In the winter of 2000, the Canadian television star Jonathan Torrens broke his femur in a car crash. Torrens was 27. He had been an actor since high school. At the time of the crash, he was entering his fifth year as host of Jonovision," an after-school show for teens that combined talk-show style interviews with sketch comedy and musical guests, filmed with a live audience. Jonovision" was fun and weird and full of random delights; in one skit, Torrens played all five members of a boy band singing a power ballad in a music video.
