What other Brent Carver works have you found? I found The Wars, Pirates of Penzance, Crossbar, his episode of Twice in a Lifetime, his Twilight Zone episode, Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Whiskers, and Deeply.
I just acquired the 1988 Stratford Much Ado with him as Don John, and I have his episode of Due South as well. He sings "Michael's Song", about young wounded veterans, on the 1995 Voices of Broadway album. All of my close friends end up watching Elizabeth Rex with me sooner or later. Then there are the small pieces available online, like his Governor General's Award video, the 2010 As You Like It promo, "Who Wants to Live Forever", him doing "Every Day a Little Death" with Rufus Wainwright, the Art of Time collection (10 songs!) and somewhere... somewhere that three quarters of "Pilate's Dream". I have to find that again.
I bought the cast album for My Life with Albertine years ago, sight completely unseen, and now whenever I want someone to understand how he captivated me, I direct them to that album's "Song of Solitude". The lyrics verge on maudlin, but the way he handles it? It's him at his finest and most heartrending.
