Film and television work

On 29 December 2009, Pope and his sister were driving a black BMW vehicle down West Georgia Street in Downtown Vancouver when David Fromradas, age 31 of Alberta, jumped on top of the car and yelled at them to run him over. When Pope got out of the car, Fromradas jumped in the front seat and drove the vehicle into the new CBC studios. Pope suffered severe injuries to his ankle; his sister suffered a broken rib and two cracked vertebrae. The two, along with an unidentified victim, were treated at hospital; Fromradas was also treated in hospital and remained in police custody.
