In the style of a big-screen fairy tale, this vibrant film takes a lighthearted look at three imaginary kingdoms, one Blue, one Red and one Yellow, that engage in a colorful battle for supremacy. In so doing they create the first rainbow which results in new friendships and understandings among the warring nations. Rainbow War was produced for Canadian Pacific, Ltd. It was rated among the top five shows for Expo 86 and it is the only World's Fair film in the last twenty years to be nominated for an Academy Award (Best Live Action Short Film).

RAINBOW WAR REQUESTS (BRC Site, 9/00)

Since we created our web site almost 2 years ago one of the most frequent inquiries has been from people interested in purchasing a copy of our Rainbow War film. Rainbow War played in the Canadian Pacific pavilion at Expo 86 in Vancouver, Canada. The contact information has been permanently added to the Rainbow War section of this site. We want to thank everyone for your interest and for sharing your remembrances of Rainbow War and Expo 86 with us.

It's not surprising that Ryan Stiles would land the role of Lewis, one of Drew Carey's ever-present friends, in "The Drew Carey Show." After all, his first job was as a stand-up comedian. Although he was a good student, Stiles admits that "being a high-school senior gave me too much freedom." He got so carried away with his flexible schedule that he quit school a few months shy of graduation and got a job doing stand-up comedy in Vancouver. In spite of his parents' objections, he was able to support himself for several years; but quit doing stand-up when, as he says, "everybody else started doing it." He didn't stray too far from the world of comedy. In 1986, he joined the highly acclaimed Second City comedy ensemble in Toronto, where he honed his improvisational skills. In 1990, Stiles was invited to join the Los Angeles Second City group. Film and television roles soon followed, including parts in "Hot Shots" and "Hot Shots, Part Deux," as well as the Academy Award-nominated short, "Rainbow War." For the past nine years, he has been a regular performer on the popular British improvisational hit series, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Stiles currently serves (with Drew Carey) as an executive producer of the American version of the same show, on which he is also a regular performer. When he's not at work, Stiles spends his time thinking about work.
