Top 12 Canadian actors
In honor of the other national holiday in July.
12. Phil Hartman – No matter the role, Phil always brought his A-game. Never not funny, he played swarmy about as well as anyone.

11. Keanu Reeves – Maybe not the greatest thespian on the list, but probably the nicest. Ted “Theodore” Logan could make it for the first Matrix alone.

10. Sandra Oh – One of the most underrated, versatile actors in all of Hollywoodland. You want your show/film to be inherently better, just add Sandra.

9. John Candy – Another gone too soon comedian. Candy was almost a force of nature whenever he was on the screen. One of the most lovable actors of his time.

8. Rachel McAdams – Regina George is the queen bee, or boss B, of this list. She’s so much better than just the love interest.

7. Dan Levy – Dan could basically retire after giving us Schitt’s Creek. David Rose will endure as one of the classic characters of TV.

6. Michael J. Fox – The iconic 80s teenager (even though he was in his 20s). How good was he? He made Republicans cool.

5. Catherine O’Hara – A top five talent. Effortlessly funny, everyone’s favorite holiday mom can do anything.

4. Eugene Levy – A little Schitt’s Creek reunion going on. So much more than the dad in every American Pie movie, Eugene’s been doing his thing since the dawn of (SC) TV. A long time character actor is finally getting his due.

3. Ryan Gosling – And a Notebook reunion? Pound for lean pound, probably the best actor on this list. Ryan is cooler than a Saskatchewan autumn.

2. William Shatner – The only certifiable icon on this list. Was Canadian before Canadian was cool. What he lacks in acting, he makes up for in Shatness.

- Ryan Reynolds – I mean, is there another choice? As funny as anyone from the Great White North has a right to be, you add charismatic, talented, and a good person to boot? That’s just not fair to the rest of us.
