This week had actors jumping all over the great city of Vancouver, as they went on location in quirky outlying neighborhoods like Burnaby and Westminster Quay. Burnaby is a quaint little suburb with ducks in ponds and trees and parks - the kind of place where people do a lot of strolling. Westminster Quay, on the other hand, is an industrial area right on the river. It's gentrifying (of course), but people there have calloused hands and hearts of gold.

Seeing so many actors hard at work really highlighted the division between those who get work, and those who just don't. Jean-Claude Van Damme, we're looking at you. It seems as though he's determined to keep partying in Vancouver, probably taking advantage of the exchange rate. At least he's moved on from karaoke and now is hitting up bars favored by the "Sex and the City" ladies. A ClubZone user has a review of the bar, called Ginger 62:

The perfect sized venue for an intimate feel. Great decor with good lighting. The music consistently works the room and the hot crowd without all the little kiddies is a bonus. Mix it all up and the result is a great atmosphere.

On the other hand, Pierce Brosnan, Rachel McAdams, and Mark Wahlberg were all spotted hard at work on their movies. Rachel and Pierce have to withstand heavily starched period costumes. Mark has to run around drenched in blood. Which would you prefer?

Will somebody put Jean-Claude in a movie so he can have a reason for his West End antics. Just a cameo? Something, please.

About Chasing Vancouver
We chase around Hollywood A-listers, grips, PAs, and anyone with any vague sense of self importance, to plot some of the must hit and must miss Vancouver locations. We do all this in an attempt to create a cool, "Travel Guide to Vancouver", which we will be left with at the end of the series.

For those of you on the ground in Vancouver, you have an important role in all of this--You help us keep track of local sightings, filming locations, send in cool photos, tip us off to anything we should know about Vancouver, and send all of this over to us at tips@jaunted.com. We thrive on your tips, and no pressure, but the folks in Toronto kicked some serious ass at this a couple months back.
