The Sloppy Jones team (Jonathan Neil Alexander, Sophie Nation, Jamie Hart, Susan Nation, Sebastian Sage and Lory Mpiana) was thrilled to attend the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in support of comedic icon Linda Kash for her nomination for Best Supporting Performance, Web Program or Series.
Linda Kash plays Deborah Jones, antagonist Frank’s estranged wife and the scheming restaurant mommyger/new owner of the Sloppy Jones Grill where the protagonists work.
Unfortunately Linda Kash, Colin Mochrie and Emily Cohn were all working out of town that week and could not celebrate in Toronto.
