haha, it was my cat's Birthday a few weeks ago! Sophie (my cat) turned six years young and she was still able to steal the bag of Temptations cat treats and run underneath my bed and eat them all ;)

Now onto your questions :)

Wanna be famous---Have I ever gone innertubing on a flying tube? No, I have never tried that? Do you want to go back to public school or why can't you? Ah, no I gotta say that I don't have any asperations to go back to public school. What grade did you start homeschooling? I started up in grade four about halfway through the year.

PunckyBrewster---Do you know who Madonna is? Yes, I do know who Madonna is, she's a good singer. What's your favorite song by her? My fav song by her would be.. Celebration. Do you like to cuddle? Yeah, what can I say, I'm a cuddly guy. :) Did they paint you yellow when you were in Black Christmas? Yeah, they painted my
arms, belly and face, it was pretty cool :)
Do I think I could carry you like your friend did? I'm pretty strong so I'm sure I could carry you. How tall are you? I'm pushing 5'11".
Do you have an accent? Um, not that I know of, but to you I might have an accent. Have you had your first kiss yet? Hum, I think I'll leave that up to everyone's imagination.
When you are an adult do you still want to be an actor? Absolutely, acting is what I want to do!!!!! Can a person still become an actor at 20? Yeah, it doesn't matter what age you are you can start acting whenever.
When you push your bellybutton will you burp? Haha, I tried it and I can tell you that if you push your bellybutton you will not burp.


Brii---What was it like acting in Supernatural? It was an awesome experiance. I was lucky I got on the show three times. I had a lot of fun on the set. :)

Angel---Glad you're back and taking time to say hi!

I'm counting down the months; about seven months and I'm done with high school. It's gonna feel good! Then it'll be off to acting school!! I want to become a pro at my craft.

Hugs,
Cainan ;-D

Happy Sunny Sunshine!

Hey guys! Happy Sunshine! How have you been doing? I’ve been doing really, really awesome! I don’t know about you guys but here in Van city, we’ve been having some beautiful weather. Summer is finally here and hopefully to stay. Yesterday, I was out golfing with the male members of my family and it was so nice outside, perfect for golfing. I’d have to say that I’m a pretty decent golf player if you don’t count the 6 puts it takes me to get into the hole, hahaha. It was a really fine day and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

Even though I love the summer, I gotta say I am looking forward to when the gym opens up again in the fall. That’s because unfortunately, they don’t have classes/open gym during the summer. So, I guess I have to take the good with the bad, Parkour/Tricking with School classes.

On to your questions ---

Wannabefamous---Can you put the video of the comedy thing on to your website? Yeah, I’ll work on putting one up for you. Do you answer your blog yourself or does your agent do it? It’s, me!! I write my own blog posts. You know how you can tell. If I had someone else do the posts for me they would be up there every week like clock work. I get really busy therefore doing a blog post each week is tough.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYTD7nEx850&feature=channel_video_title

PunkyBrewster---Do you have a girl friend? No, I don’t have a girl friend. I’m as single as it gets. Do you watch Beavis and butthead? No, sorry. I’ve never heard of that show.
Do you want to get married and have kids when you grow up? Yes, I do. I’ve always
wanted to have a family when I grow up. Have you seen Grease 1 and 2? Truthfully, I didn’t know there was a grease 2 but I’ve seen the first one. It’s a really good movie.
Are you right handed or left handed? I am right handed, but left legged. Crazy right?
Where can I send you fan mail? Uh, you can send fan mail to my agents address. It’s on
the contact page or see the blog post “Fan Mail” it’s listed there. Where can I buy A Pickle? A Pickle is online.

Noel---How often do you spend time with your family? Haha, I spend almost every waking moment with them.

Drm---What is the hardest trick to get right? I think the hardest trick for me is the back tuck. I’ve got it, but I think about it too much (sometimes second guessing myself).

Jennifer---What’s it like being famous? Ooh, that’s a hard question. I don’t really think of myself as famous, but with acting come lots of fun and excitement. I enjoy it immensely.

Cainanlover#1---The best acting tips I can give you are these: One don’t act, that is the worst mistake there is. Acting isn’t “acting” it’s RE - ACTING. And two make sure that there is a thought, a purpose behind ever sentence you are saying. Then you are no longer acting you are, as I said before, re-acting. Hope that makes the difference between being the lead and the understudy!

Do you by any chance go to school in surrey Vancouver? No, Rupert I’m homeschooled so I’m at home all day and I do school online.

Thanks for reading this one guys! I’ll get another post up soon!!! Have a good rest of your summer!
PS. I love all the questions so keep them coming! We’re all friends, right???!!!!

Fun Stuff!

Hey guys! Sorry for the wait! How was your week? Mine was pretty great and the reason is because summer is finally here! Yes, I said it, summer and it is amazingly sunny today too, so that was a bonus. I think that summer is the best season, there’s just something about the sun that is so much better than the rain… Oh yeah, the warmth! The beautiful heat that we humans need to thrive.

So I got some exciting new for this week, I got my standing back tuck (back flip). I could do it before but I landed on my head once and I kind of lost it for a while, so I’m back! I’m also working on landing some harder tricks like inverted side flips and back flips, things like that.

I've got a treat for you. Tell me what you think. It was my first stab at stand-up. I really enjoyed it. I had to write my own jokes and then present the material at a comedy club in Vancouver.

And now to your questions…

Wannabefamous---What is the farthest you have been away from Canada? I think the farthest I have ever
been away from Canada is the Caribbean.
What is your favourite song out of your sisters collection? I think my favourite song out of my sisters collection would have to be A new one she is writing but I can’t tell you
anything about it until she’s ready to make her second album. We do the harmonies together---it's pretty cool!
And sorry about your tournament. Hey, I'm sure you inproved and gained a lot of experience. You'll get'em next time!

Noel---When you get a girlfriend will you treat her right and always be there for her? Absolutely, I don’t even think I have it in me to break up with someone.

Sadie---What kinds of movies do you go and see? I like to go see action movies, comedies, and the occasional chick flick.

Justine---What kind of books do you read? I mostly like to read fiction books about magic and dragons but I do like history books as well. My name is pronounced cay--nan.
In regards to Sucker  Punch, (I haven't seen it yet), but I am a young tommy soldier. There are 3 of us and we escort the girls through the fighting and...

Sandlotloversyd---Are you a Christian? Yes I am! God is the only way to go!


Thanks for reading this one guys!!

C out!

SUNSHINE!

Hey, guys! How was your week? Mine was pretty great! Got together with a friend and had a good old time out in the beautiful sunshine. Yes, you heard me right. SUN. Vancouver finally got some sun, and I’ll tell you it was so nice out that I did some volleyball and some soccer. I really had a great time and I can’t wait for the next sunny day we have here.

But knowing our weather it’ll probably be raining in August ; ) hahaha

So lets take a look at your questions…


DAVID---I think the hardest song that I have ever learned on guitar would have to be….More Than Words.

RARAS889---It feels pretty good being 15 : )

WANNABEFAMOUS---My passion other than acting? Hmm…I think it would working for the Cheetah Conservation Fund. I love animals and besides acting, that’s my passion. I also think that the CCF is a really great charity and I think that working alongside cheetahs would be the most amazing thing that I could ever do.

THE SANDLOT FAN---I like to listen to a lot of different kind of music. But I like the band Jukebox The Ghost. Their style is kind of indie-rock. They’re great.


Thanks for checking this one out guys! Ttyl! Cainan out J

Fan Mail!

Hey, everybody! Wow, this week went by fast. It’s almost summer and up here in Vancouver you can really feel it starting to get warmer and you can see the sun peaking through the clouds and shining bright. My auditions last week went great, so I should here back Monday about a call-back for both of them (keep your fingers crossed).

The thing that is so crazy about Canada is that we never have warm weather, it’s either really cold or really hot. But the beautiful scenery here is well worth it. Even though our summers here are quite warm I think I love it best when it rains, not a down poor but a drizzle, that’s my favourite kind of weather.

Anyway onto your questions!

J---Another question for you? How about, what is your favourite thing you like to do?

Abira---Hey!

Wannabefamous---My passion is definitely Acting 100%. It’s what I live and breath for.

Chloe---Do you have a favourite player on the Vancouver Canucks team? Though I love Luongo, my favourite player is Alex Burrows. He plays with heart and determination. He is so awesome ; ).

Ashley---Haha, it does take two to make friends. How can you send me fan mail? You an send fan mail to this address (my agent’s) and they’ll send it to me.


#220-807 Powell St.
Vancouver, British Columbia

A question for you? Hmm…How about, what is the one thing that you would love to do before you…What’s on your Bucketlist?

What's New!

Hey guys! WOW what a whirlwind week. Auditions, stand-up comedy, and summer planning.

I got a couple of auditions this week for a Movie and TV series. So I’ll be hearing back about them really soon, I can’t wait! And you guys know that I’ve been doing the comedy classes over the last six weeks and Tuesday we had our final performance and I can tell you that it was so much fun. Each of the members of the class did a five minute set and then me and the instructor did a rap about the Canucks in the playoff’s. It was a lot of fun and I will post a video of the show on the website really soon.

And as far as the summer planning, I’ve got a lot different things that I’m intending on doing this summer and I’m quite excited. One - I’m going to be going to Splash Down Waterslides. Two - I will be going to Play Land (like Disney Land, but a lot smaller) a lot this summer and it’s going to be so much fun. And three - I will be going Bowling, and playing tennis and golf. All in all it is going to be an amazingly awesome summer.

And now to your questions - (I will be answering a lot so prepare yourself.)

ASHLEY - Would you date a fan? If I was truly in love with someone I think it wouldn’t matter who it was.
- Who’s number is on your contact page?
It’s my agents number on the contact page.
- When will you be in any movies or TV shows?
If you keep your eyes on the TV screen you’ll see me up there in no time.

J - Would you be friends with a fan? Yeah, I think I would be friends with a fan.
- Would you be my friend?
If you need a friend then I won't turn you down, to quote a great movie “ you’ve got a friend in me”.
- What’s your FB name?
My Face Book name is just My name Cainan Wiebe.
- What’s your favorite animal?
My favorite animal is the King of all cats (in my opinion) the Cheetah. Because it is the fastest, coolest, and
most awesome-est animal in the world.
- Do you live in Canada or the US?
I am a proud CANADIAN.
- Do you have Skype?
No I don’t, I doesn’t seem to work on my computer.
-
A question for you? How about, what’s your favorite animal?

NOEL - Since you’re home schooled do you still go on field trips? No, I don’t. It would be fun to, but it isn’t really in the curriculum of online school.

NICKIMINAJFAN - I’ll definitely check out that Killers song you said I should play.

WANNABEFAMOUS - Are you sick? I was a couple of weeks ago, but not recently.
- Is it Victoria day in Canada? It was Victoria Day Last Monday, good call.
- Are you going to play a part in the movie Hunger Games? No, unfortunately not.
- A question for you? Mmm… How about. What is your passion in life, what do you love to do?

CHLOE - Are you a Vancouver Canucks fan? Yes, I am a huge Canucks FAN! I love the team, the players, and the fact that we’ve come so far in the playoffs.

Thanks for your song suggestions. I'll give some of the new ones a listen and think about what should be the first song I perform for you guys.

Have a great week!! Your friend Cainan
