Trivia At the screening of "The Headhunter's Calling" at the Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada on September 14, 2016, Gerard Butler (Dane Jensen) stated in a red-carpet interview that he had so much fun in Canada working on this project that he would absolutely love to live in Toronto again. Growing up, Butler used to spend summers as a teenager in Toronto when he worked for his father, who was divorced from his mother back across the pond, at a souvenir shop on Queen's Quay. See more »
