In this in-depth interview, Hawksley Workman praises creativity as a virtue, gets tough with his critics and does not wear a boa.

Jonathan Goldsmith plays the “Most Interesting Man in the World” in the popular advertising campaign for Dos Equis. TORO caught up with him for a candid conversation about his on- and off-screen adventures.

On April 8, 2006, eight men were killed on a rural Ontario farm, in what became known as the Shedden massacre. They were all members of the Bandido biker gang, who had angered former associate Wayne Kellestine with their intentions to split from the group to join the rival Outlaws. But this was hardly a matter of gang politics, with neither group holding much reputation as a worthwhile criminal enterprise. Instead, as author Peter Edwards illustrates in his excellent new book The Bandido Massacre, it was a matter of men fighting over scraps. Not a crime of necessity, but one of anger, unearned influence, and purely bizarre motivation.

Dr. Douglas Weiss is an authority on sex addiction. Not only is he the president of the American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy, he’s a former sex addict himself – now successfully sober for more than 21 years. TORO caught up with him to discuss sex and neural pathways, the naturalness or unnaturalness of monogamy and one man’s erotic attachment to cows.

TORO sits down with Bruce McCulloch and Mark McKinney of the legendary Kids in the Hall comedy troupe to talk about their latest project, the eight-part series Death Comes to Town. After two successful live tours, a growing international fan base and the inevitabily of age, what has changed for KITH 2010? Find out in our feature-length interview.

If you thought there was nothing intellectual to draw from an Arnold Schwarzenegger action franchise, read on. To honour the DVD release of the underrated fourth film in the series, Terminator: Salvation, TORO sat down with world-renowned science-fiction author Robert J. Sawyer to discuss some of the very heady themes posited by its creative team.

Penguin’s David Davidar has the easy sophistication and charming manner of a publisher from a 1940s film. He’s quite tall, with a kind, inquisitive face, and detached in a way that a good Buddhist might be. He’d be married, in this context, to Joan Fontaine and played by either Stewart Granger or Ronald Colman.

TORO chatted with Ontario-based filmmaker Omar Majeed about his documentary  Taqwacore, which follows Islamic punk rock bands on tour and the misconceptions – both internal and external – that have surrounded Islam for the past 10 years.
