TORONTO - Actor George Clooney says the Canadian government should do everything they can to free jailed Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy from an Egyptian prison.
His comments came at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday night.
Clooney was at the festival to promote a film he helped produce, "Our Brand Is Crisis," which deals with attempts to fix a Bolivian election.
His comments came after he was asked what Canadian politicians who are in the midst of a federal election could take from the film.
Clooney's wife, Amal Clooney, is one of Fahmy's lawyers.
Fahmy was given a three-year sentence last month after his second trial on widely denounced terror-related offences.
