Fun fact
He plays the American in Heated Rivalry — a show shot in Ontario, made for a Canadian streamer, created by a Montrealer, in which the Canadian character is played by a fellow Canadian. The accents are the only import.
The verdict
Scott Hunter in Heated Rivalry, playing an American captain despite being thoroughly Montrealais. Came up through Xavier Dolan's I Killed My Mother and Quebec's film scene before The Borgias, and has two Canadian Screen Award nominations. Born, raised, bilingual. Five points.
