I have very fond memories of that film from when I was about 5. But it makes me feel uncomfortable, now that I'm 19, and I can't look at Elias Koteas in an entirely wholesome way, yet I associate him with my childhood. Urgh.

Needless to say, good call ;)

I was looking at everybody's lists and only one person listed one of the ten great Canadian actors/actresses that came to my mind.

Bravo syxxpac and Succubus!!!

Elias Koteas is a superb actor!!

See most Canadian actors, hardly anybody knows by name. They've seen them before but don't know who the fuck they are. That's primarily because we don't have a star-system here in Canuckland. Alot of Canadian actors/actresses make movies for the love it...not so much for money.

Anywho, here's my list, some most people know, some many don't know....

Sarah Polley
Victor Garber
Elias Koteas
Sandra Oh
Molly Parker
Shirley Douglas
Callum Keith Rennie
Don McKellar
Deborah Kara Unger
Christopher Plummer

Oh and for comedians?

Mary Walsh
Rick Mercer

Both, I find hysterical, but they are both Maritimers, so maybe its just because I relate to many of their jokes.

Greenwood, Koteas and Polly. All work well in Atom Egoyan's films.

Donald Sutherlad is a long, long time fave and deserves mention as a Grand Master.

Agreed! I love Donald Sutherland to death. Can't say the same for his son, though.

I loved Jim Carrey in his dramatic roles, which are all underrated, and I love him in his hilarious roles too. Jim Carrey works on all levels for me, so Jim.

Canadians have had a huge influence on comedy in movies today. My favortie Canadian actor of all time though has to go to John Candy(RIP). Classics such as "Uncle Buck" and "Canadian Bacon" earn him his place in the memory of any movie watcher.

My God, that man seriously needs to take a break from being off the face of the planet for the past 8 years and come back. NOW.

But my true favorite, hell, probably my first...

Donald Sutherland is an undeniably terrific actor, he can do no wrong.

Kiefer Sutherland is cool as fuck and electrifying in nearly all of his roles.

Michael J. Fox too, he's always been my personal hero.

Jim Carrey is brilliant in his dramatic roles, I just hope he keeps more of them comin' instead of the 'Dumb and Dumber' and 'Me, Myself & Irene' type flicks.
