I love these Canadian celebrities and your channel is amazing!!!!

I LOVE how 2 of the people on this list are from my home town of Ottawa - Matthew Perry and Sandra Oh. Friends is my favourite show of all time and have watched it since it first aired, and I was beyond ecstatic when I first found out that Matthew Perry grew up in my home town. I’ve never watched Grey Anatomy, but I’ve always loved Sandra Oh in other things she was in. 🇨🇦 🍁 ❤️

if your american then yes you would not know they were Canadian, us Canadians know who they are lol

I wonder if Rachel has EVER played any characters who are actually Canadian, and not American?

And those are just a small portion of the great actors Canada has created, Donald and Keifer Sutherland, Christopher Plummer, Ryan Reynolds, Raymond Burr, Neve Campbell, Tommy Chong, the main cast of Schitt's Creek are all Canadian, and of course the late great John Candy. Among many others.

What About Top 10 Celebrities You Didn't Know Are Australian?

[hayleydouglas]

Eric McCormack from Will & Grace is my favourite Canadian :)

[syria]

For some reason of always been interested in Canada (and Australia for that matter) and the culture in these two countries. Two celebs I seem to always forget are Canadian are Will Arnett and Sandra Oh, two of my favorite actors. Keanu Reeves too, even though he wasn't born there.

[trixie-leestethin]

Ryan Reynolds, Dan Ackroyd,
Martin Short and Jim Carrey deserved to be on the list, not just mentioned.
Donald Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, Michael Myers,
Truthfully there are enough for a top 20 and still plenty of room for more.

[waittillfamewtf]

Guess Howie Mandal is the only Canadian to be recognized with no doubt!

[PendelSteven]

Also, I asked myself today: what is the weather in Ontario? Due to extended family living there. So yeah. I care about Canada.

What no honourable (with a "u" for Canadian) mentions? Here is my list of honourable mentions:

1) Cobie Smulders (Robin Scherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother; Marie Hill of Marvel Universe)
2) Michael Cera (Evan from Superbad; Paulie Bleeker from Juno)
3) Neve Campbell (Sidney Prescott from Scream franchise)
4) Anna Paquin ( Rogue from X-men; Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood)
5) Evangeline Lilly (Hope van Dyne from Marvel Universe; Kate Austen from Lost)

I will leave out Pamela Anderson (Baywatch), Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura), Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future), Howie Mandel (Bobby's World), Jason Priestley (90210), William Shatner (Star Trek), and Marin Short (Three Amigos!) because they should be well known as Canadian or were listed below.

In Memorium: John Candy (Planes, Trains & Automobiles) Lorne Greene (Battlestar Galactica), Leslie Nielsen (The Naked Gun), Christopher Plummer (Star Trek VI), Alan Thick (Growing Pains), Alex Trebek (Jeopardy), and Fay Wray (King Kong).

I am sure I am forgetting many other great Canadian talents.

[angelaholmes]

[rugado]

Don't forget Mary Pickford who was born in Toronto, yet she was called "America's Sweetheart"

[angelaholmes]

I already knew that Shay Mitchell was Canadian same goes for Elliott page and shawn and Aaron ashmore

Geographically the second largest country in the world. But like Australia, most of Canada is uninhabited. 90% of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. Border.
