I'm Tassie Cameron, I am the executive producer and co-creator and head writer on Rookie Blue.
The show is a cop show, set in our fair city of Toronto, and it's for Global and ABC. There
is no typical day, which is why I think I love it so much.
I studied English, I did -- I think officially it was a minor in film and a minor in French.
I am grateful for that education every day. I was one of the last groups of students to
study under Northrup Frye, and that class, those classes were unbelievable for me. The
skills that I learned -- how to break something down and analyze it and then write about or
figure out why it works and talk about it -- have been, again, invaluable for what
I do. I'm proud of everything about being an alumnus.
I get a little thrill when I go back on campus, I try and write scripts that are set on campus
so that I can go back and feel that little rush of being back at school. I think it's
one of the best places to study what I studied, certainly, in the world. And I'm proud of
the city and I'm proud -- I'm intensely proud of that university, and that I come from there.
