Fun fact

Films where he's had a starring role have grossed over $1.28 billion worldwide — mostly on the strength of a Viking teenager he voiced without ever appearing on screen.

The verdict

Born in Ottawa but raised in Montreal, and about as unfiltered a Canadian as this file has on record. Voiced Hiccup across the entire How to Train Your Dragon franchise, held down two cult sitcoms along the way (Undeclared, Man Seeking Woman), and never really left. Born here, raised here, give'r. Five points.
