    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.

      The Canadian accent is similar to the California accent - just neutral sounding. Many Canadians do have the abrupt out and about accent, but many don't at all. I'm American and moved to Canada for college and half of my friends in Canada sound no different than the Americans I grew up with.
