Happy birthday, actress Sheila McCarthy!

I first fell in love with Sheila McCarthy, born January 1, 1956 in Toronto, Canada, when I saw her brief appearance in Day After Tomorrow.  Later I saw her in Little Mosque on the Prairie and became a fan.  

She has won numerous awards and nominated for many more.  I looked at her filmography and she's appeared in film I've seen but don't remember her performance.  I'll just have to back and rewatch those.  

She voiced the part of Amelia Voght in the 1995 X-Men animated series. She's appeared in Star Trek: Discovery and The Murdoch Mysteries.

"The Day After Tomorrow" released 2004

The Day After Tomorrow, released May 28, 2004, has been panned as one of the most scientifically inaccurate movies ever, but its still a fun movie.  There are worse ways of spending a couple of hours watching Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal and Dash Mihok.

Directed by Roland Emmerich, who likes these apocalyptic type movies (see 2012), the movie has a huge global storm over the northern hemisphere that plunges the Earth into a new Ice Age within a matter of days.  Of course, it's extremely unlikely but it's got great special effects.  I also enjoyed seeing Sela Ward, Ian Holm and Tamlyn Tomita.
