Name:Royal Sproule.

Occupation:Artist/Actor/Musician/Gallery Owner/Director of Canadian Badlands Passion Play.

Age:45.

How long have you lived in the area? I moved to Rosebud in 1976. 

What do you like best about Drumheller?The locals are fiercely independent, and march to their own drumbeat. 

If you could change one thing about Drumheller what would it be?That we stop being so shy about showing off our one-of-a-kind world-class valley to the world.

What do you like about your job?Showing visitors the vast array of art being made in the valley.

What do you do in your spare time?Follow Calgary Flames, and Stamps.

If you were granted three wishes from an angel or genie what would they be?  I’d stuff cancer in a punching bag and give everyone I know the opportunity to beat on it until it is rendered useless.

What’s the most important decision you have ever made? Not marrying the first girl that came along. Waiting for my soulmate. And uh, I am still waiting.

What would you like to achieve this year?Open a booming Art Gallery....check me out!

What’s your favorite movie and why?  Anything written by David Mamet. (Glengary Glenross/Spanish Prisoner/State & Main etc) I love his dialogue. 

If you chose one super power, which would it be?  Able to be invisible. 

If you were reborn, who would you want to be reborn as? and why? A 1st century Galilean. To listen and follow Jesus around and see how much of a resemblance he is to what we’ve been taught 2000 years later.

If you found a $100 bill what would you do?  Make a quick poster saying I found an “amount of money” and hope that no one claims it. Then I’d go out for Thai Food and a bottle of red wine with my soul mate.  

If you could retire tomorrow, what would you do?Take my soulmate and tour around Ireland for a spell.

If you could travel back in time and meet yourself as a 10 year old kid, what advice would you give yourself? Put all your money into a new computer company called Apple. Oh yeah, and follow your dreams.

Words to live by? Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
