Michael Ironside arrives in Astoria

Four-time Gemini Award nominee Michael Ironside will be spending the weekend in Astoria, reportedly researching his role for the rumored Kindergarten Cop prequel, Crisp Rising.

Ironside, who is best known for his role as Sheriff Tony Willinger in the made-for-television classic, Lake Placid 3,  has not been featured in a major motion picture in nearly five years.

When asked for details on this highly anticipated project, Ironside surprisingly had very little to offer.

"Actually, I'm not here to film a movie at all," the actor claimed. "My press team and I are here to sample the Ol' Ironsides sandwich at Albatross. From my understanding, it's based on some of my earlier films. I've been quite curious about it for some time now."

The Ol' Ironsides sandwich features bacon, braised pork shoulder, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Albatross' signature 1001 island dressing.

It is, however, unrelated to actor Michael Ironside.

After coming to this realization, Ironside immediately expressed regret about spending nearly $600 for a round-trip ticket from Toronto, Ontario.

"This is a little embarrassing," admitted Ironside. "I guess I just assumed that because the owner of Albatross is a fellow Canadian, he must have been a longtime fan. He probably doesn't even know who I am. Honestly, I feel like a fucking idiot right now."
