Michael J. Fox... The star of both 'Spin City' and 'Family Ties' is not quite dead, just Canadian.

Answer: dead

Yes folks, the poor man is most certainly dead having died at age 86 a couple days before this quiz was written.

3. Steve McQueen: you know him as 'Bullit'. Is this actor dead or Canadian?

Answer: dead

This bulletproof actor died in 1980 of a heart attack. I don't know if he was Canadian or not, but he most certainly fits the dead qualification for this quiz.

4. Next on the dead or Canadian hit parade. We have former 'Law and Order' assistant district attorney Jill Hennessey. Is this lovely lady from Canada or is she pushing up some daisies?

Much to his fans delight and his detractors dismay Corey Haim was very much Canadian. He died at the age of 38, due to an accidental overdose of presription medication.

6. Does anybody remember that awful bee girl video a few years ago? Well Shannon Hoon's band Blind Melon was responsible for it. So the question is if Shannon Hoon is dead or Canadian?
