Simply put, A Side of Rice is me - it’s some of the stories I’ve amassed in my 50 years of professional acting and my 73 years of life. Starting out as a shy, fatherless Jewish kid in Winnipeg (Kelvin, Class of ‘69), I grew up to become an actor, a writer, a teacher, a martial artist and I hope, a devoted father and friend. Some of my stories are sad, some are funny; all, I promise, are totally true.


“…with his gentle poetic cadence and obvious enthusiasm, Rice is a charming storyteller with plenty of joy, history, and wisdom to share.” - Julia Peterson, Saskatoon StarPhoenix 2023

“It’s impossible not to love this show, and it’s impossible not to be charmed by the irrepressible Rice.” - Matt Olson, PodSask 2023
