The 2nd season of the Trailer Park Boys: Jail Shorts released earlier this summer, and Rush's Alex Lifeson makes an appearance as "Big Chunk" in Episode 2 (Turtle Acid and a Bloody Knob). "Big Chunk" is a large, intimidating, and murderous criminal with a surprising sensitive side, who first appeared in the Trailer Park Boys animated series voiced by Alex Lifeson, who also plays him in "real life" in this episode. You can check out Big Chunk in this trailer for Season 2, and also in this video short where "Big Chunk" talks about his greatest quality (his farts). The new season is available to stream at TPB Plus (subscription required).
