In death, the voice of Ramsey Whitefish has surfaced with a power he did not possess as a homeless man living in Toronto.

A gripping 2012 Hamlet-inspired video reveals the raw, poetic soul of the 42-year-old found dead Wednesday at 60 Gloucester St., near Church and Wellesley Sts. Trevor Severin, 24, was charged with one count of second-degree murder.

On the YouTube video, Whitefish interprets Hamlet’s centuries-old soliloquy by drawing from his own haunting experiences as an aboriginal man trying to survive in downtownToronto.

“All I think about is nothing. Nothing!” Whitefish says angrily to the camera, while standing in a downtown alley.

“All my friends are dying, each and every frickin’ day. Therefore, I stand here alone. Alone. Alone. Alone.”

The video grew out of a drama project developed by Sanctuary, a Christian charitable organization whose outreach includes programs and services for the city’s homeless. Though Whitefish shared a room in a Gloucester St. rooming house, a friend of his told the Star Whitefish didn’t like the place, didn’t choose his roommate and often would not sleep there because of bedbugs and safety concerns.

In 2012, Sanctuary art director Lyf Stolte said Whitefish, along with several “street brothers,” had asked Stolte about acting, referring to acting as “to be or not to be.” With that phrasing in mind, Stolte chose Hamlet’s soliloquy to discuss.

Stolte worked with Whitefish “semi-regularly” over six months, culminating in the performance shot in an alley between the Sanctuary building and a condo. Whitefish spoke for about three minutes into the camera.

“It was one take. He didn’t use a script. He knew there was this central idea locked in his brain about the soliloquy,” Stolte said of the man he’d known for more than a decade and described as a talented poet.

With just a single camera, Stolte wanted a second angle and asked Whitefish to repeat the monologue. Whitefish obliged. Stolte edited the two pieces (they weren’t identical but very close in theme, he said) into a seamless three-minute final cut.

As his performance nears the end, Whitefish addresses — and twists — the iconic line:

“To be or not to be? That is the answer that the question killed.”

Then, Whitefish hangs his head and weeps.

His left hand dries the tears. His right hand cradles a bottle of alcohol. Whitefish looks up, towards the sky, and ever so softly says, “Thank you very much.”

At the time, Whitefish gave Stolte permission to post the video on YouTube under his nickname, Rammstein.

“He wanted to share his story and he felt it was really reflected in the “To Be or Not To Be” project,” Stolte said of his “very big-hearted, big personality” friend.

The art director recalled that Whitefish “loved” the finished product.

“He said, ‘I’m like f---ing Marlon Brando, aren’t I?” Stolte said, laughing.

“And I said, ‘Yes, yes, you kind of are.’”
