Untitled[edit]

What evidence is there that Regehr was a "champion figure skater"? What, exactly, championships is he supposed to have won? There seem to be many actors who have some training in figure skating, but very few of them have ever competed at a high level in the sport, and I think it is a mistake to identify them as "figure skaters" when that is not their primary occupation or the source of their fame.

Regehr never claimed to be a champion figure skater ~ that claim is erroneously made by 'fans'. Regehr *did* skate as a child and was quite good. His parents had hopes for him to become an olympic contender. Regehr had other ideas.

This newspaper article mentions his skating in ice shows during his high school years, but nothing is reported about skating after that. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:26, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Painter[edit]

"A strong draftsman, Regehr’s elegant lines delineate every component of his paintings with sensitivity and clarity. These delicately balanced compositions capture the presence and strength of the thoughts and acts of the subjects, while Regehr’s acute perceptions of the human experience, observations of life, culture and history manifest as richly resolved imagery. His figurative and representational works bend perspectives and stretch space in ways that evoke penetrating depths of meaning ~ Regehr reveals the exterior by painting the interior. His sensitive paintings and drawings are imbued with symbolism and mystery, inviting the viewer deep into his subjects’ thoughts and situations, forging a provocative relationship between the two. His paintings are unequivocal statements, made in a personal idiom, that resonate with universality."

Jeez, how do you fix that one up? Few facts, lots of opinions. Is he the "nicest guy evah" too?
