Daddo is an Australian actor who claims not to have read any of L.M. Montgomery’s books before signing on to act in the third Anne film.  In fact, he says he didn’t really know what kind of experience he was about to have until he arrived in Montreal and they began filming. 

But on the plane ride to the Canadian city, Daddo’s eyes were opened as to the far-reaching impact of Anne.  A flight attendant asked Daddo what project he was about to film and when he said the word “Anne”, her demeanor completely changed.  “She dove across me to the vacant seat and wanted me to tell her all about it,” he says.  “She filled me in on how huge the prior two shows were… I managed to get off the plane with the script [still] in my hands.”

If Daddo was surprised by the reaction he got to being in an Anne film, he was in for an even greater reaction when he revealed who he was playing.  “It was even funnier when I told [people] I played the man who comes between Anne and Gilbert.  They’d say, ‘No, I hate you!’”

Although the film functioned as a reunion for most of the cast members who had worked together on the first two films, it didn’t bother Daddo that he was a newcomer to the series.  “That was fine by me.  Art always imitates life and there it was.  They’ll all one big happy family and I come in and stir it up.”
