Season Finale: Thomas Elms

Thomas Elms stars in SkyMed, the action-packed CBC dramatic series about the up-and-coming pilots and nurses who work at an air ambulance service; the show premiered in July on CBC Television, CBC Gem, and Paramount Plus, and immediately got people buzzing on all the socials. Thomas is Captain Milosz Nowak, a calm, collected, and fiercely loyal pilot who broke with his immigrant parents to make his sky-high dreams come true. Thomas previously starred as Hamish Duke (the sardonic, cocktail-swilling werewolf and leader of the Knights of Saint Christopher) on The Order and recently wrapped a meaty role in The Boys in the Boat, an upcoming dramatic film directed by George Clooney about the legendary 1936 U.S. Olympics Rowing Team. In this fascinating conversation, Thomas reflects on his time as Hamish on The Order, what he learned working with George Clooney in The Boys in the Boat, Dennis Heaton’s legendary brain, what it means to flex his “imagination muscle,” and the joys and challenges of portraying SkyMed’s icy-cool Polish pilot. NOTE: The YVR Screen Scene Podcast is going on summer vacation!
