October Road (ABC 2007-2008, Bryan Greenberg)

Can you ever really go home again? That’s the question that confronts acclaimed novelist Nick Garrett in October Road when he returns home — after being away for ten years — to take up an offer to teach a one-day course at Dufresne College in his native Knights Ridge, Massachusetts.

But once back, Nick finds the response to his homecoming less than effusive; he’s had no contact with family or friends since leaving, and some resent how they were portrayed as characters in his novel.

Head of film reviews at The Viewers Guide with an erudite, insightful, slightly sardonic, deep appreciation for classic cinema. Has a habit of quoting obscure lines from old films in everyday conversation. He keeps a meticulously organized film logbook. He's a bit of a tea snob.
