Fun fact

She has worked with David Cronenberg three times and Denis Villeneuve once, then turned up on Letterkenny — a range that runs from Toronto art-house royalty to a hard-partying small-town wild card.

The verdict

Gae on Letterkenny, but off the produce stand she is Cronenberg's and Villeneuve's go-to — A Dangerous Method, Cosmopolis, Maps to the Stars, Enemy. Toronto-born, and about as embedded in Canadian prestige film as an actor can be. Five points, and she'd be too polite to say so.
