Actor (and now author) David Thewlis came to this year’s International Festival of Authors at Harbourfront in Toronto to chat about his first novel, The Late Hector Kipling (Viking Canada).

Thewlis can make ’em laugh merely by pointing at his own chin. Only Penguin publicity manager Debbie Gaudet, lurking in the background, seems unamused. (From left: Titus McNally, Rupert McNally, singer/songwriter Tom Phillips, Gaudet, Thewlis, Ben McNally.) Photo courtesy of the IFOA.
