Fun fact

Became the oldest actor to win a competitive Oscar at age 82 for Beginners (2012), proving Canadian excellence ages like fine ice wine.

The verdict

Born in Toronto, trained with the Montreal Repertory Theatre alongside a young William Shatner, and proudly Canadian his entire life — even when Hollywood came calling. Won an Oscar at 82 and never stopped repping the True North, making him a national treasure in every sense.
