Trevor Smith (actor)
Trevor (Tre) Smith (born December 10, 1970) is a Canadian former television personality, best known for his role in the reality television series ''U8TV: The Lofters''.〔("The Lofty Airs Of U8TV" ). chartattack.com, January 1, 2001.〕 Prior to appearing on ''The Lofters'', Smith was a child actor, whose credits included regular roles in the CBC Television shows ''Spirit Bay'' and ''9B''.
He later made guest appearances on ''My Secret Identity'', ''The Rez'', ''Earth: Final Conflict'' and ''Kung Fu: The Legend Continues'' and dozens of other movies and television shows; while appearing on ''The Lofters'', he was also one of the hosts, along with Arisa Cox and Jennifer Hedger, of the associated series ''U8 on Film''. He was also a contender for the role of Brian Kinney on ''Queer as Folk'', which eventually went to Gale Harold; however, Smith did appear in a minor role in an early episode.〔''So Gay TV'', November 1, 2001.〕
Smith later worked as the lead animal cruelty investigator for the Toronto Humane Society, frequently appearing in this role as a regular guest on CP24's ''Animal Housecalls''.〔("Did dog rescuer go too far?" ). ''Toronto Star'', August 16, 2007.〕 In August 2007, he made national headlines when he smashed open the window of a locked car to rescue a dog who was in imminent danger of dying from heat exhaustion. Smith then handcuffed the dog's owner to the car, and the owner was subsequently beaten by enraged onlookers. Smith became a hero to animal rights activists across Canada, despite it resulting in him being disciplined by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.〔("Activists rally behind Humane Society officer" ). CTV News, August 15, 2007.〕 The OSPCA later suspended the organization's credentials in 2009 due to concerns around the leadership of then-THS president Tim Trow; Smith was briefly arrested in early 2010 for allegedly continuing to investigate animal cruelty claims despite the society's suspension.〔("Humane Society celebrity arrested" ). ''Toronto Star'', January 7, 2010.〕 Frank Addario, a lawyer for the Humane Society, characterized Smith's arrest as unwarranted grandstanding by the OSPCA,〔("THS agent leashed" ). ''Toronto Sun'', January 27, 2010.〕 noting that before arresting Smith, the OSPCA had taken the unprecedented and potentially unethical step of issuing a press release to the media announcing that they planned to arrest him, including suggestions for where the media might want to position themselves to get the best pictures of the arrest.〔 All of the charges against Humane Society officers and staff were eventually dropped.〔("Toronto Humane Society charges dropped" ), CBC News, August 16, 2010〕
Smith has continued to make occasional guest appearances as an actor, including credits on ''The Border'', ''Fringe'', ''The Listener'', ''The Ron James Show'', ''Lost Girl'' and ''King''.
