This was after an incident in the parking garage of his downtown hotel. Reynolds, who is in his Vancouver hometown to shoot the superhero film Deadpool, was reportedly hurt in a confrontation with a photographer.

Asked by CBC Vancouver how he was doing, the actor replied by social media message,“Put Beachcombers back on the air and I’ll call.”

“I knew I liked this guy,” said Vancouver-based actor Jackson Davies, who played RCMP Constable John Constable on the long-running series.

“I’ve always thought that Ryan Reynolds was one of the brightest actors in Canada and the world, and he’s stepped up once more.”
