who is dave foley? since my brush with celebrity, many have asked who he is. he started his career on The Kids in the Hall Canadian sketch show, then landed a role in Newsradio playing "Dave Nelson". He is Canadian, which explains his awful attire when I met him. on being Canadian, he comments, "I'm a Canadian. It's like an American without the gun." he's going to play a "news executive" in 2002's Run Ronnie Run, a film by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show). It was filmed in Atlanta, David Cross's hometown (mine too, kinda)
