I live in Brampton and I know my friend saw him at the movies one time so I know he's been around before.
If you ever go to TJ's (i.e. Turtle Jack's...it's a little bit past on Hurontario/Main/Hwy 10 and Conservation I think) he's been seen in there too.

I believe they've extended it to next week because they're going to be filming here more than they expected.
There is a lot of security but they have no problem with you watching while they film as long as you turn your cell phone off and watch quietly.
It was VERY cool to be like 5 feet away from Kevin Spacey though

I saw them in the atrium on my way into MDCL. I was tempted to pull a Peter Griffin at the Today Show. "KEVIN! .... KEVIN!"

They(Barry Pepper and Kevin Spacey) were shooting a Squash match Scene in the DBAC Squash Courts, I completely walked past the whole massive camera/lighting foil thingies when in between scenes. It was wierd, how one serve/stroke was called one scene and once done would cause all crew members to applaud :S

Lol, motivation of course! Plus these actors probably have to do so many different things in their career.

I saw them filming Casino Jack downtown in Hamilton as well.
And then I was eating lunch the other day in Pheonix and, like micadjems did, I saw them filming on the Pheonix balcony! It was neat, you could see the director's monitor screen so you could see what they were shooting. It was two characters talking on the balcony while looking over it at trees... doesn't really look like McMaster in the shot.. so you wouldn't be able to tell it's Pheonix unless you knew.
The actors weren't anyone I recognized, probably secondary characters or enemies.

About Casino Jack and Spacey:
It's been a while since Kevin Spacey has had a notable leading role but, oh boy, does he have one now. Variety confirmed that Spacey will star as the notorious Jack Abramoff in Casino Jack, due for release next year. In 2006, Abramoff and several colleagues were indicted, tried, and convicted of defrauding American-Indian casinos out of many millions of dollars. Hayden Christensen, Christian Campbell, Spencer Garrett, and Jeffrey R. Smith will star as several of those colleagues. Casino Jack will be directed by George Hickenlooper, who also helmed the Warhol-era indie Factory Girl. The screenplay is by Norman Snider, who also co-wrote the script for David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers.
Quote:
Kevin Spacey has signed up to stary as Jack Abramoff, the disgraced Washington power broker, in Casino Jack for director George Hickenlooper and writer Norman Snider.
Spacey will take the lead as a formerly high-powered lobbyist who eventually wound up in prison over his indulgence in bribery schemes and fraudulent dealings with Indian casinos.
Hickenlooper was actually a co-director on the legendary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse, the documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now. He also directed the excellent Mayor of the Sunset Strip, about Rodney Bingenheimer, and the okay Edie Sedgwick bio Factory Girl.

I saw them filming a show I think when I was at Mac for RLS training last year.... "The Good Times are Killing me" I think that's what the title is... one of my friends say Seth's mom from the O.C. (don't know what her name was) out loud and I think she heard us talking about her. xD
