It's amazing what you sometimes learn just by listening to the radio. Kelly Cutrara had Global meteorologist Ross Hull on her show Friday, talking about the weekend forecast. In the course of that conversation, details of Hull's past came up and he talked about how he used to be an actor as a kid. 

Hull was probably most famous as "Gary" in the series "Are You Afraid Of The Dark," although he certainly didn't have the beard and moustache back then. It ran on Nickelodeon in the U.S. and YTV here from 1992-1996.

He also appeared on Stargate: Atlantis in 2014 and was in 65 episodes of "Student Bodies," a show about a high school and its newspaper that ran from 1997-1999. Here's the list of credits on his IMDB page.

It's not immediately clear how he went from being a star to predicting if you'd be able to see the stars, but it's a part of his past that - while definitely not hidden - I'd personally never heard of before. He got his meteorology degree from a university in Mississippi and graduated RTA at the former Ryerson in Toronto.
