Canadian Actor Denied Visa to Appear in A Doll's House in San Francisco


By Ernio Hernandez
15 Dec 2003


Canadian actor Geordie Johnson will not be able to make his American theatrical debut as Torvald Helmer in San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater staging of A Doll's House as he was denied a visa from the U.S. Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services.


"With the continuing war on terrorism, borders have tightened," stated A.C.T. producing director James Haire in a release statement. "We have done many of these free-flow type of exchanges before and have never run into any trouble. There is certainly nothing in Johnson's background to have raised any red flags. With the new Department of Homeland Security all the policies of the past have been put into question."

The actor will be replaced by Stephen Caffrey. "We were so disappointed to learn that Geordie was not going to be able to join us," stated A.C.T. artistic director Carey Perloff. "We feel so fortunate that Stephen's schedule was open and that he was able to join us."

Johnson would have taken part in a co-operative exchange program for actors between the Canadian and U.S. branches of Actors' Equity Association. Though both sides agreed to the exchange and all paperwork was completed, the DCIS denied the P-2 type of visa.
