King Lear and Cardinal

University of Alberta: Didn't Cardinal know indigenous actors like himself never got roles for non-aboriginal characters "He was right, according to Huffington Post Canada. For years I was only ever asked to do parts for Native people. An older actor chuckled at his ambition. I didn't get to be King Lear," says Cardinal. The first aboriginal graduate of the University of Alberta theatre arts program, Cardinal has spent 25 years struggling with the lack of diversity in Canada entertainment industry. Canadians know Cardinal as the amiable Sergeant Davis Quinton from the wildly popular TV comedy Corner Gas. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
