- Tom Cavanagh (The bowling alley lawyer we all know as Ed.)
- James Cameron ("I'm the king of the world!" would be quite different without him.)

nice! i loved the commentary beside the names especially the Victor Garber one (cuz it was SO true. i was like who?? click on pic. ohhhh him). there were a few ppl on your list who I didn't know were Canadian either.
by the way, here's this funny clip of Jim Carrey on the Ellen show, where he explains the use of the word "bush" instead of "forest" in Cdn lingo (fast forward to 5:30):

I didn't know some of those people were Canadian!
By the way, three periods in hockey is totally symmetrical (not that symmetry should be the measure of a sport's validity, but anyways). Starting period, middle period, ending period. It's perfectly mirrored from the mid point of the middle period. How is that not symmetrical? :P

Hmmmmm... interesting, I did not know all those people are from Canada!
