The verdict
Born in London, Ontario and raised there until heading to McGill, this stage and screen legend spent his formative years skating on Canadian ice before conquering Broadway and Hollywood. Though he built his career south of the border, he never forgot his roots — that distinctive precision and politeness in his performances? Pure Ontario, eh.
