Canadians are so similar to Americans that it makes complete sense that most American movie viewers have absolutely no idea what actors are from Canada, but that does not stop us from being completely shocked when we find out. I am very interested to react and learn about this list of famous Canadian celebrities, most of whom I probably assumed were American. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Hmm I'm Canadian and I have no idea who Shay Mitchell is. There a lot of people that should have been on this list: William Shatner, James Doohan, Michael J. Fox, Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Graham Greene, Bruce Greenwood, Ryan Reynolds, Christopher Plummer, Margot Kidder, Neve Campbell, Tricia Helfer, Cobie Smulders, etc...
How they could overlook friggin' Captain Kirk is beyond me.
Shay Mitchell instead of Ryan Reynolds? WTF
Most people know those are Canadians???
@@joannahampton5979 wth???…everyone knows he’s Canadian…
It's supposed to be celebrities most others don't realize are Canadians, not the people everyone already knows are Canadian. Read the title.
Keanu Reeves is not only Canadian, he's also one of the best Human Beings on Earth :)
Found out not to long ago that when Keanu Reeves was a teenager in Toronto our city's hockey team wanted Keanu to play for them but unfortunately he turned them down.
100 percent.
@@debbie5859 I think he suffered an injury of some kind
Isn’t his mum British.
@@kimarnill7648 his mother's British, his father's Hawaiian, he was born in Beirut and ended up in Toronto I think he was seven or eight and moved from Toronto to the states I think he was around nineteen or twenty.
As a 60 year old Canadian I can say the following; Milk in a bag is a thing in like one province. I have never heard anyone say aboot in my 60 years on this planet, and we say sOrry, not sarry. Friends was big in Canada as were a lot of other American TV shows.
Reeves is a real class act. When he made it huge with The Matrix, he had another gig booked to play Shakesphere in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, and like a true son he came here and fulfulled his obligation while many other people would have cancelled their gig in a small market Canadian city. Classy guy. I'd love to meet him.
You mentioned the term America's Sweetheart. That term was first used to describe an actress from Canada from over 100 years ago. Her name was Mary Pickford. She was very instrumental in the forming of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences as well as a founding member of United Artists.
Good memory Mark. Her Beverly Hills home is the iconic PickFair Estate. Must be worth $100 million by now.
Lorne Michaels, the creator of Saturday Night Live is Canadian and as a result many of the most iconic comedians that came from that show were also Canadian: Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, Norm MacDonald, Mark McKinney, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara to name a few.
Jim Carrey
I did not know Lorne Michaels was Canadian. Even Canadian might not know such and such big star, or people who reach the top of their field in the United States are Canadians. Which makes this list so hard to make. You might know which star is famous AND Canadian but how do you know they're NOT known to be Canadian? Very interesting
Lorne Michaels was also a writer on Laugh-in in the 1960s which was ground-breaking TV. His ex-wife Rosie Shuster was daughter of Frank Shuster (of comedy duo Wayne and Shuster who held the record for number of appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show). Rosie was one of the original SNL writers, and was also a laugh-in writer. Lorne had a Canadian TV show called the Hart and Lorne Terrific Hour (with Hart Pomerantz). It was excellent, here's a snippet: czcams.com/video/4gXQAt8VBbs/video.html
@@billdaverne9389 - I remember Wayne and Shuster appearing on Ed Sullivan. Seemed like they were on every show.
Let’s not forget Mark McKinney’s cohorts, Scott Thompson, Bruce McCulloch, and Dave Foley in the CBC series, Kids In The Hall, also produced by Lorne Michaels.
As a Canadian, I have a feeling that American education in most things is restricted to things “American”, rather than learning about anything or anyone else. You have touched lightly upon Canadians’ contribution to American Culture, so that’s better than nothing. Cheers!
I agree... while i must admit I still find the general lack of global awareness in the average US citizen appalling, I do appreciate the effort this guy makes to expand his horizons.
More than a feeling. I have several American friends and relatives. Not only are they insulated from the rest of the world, but there is a decided slant to the info they do have

Actually in many ways we don't sound the same as Americans. For example, compare the way most American pronounce house, blouse and roof with the way Canadians do. I've also found most Americans have no idea of the Canadian system of government.
Being from United States and living in many places in United States the guy that is making these videos is not the the typical person here in the United States. I think it's obvious that if you do not live in a country you're not going to know as much as a resident of the country but every place that I have lived here in the United States has been very informational and very educational on especially our surrounding countries like Canada and Mexico. I watch this guy's videos just because it's absolutely shocking to me that he doesn't know these things about Canada when they are taught in most schools and Educational Systems here in the United States. I would actually be curious on what part of the United States He Lives and would be curious on his perspective of just the different states in the United States and if he realizes that there's a diverse group of people in history just in the states alone. I have a feeling that he's very uneducated about anything outside of his immediate surroundings.
Everytime Celine Dion appears for Switzerland in the ESC 1988, people ask if she is from Switzerland. No, she is from Canada, and just so happened to be chosen for the Eurovision. She won it at just 20 years of age, starting her huge career through the 90s, peaking with "My Heart will go on".
You may have noticed that this list focused on actors? The only acting Celine has done was trying to pretend that her daddy issues marriage was normal.
@@TheManInTheRing Yeah, she is canadian. I edited the text.
Hi Tyler, I am a Canadian and I am really enjoying your videos! Thank you for having the interest and taking the time to learn and share information about Canada! Here in Nova Scotia our entire eighth grade geography used to be about the United Sates! As part of that, we had to learn how to label all of the states as well as their capitals on a map! While I've always been thankful for that knowledge, I must confess, I couldn't do it now! lol Keep up the great work and come visit us sometime!
I would have to say YES, most Canadians are fully aware of how Americans and the world see us. We are self aware and not afraid to point out our shortcomings. We are just as patriotic as Americans, just a lot quieter about it unless we are challenged on it or someone says that Canadians are the same as Americans. We are similar in SOME respects to the USA, but our differences are miles apart. There is a reason why so many American travelers sew a Canadian flag patch onto back packs ;)
Wearing a maple leaf pin when traveling almost anywhere in the world will not only ensure people know you are Canadian, it often gets you a very warm welcome -- not always the case for American travellers.
For the love of God NEVER EVER tell a Canadian that we are just like Americans. We're not. Hell no dude!!!!
As a fellow Canadian, I absolutely agree, and very well said...
I find Canadians are easier to hang out and chill with. But Americans act strange when they're drinking. They're quickly startled, annoyed and sometimes obnoxious. Not all, some.
Wonderful reply. Perfectly said.
I was surprised Ryan Reynolds wasn't on the list. Talk about an A-list celebrity (and helluva nice guy!) who happens to be Canadian! 😃🇨🇦
Everyone knows he's Canadian. Except Tyler who has confused him with Ryan Gosling.
along with drake and the weeknd, but i guess they were sticking with actors
@@tanbir11 drake was in the intro. There are so many Comedian, Actors and Musicians, they all can’t go on the list
theres a few others missing too.
yea me too
As Canadians we know we apologize too much, it's why they've literally passed a law that someone saying "I'm sorry" isn't an admission of guilt 😂
There are SO many other Canadian celebrities that could've been on here too.
mississauga is hell hole place in canada, full of Inidan, they are ugly and they stupid. people call this place Bangloudesh. it is a third world hell hole. I work there, unfortuntely. you go to office, you see a lot of inidian faces, they are dark, they are ugly.
If you’d like to watch an amazing Canadian show with all Canadian actors, I highly recommend that you watch Schitt’s Creek!
Except for Chris Elliott, who played the mayor. Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Chris Elliott started in a lot of skit comedy shows together.
Fully agree,
I never watched the new generation of Degrassi, but I’ve found the fist series from the 80’s the best. And laughed at how big they made a “hit” of LSD look in one episode. They talked about real world problems, teenage pregnancy along with a ton of other great episodes
I love the labeling of Mean Girls as an ‘iconic film in America’. It’s definitely a true statement, but it was filmed in Toronto and half of my high school was cast as extras. Watching that movie is like looking through my high school yearbook lol
Paid or non-paid extra work?
@@amazingdany paid extras. I went to an arts high school so it was a bunch of kids from the drama department and a few from dance
Keanu embodies and represents everything good about Canada, I think he should be a life time ambassador for us.
He was born in Lebanon..he wasnt born in Canada!
@@mypronouniswtf5559 I know that, it doesn't make my statement any less true, and he holds Canadian citizenship.
Shaun Ashmore starred as the title character in "Terry," a 2005 film about Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. His portrayal of our Canadian hero is the ONLY film I always think of when I remember him.
Matthew Perry was Canadian, he was so amazing and funny and he was so strong and faught against his addiction. RIP Matthew
That's a short list. How did Ryan Reynolds, John Candy, William Shatner, Kim Cantrell, Martin Short, Drake, Bieber, Michael J Fox , Jason Priestly, Shania Twain and so many more get left out?
It's because Americans know most of those on your list are Canadian. Kim is the only one I didn't know, but I'm not surprised. But I also knew most of the ones above, including Fillion--Edmonton, I believe, right?. I thought he was great way back in Two Guys, a Girl and A Pizza Place--a show which also introduced me to Ryan Reynolds. We know Alanis is Canadian as well as Nelly Furtado and The Weeknd as well as Lorne Michaels, etc... Keanu is going to surprise people but being his Dad was from the U.S., Americans will know some of the U.S. culture and specifically the Hawaiian culture would likely have been taught from father to son. I just wish people would stop judging Americans by jack ass Americans. We don't like them either. "You don't choose your family." or the other citizens in your country.
Also Michael cera
Get Drake and Bieber out of there. Embarrassments...even though Drake has a good tattoo artist because I got one from his main guy by random chance.
beeeeeecauuuuuuse it's a short list (10 people you didn't know...is kind of a giveaway)/ That's why they also forgot the rest of the cast of SCTV, Jerry O'Connell, Brendan Fraser and the Sutherlands and a couple hundred others.
Here's one I'm surprised she didn't add, Kiefer Sutherland. His grandfather, Tommy Douglas, is one of the most famous Canadian's and a Canadian hero; he's known as the father of healthcare. He was also the Premier of Saskatchewan. You should look him up.
His father Donald Sutherland would be considered far more famous.
And Kiefer has a twin sister….
Like I said in a different comment section, maybe everybody knows he is Canadian? Hard to come up with a list of A-list stars that people DON'T know are Canadians. Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, and so much more, are huge star, but do people not know they are Canadians? The list mentionned Ryan G, but not Ryan R, maybe everyone knows Reynolds is Canadian? IDN
@@ravenstormchild6491 he does!! I gotta look that up now.
Soon dental & pharma!!
James Cameron is Canadian. He comes from the northern Ontario town of Kapuskasing.
Then there's Shania Twain who additionally came from northern Ontario.
Also, an actor that is lesser known today by the younger generation is Alan Thicke, who stared in the series "Growing Pains". Alan came from Kirkland Lake in, you guessed it, northern Ontario.
Just a few tidbits: from my front door I can see the house where Shania Twain lived. As a matter of fact her step-father Jerry Twain bought the house from my grandfather. And from my back door I can see Justin Bieber's great-grandmother's house. I've known Justin's great-grandmother all my life. Justin's maternal grandmother once came to my door thinking the previous owners still lived here. She told me she used to babysit in my house. I still remember when Justin's grandmother was married. It's a small, small world!
I found it interesting when we were in Cuba they were playing Shania Twain music at our resort and the Cubans loved it. 💖
As well as the celebrates shown below by Patrick, we should also include some singers such as: Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Drake, Terry Clark, Ann Murray, & Gordon Lightfoot.
Also, Mary Pickford, known as America's sweetheart, back in the silent film era was Canadian
Also Fay Wray of King Kong fame - born in a little town called Cardston in Southern Alberta.
There is almost nobody alive who could remember her final film performance in 1930.
Also Raymond Burr, New Westminster, B.C.
Deanna Durban Canadian. Peace and Love from Canada
Rebecca, the announcer in the video is describing Canadians and the use of "eh?" because she is a Canadian, in fact the whole Watchmojo video franchise is Canadian. Canadians have been a part of Hollywood from Mary Pickford to Ryan Reynolds, Michael J. Fox to Kiefer Sutherland and his Dad, Donald Sutherland. William Shatner, Christopher Plumber, Lorne Michaels, Evangeline Lily, Pamela Anderson, Catherine Ohara, Elisha Cuthbert, Carrie-Anne Moss, Mike Myers, Michael Cera, Will Arnett, Danny Aykroyd, Hayden Christensen, Martin Short, John Candy, Leslie Nielsen, Nina Dobrev, Rae Dawn Chong, Natasha Henstridge, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Jennifer Tilly, Sarah Polley, Sarah Chalke, Meg Tilly, Phil Hartman, Raymond Burr, Finn Wolfhard, Kim Cattrall, Jason Priestly, Brendon Fraser, Tommy Chong, Corey Haim, Anna Paquin and many, many more. Basically, Canada OWNS Hollywood!,....Sorry eh?
Don't forget the founder of Warner Brothers, Jack Warner (born in London, Ontario) and Hollywood pioneer Mack Sennett
@@pizzaman191 Yup, like I said, Canada OWNS Hollywood!!
Very extensive list you gave here, much better than what was shown on Watch Mojo. One addition everyone seems to have missed: Celine Dion, a megastar, sold more than 200 million records the world over, she is worth $820 million on Forbes list as of 2022. She was the last of a family of 14 children, born in a modest subburb of Montréal in 1968.
You missed Leslie Neilson
That's a nice and thorough list!
I just came across your series; I watched your review of the I am Canadian Molson ad campaign, Tragically Hip profile and now this. Watching you learn about Canadian culture is like watching a child learn and grow - it's enjoyable, scary (you might regress for some unknown reason), but mostly wishing the maturity could be spread all across your nation. Yes, we Canadians are the adults in the room. I might regret saying that, but not yet.
I love your channel and the way you try to make sense of everything you see! Methinks there is a writer inside you trying to get out! ❤
Smarties in Canada are not the same thing as the ones in the US, our smarties are sorta like M&Ms; chocolate with a coloured candy shell. They taste a little different and are flatter.
What Americans know as Smarties is marketted in Canada as Rockets and they really only come around for Halloween, don't really see them year-long.
Smarties are not rockets at all. They are sold all year on every candy shelf here in Canada. I think you're confused.
ha! good to know
And US Smarties are made in Canada, bought a bag one time and then read the back of the bag. I will eat Nestlé Smarties but not chalk candies like Rockets.
I came to write the same thing. I'll add Smarties have a thicker candy shell than M&M's do. Rockets can sometimes be found in the bulk foods section - but I can't imagine who buys them when it's not October.
No, you can buy rockets all year round. I work in a grocery store and we sell a big bag of them in the candy aisle. It’s been in roughly the same space for at least the 5 years I’ve worked there.
One addition everyone seems to have missed: Celine Dion, a megastar, sold more than 200 million records the world over, she is worth $820 million on Forbes list as of 2022. She was the last of a family of 14 children, born in a modest subburb of Montréal in 1968.
They didn't miss it. Everybody knows Céline Dion is French Canadian. Lol
@@A_Foolish_Arrangement and everyone agrees the USA can keep her.
Nathan Fillion's best tv show was and always will be Firefly. He also played in the funny horror movie Slithers.
I really enjoy the video and learning more about Canada
One of the reasons so many Canadians end up becoming well-known American Stars is that so many American TV shows and movies are filmed in Canada. You'd be amazed to learn how many really popular films and shows are all made here with Canadian talent.
Exactly, I love recognizing bits of Vancouver or Toronto in Hollywood films. I remember the Police Academy series and feeling so proud that my city was used for that.
Actually Canadian comedic actors were super successful en masse in the US well before the film industry took off in either Vancouver or Toronto.
➡️Think Martin Short, Leslie Nielsen, Norm McDonald, Mike Myers, Dan Akroyd, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy, Rick Moranis..
@@FayolaOnline Tons of films take place in Alberta too. Remember RV with Robin Williams? Apart from various BC locations, it was shot in Rainier, Lethbridge, Kananaskis Country, and Milk River-all of which are in Alberta.
The Revenant with Leo DiCaprio was shot mostly in Kananaskis, with some shots taking place in Calgary, Canmore, and Drumheller.
I remember my dad coming home and saying that he had a crew create a mess in a downtown Toronto location, so that it would look like a particular US city. When it was done and he was informed, the crew went with the actors to film but, in the short time between, the city had come and cleaned it all up. So they had to waste money waiting while the set was re -messed up. I doubt that would happen now.
Going back in history, the women who won the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Oscar for best actress were all Canadians: Mary Pickford, Norma Shearer and Marie Dressler, not to mention Yvonne Decarlo in the Munsters and Raymond Burr…
Ruby Keeler was another early Hollywood star.
Other comments cover many more, but to add a few: Denny Doherty (Mamas and Papas, David Clayton Thomas (Blood Sweat & Tears), Steppenwolf, The Band, Gino Vanelli, Andy Kim (wrote Sugar Sugar), Colin Ferguson (Eureka), Elon Musk (mother from Saskatchewan). One irony, the inventor of American cheese (Kraft slices) is JL Kraft of Stevensville Ontario, And the first American football game was played between the Mcgill Redmen (Montreal QC and the Harvard Crimson Cambridge MA) in Cambridge in May 1874. The amount of crossover is amazing.
For you gamers in here, Warframe is made by a Canadian company, Digital Extremes. :) They’re based in London, Ontario, Canada, two hours from Toronto . And uh though I’m not gonna admit, Tom Cruise spent part of his childhood in Ottawa, Canada. His father worked for the Canadian military. Oh! James Cameron is Canadian as well. Guy who made Terminator, Alien, Titanic and lately, Avatar.
I think what Tyler is discovering, is that American comedy is actually Canadian. We're a funny bunch up here.
And Canadian comedy s actually British comedy
@@orangewhipster Similar, but not the same.
@@jasonarthurs3885 Agreed, but a lot of Canadian actors in the US still have to deal with American writers, so I don't think American comedy is quite Canadian either. ;)
@@orangewhipster Agreed; American comedy is entirely different than Canadian or British humour.
F'ing eh!
What you call Smarties we in Canada call Rockets, and Smarties are hard shelled chocolate candy
i was just about to say that
We have Candies that are called “Rockets” but it’s those hard, tastes like chalk candy you get at Halloween. Try to convince an America that we have “Rockets” here in Canada too.
@@80sCanadian wrong,, We have chocolate covered Smarties in the US during Halloween Season
Yes as a Canadian we are proud of our actors and singers.
You have no idea how sweet it is for us to see you so curious and wanting to know more about Canada 😍 for decades, as a French-canadian each year summer vacationing everywhere on the east coast, Americans were not always that nice, especially teens. We were made the butt of the joke always, snobbed, intimidated and bullied, laughed at, ridiculed, especially us with our English accent.. Great places, but most of the time I came back home after 2-3 weeks feeling like shit honestly.
And today, to see young people like show genuine interest in getting to know us, in what we do, etc, is very heart warming 🥰.
There's been quite a lot of Canadian actors thats been an icon to most Americans growing up like Mike Myers, and cant forget the late great John Candy, and McCully Culkin's mother in Home Alone was played by Catherine O'Hara also from (Schitt's Creek) with Eugene Levy. Martin Short is also Canadian....so many funny people..the reason for this is probably Lorne Michaels a Canadian also..and is the producer of Saturday Night Live.
Isn’t Hillary Duff & the Olsen twins Canadian
Canadians are co-anchors on USA cable news networks, GMA-ABC, NBC- Dateline, 60 minutes, and many top game shows were Canadian hosts, Monty Hall, Alec Trebek. MUSIC artists are singing or producing a large amount of the top 100. Shawn Mendes, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, The Weekend, are Canadian. Half of the NETFLIX production happens in BC CANADA 23 films or TV projects are in the process on any day in BC. And don;t forget "the Property Brothers" Drew and Jonathan.
Almost all CW shows are filmed in BC too 😀
Hi Tyler, im fron Ontario Canada and i just love your reactions.... i find it so refreshing to see someone from the isa take the time to actually learn about Canada and be honest in thwir lack of knowledge and be eager to learb... you asled in this one about tv shows... Camada gets all of the major network shows... and some the series that are only ob hulu, hbo max,
It really depends on if there is a canadian distribution on one one of the canada only channels or od we pick up the feed from cbs, nbc, fox, etc
Paul Anka, Brian Adams, the late Alex Trebek, the late John Candy, Martin Short, any many more.
There are lots more Kiefer Sutherland, his father, Donald Sutherland, Jason Priestly, John Candy, Lorne Greene (Bonanza), Ryan Reynolds, Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, James Doohan, Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Christopher Plummer, Will Arnett, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Bruce Greenwood, Kim Cattrall, Brendan Fraser, Tommy Chong, Raymond Burr ... and many more
Oh man I forgot that Tommy Chong was from this country!
About Kiefer Sutherland… His maternal grandfather was Scottish-born Canadian politician and former Premier of Saskatchewan Tommy Douglas, who is widely credited for bringing universal health care to Canada.
Yes, Kim Cattrall grew up in Courtenay (near Comox, where Pamela Anderson grew up, but born in Ladysmith) but was born in Liverpool, England and moved at a young age. Damn good thing or she would sound like one of the Beetles, otherwise, instead of speaking the generically difficult to identify Vancouver Island Dialect. (Which, BTW I speak)
Sounds like a lot of huge celebrities were missing!
@@qualicumwilson5168 Beatles, not Beetles...
You are so freaking sweet. As a 61 year old Canadian, I find your videos refreshing, and uplifting. Your delivery is epic. Just an average American? We’d like to see more of you. You have such a lovely personality. Your humility, and candor are two traits that Canadians, generally, admire greatly. Such a nice person. Peace ✌🏼 out, “Brother from another Mother.” 🇺🇸

Nanoose Bay BC {Vancouver Island}
🇨🇦 The Great White North 🤦🏼♂️
PS Surfing is a thing here. Who knew? Check out Tofino and Uculet. (Don’t tell too many people 🤣🌺)
I am also 61 years old and yes I agree that Tyler is a very sweet open minded American. I've watched several of his videos about comparing Canada to the US and I love them all. If he ever comes to this part of Canada he is always welcome to stay in my spare room where I can show him some Canadian hospitality and some great Canadian cuisine. I'm just around the corner from you Lokilani... I live in Nanaimo as a painting contractor. I have painted many homes inside and out in Nanoose Bay.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us :)
Great job bro. Great video !!
As a Canadian, I'm really glad you do these videos.
If you hire Canadian actors, and shoot a bit in Canada, you get through our broadcasting laws. So most productions will try to find something Canada to be able to assure they can participate in the Canadian market. There is a reason that Vancouver is called Hollywood north, because so many things are filmed here, and for good reason too, you have like 10 different types of shooting locations all within a few hour drive. Plus its usually cheaper to film here. If you're watching a hallmark Christmas movie, like 60% of them are shot in fort Langley, its basically become the iconic Average American town. If a movie is in New York its usually shot in Toronto, if it takes place in a generic American city its most likely Vancouver. Its a fun game my family plays to spot the location of something, sometimes Ill just be watching a movie and be like oh thats just down the street from my friends house.
This also boosts Canadian actors because its easier hiring citizens then getting work visas for your crew.
So true! You can do city scenes in Vancouver (or the other cities in the Lower Mainland) Deep forest scenes (anywhere in the Cascades) then drive out a few hours to the Okanagan and film desert scenes. BC is pretty great for locations. We have had films shot in the Kootenays too but, honestly, most of them are ski films because of the world class powder in our mountains out here.
I would say that at least 50% or more of Hallmark movies are filmed on Vancouver Island & I know about that from my nephew’s ex who works as a film crew member on these movies, a lot are filmed in our home town of Victoria, but she also travels the rest of the island for work as well. We are lucky that she lets us know when they are filming & also when the shows are about to air, which some new ones for the Christmas season will be dropping soon😁❤️
@@jeannierenton7542 I didn’t see as many film crews when I lived in Victoria as I did living in Vancouver but they have amped up the industry on VI since I lived there. I know that the first X-men did a lot of filming in Victoria
One of my favourite locations that comes up a lot is the Vancouver Art gallery. Those stairs have filled in for various city halls so many times I can't even count. Which always gives me a good laugh. It takes me back to when I worked as a bike messenger there. That's where we'd all hang out and smoke weed.
Another favourite of mine is the Handmaid's Tale. I mean the parts set in Toronto are obviously shot in Toronto. Buy they also filmed the flashback parts set in Boston there. In my old neighbourhood . Kind of weird seeing your favourite coffee shop being a setting in a dystopian hellscape. I hope the baristas are oK! They were nice and made a really fine mocha.
"Are Canadians very aware of American stereotypes of Canadians?"
You need to watch Bob and Doug McKenzie for the answer to that.
Tyler, I think you are so funny! Love that you're so interested in our Canadian culture! Plus, with every video, your witty personality makes for great binge-watching!!! Its funny AF at the same time, too...."EH!" Hahahahaha So, love the channel, and your awesome POV! Sooo glad I found this channel! But for this list, the channel you watched did NOT do it justice!!! For example, plz read the comment underneath mine! Lol! 😃
Thanx! 🤣🤷♀️💞👍😂
We watch a lot of US tv in Canada,so we are quite aware of the steriotypes.
Doohan (Scotty in the original Star Trek) is a Canadian war hero, and stormed the Normandy beaches in the Second World War.
Surprised Eugine Levy was not on the list.
Doohan lost 3 fingers on that landing , became a toronto newsman and covered the Avra Arrow story
Nice to know. Also, Leonard Cohen is from Montreal.
@@xminusone1 is he though ? or was he from westmount ? like Shattner
Everyone knows Schitt's Creek is a Canadian show, and everyone on it is Canadian. And if they know him from SCTV, they know that's Canadian too. The list is supposed to be people you didn't know. That's why they mentioned Jim Carrey, but he's not on the list. Most people know he's Canadian.
If you haven’t seen Firefly, you are seriously missing out! Based on your sense of humour, I really think you’d love it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It’s usually streaming somewhere, but if you can’t find it there, do yourself a solid and buy the dvds.
I LOVE LOVE Firefly, but each time I watch the show and then the movie, it rips my heart out because it's so unfair it was cancelled. It's the only show I have had that reaction for.
8:43 He also plays the cheesy weatherman on “Modern Family” “Rainer shine” lol
I would love to see you react to some Canadian TV shows.
The Weeknd, Drake, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Neil Young, Rush, Three Days Grace and Finger Eleven are some more Canadian bands and artists I can think of off the top of my head.
avril levegne (sp) a bunch of comedians
Unleach the archers
The Guess Who, BTO, Triumph, April Wine. All popular, but likely before you were born.
You forgot Rush
Being old when I think of the great singer songwriters from Canada like Joanie Mitchell, Niall Young and Ian Tyson
Matthew Perry went to my high school, apparently, at the same time I was there.
You'd be surprised at how many other famous ones are from Canada, hundreds.
Nathan Fillion played one of the several adult versions of Joey Buchanan on the soap opera One Life to Live. He later went on to star in Firefly and its later movie, called Serenity.
Firefly is a mashup of science fiction and western, combining adventure, war, occasionally campy humor, creepy SF, and social commentary. They did all that in less than two dozen episodes.
Fun fact: Somebody wrote a fanfic story combining Firefly and Downton Abbey. It's bizarre, but it works.
And he was in Dr. Horrible!
I'm Canadian and enjoying the surprise look on your face when you hear the names of mega stars from your north. Great video.👍
Firefly is the quintessential Space cowboy show, it's incredible but was sadly canceled after its only season. It does have a movie though, which wraps things up in a nice way. Also my aunt was best friends with Nathan Fillian when they were kids, he was a scrawny, lanky kid that would come over to our family house all the time.
Wow that's amazing. Also sounds like a show I would watch actually!
@@TylerBucketCZcams it's a great show! Highly recommended.
Firefly was great! Show was better than the movie but at least they wrapped up the story. I know so many people who wish Firefly would get a reboot.
@@TylerBucketCZcams just so you know, the movie of firefly is called serenity, not firefly.
@@TylerBucketCZcams You really should. It will literally turn your coat brown (you'll get it eventually).
Im a Canadian. I say Saw-rie, not Sore-rie. And literally NO ONE in Canada says aboot. We say about like everyone else
I dunno, check out JJ McCulloch's channel, he says "aboot" all the time...which surprises me because he's from BC and I have lived in BC my whole life and never heard anyone else do that...but he does! Strange. Also, out here in BC most people I know say it "Sore-rie"
'Aboot' is more of an East coast thing.
@@clarissathompson I was just saying "I" dont say sore-ie but most Canadians say it. As for that guy. Im sure hes just doing it for fun. But Ill check him out for sure. What kind of content does he do?
@@clarissathompson jj mculloch is putting it on - It can get really irritating
I'm also Canadian and have always said Sore-ee, as for aboot, I wish NO ONE in Canada said that but most of the heavy accented Newfie's I've met don't say "about" like most of us here in the West, it sounds like "aboot".
Hi Tyler, congrats on your curiousity about Canada. So refreshing. I'm a Canuçk who sang in a black gospel choir out of southern Washington State. I was shocked that they referred to me as an Arcadian:). The two Ryans, Gosling and Reynolds, along with Keanu and Michael J Fox are my favourites. And Shawn Mendes--so darn cute and humble. Here's a helpful tip to suss out the "hidden Canadians". Watch any interview they do; if it's loaded with self-deprecating humour, you've likely unearthed a Canadian! Keep up your good work. We love that you're making an effort!
I recently found your channel, and am enjoying catching up on the older videos. Lots of comments here, but here's something that might not have been mentioned.
"The Rookie" actually has three stars that are Canadian. Nathan Fillion, one of the Ashmore brothers, and Melissa O'Neill, who was the Canadian Idol singer in Season 3. Fillion, who's a producer on Rookie, tends to adopt other Canadians, as he did on "Castle", where his female co-star, was Canadian.
One of the most important Canadians in entertainment, responsible for so many American and Canadian comics and comedies being made (some were even good), is Lorne Michaels, the creator and still producer of SNL.
I really like the way you approach learning about things you don't/didn't know. More people, everywhere, should be curious, open and respectful, as you are.
I'm a Canadian who's constantly suprised to learn that a celebrity is Canadian. Latest one for me (before seeing this video) was Carrie-Anne Moss
They forgot the other Canadian Ryan, Ryan Reynolds. I'm shocked... Isn't he bigger than Gosling? Or maybe it's just that people already know Reynolds is a Canuck?... Thanks Ty ler!
Someone who is always left off these lists and who has been extremely influential in the American film and TV industry is Lorne Michaels. He created SNL and discovered countless comedians for decades that we all know and love. It was his idea to have Conan O'Brien replace David Letterman when Conan was a writer for SNL and then the Simpsons. Conan had never been on TV for longer than a few minutes before 😂 Lorne's Canadian influence on American pop culture has been truly incredible.
This is a great video! I just recently discovered your channel and have watched a few episodes already and am looking forward to watching more. You should review a video on Joseph Debenedictis’ channel. He does lots of Canada vs. US stuff like candies (I’m saying this because you talked about Smarties - and yes, they are different here in Canada than they are in the US).
I'm obsessed with your videos atm...LOL...been watching them all! Even as a Canadian, I've been learning alongside you. Thanks for taking the time to learn about Canada and being so open-minded. Always glad to help out :)
Yes, I'm Canadian and have been learning some things as well. Each province is a little different so keep up the good work.
Also you should watch “Canada Loves You Back” a song written for Ryan Reynolds when he won a Governor General's Performing Arts Awards (he’s also Canadian) - it’s got a lot of inside Canadian jokes, but I’d be interested to see your take on it.
Lorne Greene from Battlestar Galactica 1978, Rick Moranis, Dan Ackroyd, Martin Short.
and CANADIAN!! god thank you for doing these videos bud you're one of a kind kinda American it's truly appreciated
If you can find it, there was a tv special called the Canadian Conspiracy, done by Eugene Levy, a humorous look at Canadian's who made it big in the States. One other not mentioned,although not an actor, Lorne Michaels of SNL fame
Is that the one where they ask Anne Murray about playing ‘snowbird’ backwards? Super funny
Ketchup chips are the best chips ever created, especially the Old Dutch brand.
I've always felt a connection to Nathan Fillion, we're both from Edmonton and also share the same birthday! Love The Rookie too such a great show.
Dude, I love your work in 'It's always Sunny in Philadelphia'
Yes, many American TV shows air in Canada at the same time, it is called simulcast where a Canadian TV channel airs the show at the same time as the US channel.
A lot of movies are filmed in Canada. I live in Toronto and I run into a movie set at least once every 2-3 months.
The same on Vancouver Island
Tyler do you have a lot of followers in America with this presentation?
Hollywood got rolling with Canadian talent. Max Sennett born in Quebec, moved to the states at 17. Was a vaudeville actor in New Work. Started the Keystone studios in LA that had the first enclosed studio sound stage in the area that produced comedy shorts with just about every known silent film star.
Tyler thank you for making this videos I must say I'm a very proud Canadian this is I'm sure you are very proud American but I really appreciate the effort you are making and yes I know the stereotypes that Americans feel about Canadians hopefully we can change that
It could have been a top 20 or 30 list. The first I know of was silent movie star Mary Pickford, known as America's Sweetheart, who was born in Toronto.
They missed out so many more ie John Candy, Ryan Reynolds,William Shatner, Christopher Plummer ❤️🇨🇦
Raymond Massey, Lorne Greene, Robert Goulet....
The title is "Celebrities You Didn't Know Are Canadian". I think the majority of people knew the people you listed are Canadian
Two out of the four you named are dead, and one has one foot in the grave. The video he watched was for a MUCH younger audience.
Michael J fox, Pam Anderson
Dan Aykroyd is Canadian
I went to high school with Nathan Fillion and his brother Jeff. His mom was my english teacher. I partied with him a lot. They missed John Candy, Ryan Reynolds.
Candy went to my high school :)
Enjoy your videos!!
Nathan Filion and Shawn Ashmore play on The Rookie as does Melissa O'Neil ( Officer Lucy Chen ). Melissa was the youngest and first female winner of Canadian Idol. She did a lot of Broadway theatre before staring in The Rookie with her fellow Canadians.
Tyler, your channel is great! So real and unbiased, nice to have a fresh honest view…keep up the videos.
He's also uniformed about his own country.
Canadian Smarties are similar to candy coated M&Ms, but better.
I agree with the last comment. You should also see I'm not crying video about Ryan Reynolds...and I song by Tim hicks called stronger beer.
Loved Firefly, bloody brilliant.
Missed a few other Canadian celebs, Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland, William Shatner, Hayden Christensen, Finn Wolfhard, Stephen Amell, Joshua Jackson, Michael Cera, Victor Garber, Anna Paquin(born in Winnipeg Man., but is a New Zealand Citizen because her Mother is from NZ, dad is Canadian), Neve Campbell
AFAIK where you are born is your citizenship. Born in Winnipeg, means Canadian. She would have to apply to get NZ citizenship. The heritage usually follows the father. If you pay attention to British royalty, you would know this is the way it is.
@@bunzeebear2973 All her info says she is New Zealand Citizenship, not Canadian. I understand at birth she is considered Canadian, but she identifies as a New Zealand Citizen on her info.
A lot of the "breakout" roles in movies and shows like Mean Girls, Umbrella Academy, X Men (OG), were filmed in Canada.
Really like your positive energy! You may be surprised just how many top funny actors are Canadian John Candy, Dan Ackroyd and Leslie Nelson, just to name a few more. Thx again. 🥳🇨🇦🥳
I never watched the new generation of Degrassi, but I’ve found the fist series from the 80’s the best. And laughed at how big they made a “hit” of LSD look in one episode. They talked about real world problems, teenage pregnancy along with a ton of other great episodes
Tyler. I am proud to be Canadian and love your content.
They missed Ryan Reynolds, Celine Dion, Pamela Anderson , Micheal Cera, Avril Lavigne, Micheal J Fox and many more!
Stay safe, stay sane, stay Strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
It’s not a list of famous Canadians it’s a list of famous people that people (Americans mostly) don’t know are Canadian.
A.J. Cook. Plays JJ in Criminal Minds.
America's Sweetheart, Mary Pickford (1892-1979) who with her husband Douglas Fairbanks helped found United Artists studio was born in Toronto, Ontario.
of course if you go back a few years there is John Candy, Dan Akroyd( a great movie about our Avro Arrow and how it was killed because of pressure from the USA-you might enjoy that info), Lorne Greene the Bonanza icon, there is a fairly long list because the Canadian movie scene was quite small and a lot of great talent had to leave Canada to make it big...and good for them, they've given Canadians and the world some awesome entertainment. Thanks for the video and your reactions, I love your videos
Friends have also been reallly popular here in Canada as well! Many TV Series done in the US were very popular here, even for us French Quebeckers, we as well loved to watch those TV Series back in those days!
The one I learned about a few years ago and was surprised is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has duel citizenship his father is from Nova Scotia
Rachel McAdams was born in a hospital in London, Ontario, but was raised and went to school in St. Thomas, Ontario about 30 minutes from London.
American production companies film on location in Canada all of the time. Some famous Canadian actors begin as background actors on American productions.
I would love to be your Canadian fact checker. I am a proud Canuck and none of these were a shock to me. Fun fact, Elliot Page had a recurring role in Trailer Park Boys as Lehey’s daughter.
What? Lehey's daughter? I'm going to have to re-watch TRB episodes because I totally missed that! Also - Lehey was the king of made-up swear words (e.g. shitiots)!
I think he played Ricky's daughter actually.
who is Elliot Page?????
Before he transitioned from a female to a male he was Ellen Page, and now he is know as Elliott Page. She played Mr. Layhey's daughter with Bars named Trina. She was friends with Ricky and it pissed Layhey off .
I remember him in that, though I didn't think much of her at the time, as her part was fairly minor and generic with few lines.
The female co-star, in a police uniform, talking with Nathan Fillion (from Edmonton, Alberta) in the clip from "The Rookie" is also Canadian (Calgary, Alberta).
Yes, Melissa O’Neil. She also won the third season on Canadian Idol
@@catherinetodd5163 Melissa O'neil probably included in the audition the badass leader she played on the series Dark Matter.
And also the actress who plays Nathan Fillion's sidekick in the TV show Castle Stana Katic is a Canadian too from Hamilton ON.
@@waynemclaughlin8937 Yes, and Dr Elizabeth Weir from SG Atlantis, Torrie Higginson, is from next door to Hamilton in Burlington, ON. I live in Hamilton and many series have filmed here.
@@claudelemire2451 Yes. I liked Dark Matter.
Matthew Perry is the stepson of another iconic Canadian voice. Keith Morrison the voice from Dateline is his stepfather.
Shawn works mostly in the US and Aaron works mostly in Canada. Shawn is on The Rookie. Many of the cast and guest stars on The Rookie are Canadian; it seems that Nathan likes to employ his own.😉 Melissa O'Neil (Officer Chen) was on Canadian Idol.
