Trevor Smith
He later made guest appearances on My Secret Identity, The Rez, Earth: Final Conflict and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues and dozens of other movies and television shows; while appearing on The Lofters, he was also one of the hosts, along with Arisa Cox and Jennifer Hedger, of the associated series U8 on Film. He was also a contender for the role of Brian Kinney on Queer as Folk, which eventually went to Gale Harold; however, Smith did appear in a minor role in an early episode.
Smith later worked as the lead animal cruelty investigator for the Toronto Humane Society, frequently appearing in this role as a regular guest on CP24's Animal Housecalls. In August 2007, he made national headlines when he smashed open the window of a locked car to rescue a dog who was in imminent danger of dying from heat exhaustion. Smith then handcuffed the dog's owner to the car, and the owner was subsequently beaten by enraged onlookers. Smith became a hero to animal rights activists across Canada, despite it resulting in him being disciplined by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The OSPCA later suspended the organization's credentials in 2009 due to concerns around the leadership of then-THS president Tim Trow; Smith was briefly arrested in early 2010 for allegedly continuing to investigate animal cruelty claims despite the society's suspension. Frank Addario, a lawyer for the Humane Society, characterized Smith's arrest as unwarranted grandstanding by the OSPCA, noting that before arresting Smith, the OSPCA had taken the unprecedented and potentially unethical step of issuing a press release to the media announcing that they planned to arrest him, including suggestions for where the media might want to position themselves to get the best pictures of the arrest. All of the charges against Humane Society officers and staff were later dropped, and were eventually revealed to stem entirely from the OSPCA's opposition to THS being run as a no-kill shelter rather than any actual evidence of mismanagement.
Smith has continued to make occasional guest appearances as an actor, including credits on The Border, Fringe, The Listener, The Ron James Show, Lost Girl and King.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
