Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. He appeared as Lt. John Kendrick in 'A Few Good Men', the evil Robert Doob in 'Eye For An Eye', and the Caller who kept Colin Farrell pinned inside that 'Phone Booth'.

Answer: Kiefer Sutherland

This one is actually a bit of a cheat, because although Kiefer is the son of a prominent Canadian actor, and was raised largely Canadian, he was actually born in London, England on Dec. 21, 1966. He shows a wonderful range in his abilities, but seems to excel at playing the nasty.

Answer: Mike Myers

Myers was born on May 25, 1963, in Scarborough, Ontario. He got his big break as a 'not ready for prime-time-player' on the show 'Saturday Night Live' where he spent 6 seasons.

3. She played Caroline in 'Chocolat', and Natalie in 'Memento'. She might be best known for her role of Trinity, in 'The Matrix' trilogy.

Answer: Carrie-Anne Moss

She was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on Aug. 21, 1967. She started out by doing some modeling in Europe, switching over to acting when she secured a role in the T.V. series 'Dark Justice'.

4. He's been the Riddler in 'Batman Forever', Bruce Nolan in 'Bruce Almighty', and that evil, Christmas-hating Grinch, in 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas'.

Answer: Jim Carrey

Carrey was born on Jan. 17, 1962, in Newmarket, Ontario, and he seemed to be possessed with the urge to entertain from the very beginning. He even sent off a resume to 'The Carol Burnett Show' when he was only 10 years old.

Answer: Victor Garber

Garber was born in London, Ontario on Mar. 16, 1949, where he attended my high school (although he was quite a few years ahead of me!). He got his big break playing Jesus in 'Godspell', both on stage and screen.

Answer: Mary Pickford

Born on Apr. 8, 1892 in Toronto, Ontario, Pickford made an amazing 252 movies before she retired. She died at the age of 87, of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Answer: Dan Aykroyd

This 'Saturday Night Live' alumnus was born on July 1, 1952 in Ottawa, Ontario. He attended Carleton University, majoring in Criminology and Sociology before dropping out to join the comedy troupe 'Second City'.

Answer: Michael J. Fox

Born on June 9, 1961 in Edmonton, Alberta, Fox revealed in 1998 that he suffers from Parkinson's Disease, after 7 years of keeping his condition hidden.

Answer: Margot Kidder

Born on Oct. 17, 1948 in Yellowknife, North West Territories, Kidder has struggled for much of her life with manic depression. She now spends a great deal of time acting in live theatre.

10. This handsome Canadian has played a variety of roles, including Sherlock Holmes in 'Murder by Decree', Dr. Rosen in 'A Beautiful Mind', and Captain von Trapp in 'The Sound of Music'.

Answer: Christopher Plummer

Born in Toronto, Ontario on Dec. 13, 1927, Plummer's rich voice has leant itself well to the theatre. He was honoured with the 'Companion of the Order of Canada' in 1968, which is about as close as we can get to a knighthood!
