‘I'm incredibly lucky,’ says Gobbo, who also appears in the Netflix series ‘Ginny & Georgia’; fourth season of ‘Son of a Critch’ airs on CBC starting Jan. 7
Since 2022, Gobbo has appeared in the CBC television series “Son of a Critch,” the semi-autobiographical series created by Canadian comedian Mark Critch .Gobbo plays Mark’s older brother, Mike Critch Jr. Mark Critch portrays his own father, Mike Sr., a long-time radio journalist in Newfoundland, and Malcolm McDowell plays his grandfather, Pop.
Gobbo’s character, 21-year-old Mike Jr., has followed in his father’s footsteps, and gone into radio. “He's got his own show. He's kind of found his own groove in terms of being a host. So that's been really fun to go on that journey for four years.”Gobbo is from Sudbury, and, of course, does not have a Newfoundland accent, so in season one, he and the other actors had a dialect coach.
“He has definitely gotten me to improve my timing and my comedy, and it's amazing,” he said. “He seems like the perfect Newfoundlander, and when you talk to him, he’s the most pleasant, wonderful human being. He’s hilarious, will crack you up, but is so knowledgeable and so helpful when it comes to more serious things.”
Gobbo got his acting start right here in Sudbury, when at the age of nine years old he appeared in YES Theatre’s inaugural production of “Hair.”
