Hudson Williams with George Pimentel at the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards!
“I just had to do it! In the back of my mind, I kept thinking about the last time I photographed Hudson Williams. At the Canadian Screen Awards, last night, the atmosphere was electric— everyone was buzzing, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Heated Rivalry star who once served tables at the Old Spaghetti Factory.
This time, I found myself backstage in the Gold Portrait Studio, waiting as the winners made their way through. After Heated Rivalry swept the night with 16 awards, we wrapped up with the cast and crew photo. I then asked Hudson if he'd mind doing a solo portrait.
He smiled and said, "Sure."
I reminded him that I was the photographer who had taken the photo of him and Prime Minister Mark Carney doing "the leg thing." His eyes immediately lit up.
With a grin, he said, "that was you."
Then he added, "Well, we should do it again."
And just like that, there it was—a full-circle moment I never expected. One of those rare moments that reminds me why I love what I do.”
