HIGH FIVE
HIGH FIVE
***** im no candian but yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Canada #1
Yeah
Where is Ryan Reynolds
In the intro
Gani Ibraimi Keanu Reeves can't act his way out of a paper bag and is #6 while Reynolds isn't even on the list! Reynolds showed elite comedic chops in Van Wilder and Just Friends and elite dramatic chops in Finders Fee and Buried.
Frederick0220 And he's going to be fuckin' amazing as deadpool.
TheMrKlump i like ryan reynolds especially ar waiting and proposal but keanu reeves is better matrix and speed were Incredible
Gani Ibraimi , agreed. Old list.
"...but these actors from the Great White North have proven that they can hang with the best that Hollywood has to offer."
Yeah, actually, in many cases, Hollywood is trying to keep up with the high quality of these, and many other, Canadian actors.
But thanks for the patronizing sentiment that we're used to from the American media.
Well, Mojo is actually Canadian.
Really? Seth Rogen is on the list, but Christopher Plummer is only an honorable mention. This is ridiculous.
Haha
*****
I like Seth Rogen, he's one of my favourite (in comedies), but this list about the top 10 Canadian actors. But Plummer is another level. He was a lead in The Sound of Music, received two academy award nominations in the past 7 years, and won his Oscar when he was 83 years old.
By the way, Leslie Nielsen should be heigher on the list than Rogen.
Máté Vajda What if...Honorable mentions arent just people being mentioned for the heck of it. What if they are honorable mentions for first place? Kind of how Ive always seen it, otherwise, why not just open with the honorable mentions? Ive always felt the honorable mentions were always above second place.
So...Seth Rogen is a better actor than Christopher Plummer!? That's funny...
***** What about Nathan Fillion in Castle D:
Even though he's in the honorable mentions
Chibi Prussia Castle is SHIT compared to Firefly.
***** And Nathan Fillion I guess gets an HM over Rick Moranis.
shmaveyea Who?
***** I don't know whether the list is about Canadian who are iconic actors or greater actors. Watchmojo tends not to define clearly the criteria of lists most of the time.
Nathan Fillion is tremendously talented and extremely underrated
Marcus Blixenkrone-Møller nooooooooo oneeeeeeeeeeee caressssssssssssssssssssss
Marcus Blixenkrone-Møller Buck can ram me any time he wants #nohomo
slipdudu I do
Marcus Blixenkrone-Møller Way too underrated. He's amazing!
Went to my high school!!
My favourites
10 Ryan Gosling
9 Dan Aykryod
8 Michael J Fox
7 Michael Cera
6 John Candy
5 Leslie Nielsen
4 Keanu Reeves
3 Mike Myers
2 Seth Rogen
1 Jim Carrey
I think Ryan Gosling is such an underrated actor, his performance in drive and blue valentine was incredible
Very happy with the #1 pick but Martin Short deserves a higher spot on this list than just an honorable mention
Sweet, a list we Canadians have been craving for a long time......finally! :D
Happy canada day
Happy Canada day brawham!
Narwhal Happy Canada Day.
Narwhal I love Canadia!
Canadia?! Lol
Canada is a great country with great people,very open and friendly.I actually never heard anything bad about that place.
I knew it, I knew you guys couldn't go a full month without mentioning the King of Canada, Jim Carrey!
Im shocked this list wasnt made a while ago, isnt watchmojo a Canadian channel?
Yes.
Yes they are
Wolverine vs Deadpool Probably in spirit of Canada Day
bannokelly18 Probably took 'em this long to find 5 French-Canadian actors. ;)
They are
Could be worse
They could be American
Lennie Godber Troll on, troll.
Could be worse they could be British
Could be worse, could be Josh Lilly...
We do have a lot of shitty actors here in the U.S.
Patrick Bateman No
Rick Moranis? Not even an honorable mention?
Yoshi Wall At least they had Martin Short. There are so many amazing SCTV actors to choose from, they could only choose so many.
Yoshi Wall this upset me too
Rick moranis should be on that list
LyleVSXyle But they also had John Candy, and Moranis had a subtantial career after SCTV.
Yoshi Wall Like I said, they could only fit so many. Maybe WatchMojo could make a top ten SCTV Cast Members
I didn't know Keanu Reeves was Canadian. Learn something new every day!
I'm seriously upset that Leslie Nielsen is ONLY a mention. The man is pretty much one of the premiere comedic actors of all time!
Leslie Nielson should not only be on the list but also his brother was Deputy Prime Minister of Canada
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams on the Notebook are both Canadian.
Happy Canada Day
Jim Carrey's humor literally made my life more easy to cope with as a child. Thanks for everything Jim
Never a Canadian.
One of my favorite Canadian actors is the late Cory Monteith❤
Yay! Glad to see Jim Carrey number 1! He's my favorite!
Jim Carrey, my all time favorite :)
Slight correction. Ryan Gosling didn’t get his start exclusively on Canadian TV, because he was one of the many future stars to come out of Disney’s The New Mickey Mouse Club
Nathan Fillion is Canadian, never knew that before.
You should have taken Seth Rogen off and put Dan Akroyd on the list. He was a Ghostbuster.
I think either Michael J. Fox or Donald Sutherland should be 1st. They have both contributed more to movies while remaining loyal to Canada.
Ya when I think of Michael j fox I think of him being Canadian
I wanna see a list of all the great Canadian comedians, in which I hope will include the ensemble of 'The Kids in the Hall'.
Jim Carrey!! 😍❤ He totally deserved to win this list! 😉
Never a Canadian.
@@AEIOUY234689 Why not?
@@anikorozsakovacs3996 because we've never seen him in a Canadian movie
@@AEIOUY234689 He received dual citizenship in 2004.
@@anikorozsakovacs3996 but has he played in a Canadian film?
as a Canadian I feel like Leslie Nielsen deserved a spot on the list as opposed to an honourable mention. He was one of the first Canadians to make it big in Hollywood. As far back as the 1950s he was in movies like The Forbidden Planet. I agree with the rest of the list though.
If you do a list on top 10 Canadian actresses I really hope Tatiana Maslany, AJ Cook and Jewel Staite at least get honorable mentions!
I feel that Michael Ironside deserved a mention at least.
Not even mentioning Hayden Christensen? The sole savior of the Star Wars franchise, I pity you WatchMojo.
Sir Blobbington That's not funny.
Yes it is
Máté Vajda mildly funny, it is.
Sir Blobbington Do not speak "its" name.
And what has he done since then?
Terrance and Phillip ?
Zirg Gurj I'm not your buddy, guy!
dangp7 im not your guy pal!
***** you just killed it buddy
Stitch IsBest he's not your pal buddy!
Zirg Gurj Damn you beat me to this :P
How could Phil Hartman and Ryan Reynolds not even get an honourable mention!?
I love the entire cast from the Trailer Park Boys. Now that's acting.
How Ryan Reynolds didn't make this list is beyond me.
Love how both father and son are on this list: Donald and Kiefer Sutherland. Both of them are great actors.
Donald's other son Rossif is a very good actor as well. Plus, he speaks fluent French and acts in both English and French speaking productions. I have seen him in a few shows produced in Québec.
And where, may I ask, are the Ashmore twins, Yannick Bisson, David Hewlett, Ryan Reynolds, Jay Barushel, Eugine Levy, Hayden Christianson, Cory Montieth, or Howie Mandel?
Donald Sutherland also played Dr. Hawkeye Pierce in the movie M*A*S*H and Oddball in the movie Kelly's Heroes!! I love his acting!
Haven't watched video yet but I think Keanu Reeves is gonna be on here.
Well I was right. He should have been number 2-3 though.
Javonte Morant I have no idea why. Dude has zero inner life in his acting. Inner life is the most important component of acting.
Frederick0220 I think he's good. I enjoyed over 10 of his movies.
Javonte Morant
I feel ya playa.
Javonte Morant Should've been better than 6th place thought, right?
Raymond Burr, Lorne Green, Margo Kidder, Pamela Anderson, Graham Greene
Great Canadians Actors! It's all aboot their cultural style.
10. My Canadian Jewish Stoner.
9. Shatner is a awkward funny expression Shakespearian actor I've ever seen.
8. He's my favorite Canadian Comedian. Ya Baby Ya! 😅
7. Oh I miss John Candy! He's like a kind Canadian comedian with funny lines and nice performance in 80's and 90's.
6. Woah! Hell yeah! Keanu is an action pack Canadian coolest. Bogus! Also don't John Wick who becomes like cool bad ass whi wants revenge by killing a poor puppy. Such bastards. 😥
5. Sutherland is great.
4. He's the coolest handsome actor ever and of course every women wants to get fucked with him. Man, I wanted to be like him.
3. Poor Michael J. Fox. He suffered for all his diseases. God bless him.
2. A Canadian Snow.
1. Yup, he's the most funniest Canadian comedian that brings his funny expression with awkward laugh, corky characters, and hilarious comedic stunts. Carrey is the bomb of funniest.
Oh and what aboot Ryan Reynolds, Malin Akerman, Rachel McAdams, Jay Baruchel, Hayden Christensen, Eugene Levy, and many more.
Felipe Rico i believe the actresses will be a later list
Felipe Rico son of a bitch. I didn't know Hayden Christensen was Canadian.
Chance Blankenship Born in BC, raised in Toronto.
Yes, Hayden Christensen was raised in Canada. Let's not to mention to put Justin Bieber in this list. Oh please don't put that.
My most fond memory of Mike Myers was in the cat in the hat.... What a film
I believe whatever doesn't kill you makes you..
Hoo Dini
I know the videos over a month old but im very surprised not to even see Ryan Reynolds and Rachel Mcadams on here they're both brilliant.
Canadians ROCK!!!!
The list so I can save you the time:
10. Seth Rogen
9. William Shatner
8. Mike Myers
7. John Candy (RIP)
6. Keanu Reeves
5. Kiefer Sutherland
4. Ryan Gosling
3. Michael J. Fox
2. Donald Sutherland
HMs:

Nathan Fillion
Christopher Plummer (should be number 1, yet below Seth Rogen?)
Martin Short
Michael Cera
Dan Aykroyd
1. Jim Carrey
top 10 Canadian bands
my favorite is Jim Carrey because I grew up watching his movies at a very young age. and found to the funniest actor since. although the last 2 years his movies were so. but he's great in them still.
Top 10 Can-Eh?-dian Actors. Perfect, for Canada D-Eh?.
Jim Carrey is my favorite canadian actor ! :) He is my favorite comedian/actor since childhood :) . I wished they added Michael Wincott on the list , because he is a talented actor too and he always plays menacing villains like in The Crow when he played Top Dollar .
Also, Ryan Reynolds.
TheTrueman 818 He is awesome too and especially in Deadpool :D
How did Matthew Perry not make the list?
He's not a good actor
Broom Films He is such a good actor.
Have you seen his new show? It is painful to watch him he is so bad...
Who?
what???? I did not know Kiefer was Tommy Douglas' grandson! that's awesome. Tommy Douglas- a true Canadian hero.
Uh you forgot one more very important Canadian actor......RYAN REYNOLDS!!!! HOW CAN YOU FORGET HIM?!?!
A "very important" Canadian actor? Oh, you do make me laugh...I live and breathe movies, and I've seen only ONE of his films (and that was by accident, and I can't remember what the hell he did in the film). It's not as if Ryan Reynolds is Al Fucking Pacino, a guy you can't help but run into all the time, because he's been in so many great fucking movies...let's face it, you take away "Deadpool", "The Green Lantern", "X-Men Origins", and what's left? "Two Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place" (the TV show)? Cripes. Those are his best known movies, and it reads like the line-up of a movie retrospective at Comic-Con or some shit. And to be brutally honest, I don't think any of those films are going to be stored under the National Registry for "historically significant films". Ryan Reynolds can disappear, for all I care.
MisterObjectivity that's actually not true I knew Ryan Reynolds before I even followed comic book movies. The change up was decently popular same with van wilder and the croods he was even in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Buried, the Proposal, Hitman's bodyguard, RIPD, the change up, defiantly, maybe, Turbo, thecroods, those are pretty well known. That is just off the top of my head.
I was actually worried they were gonna put him at number one in front of Sutherland. So yeah, I’m pretty glad.
@@MisterObjectivity what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!
Donald Sutherland as "Oddjob" in Kelly's Heroes, with Clint Eastwood, circa 1972.Brilliant
he was Oddball in Kellys Heroes ... Oddjob was a Bond villain...
Shatner is no1 on my list!
LONDON, ON, Y'ALL! Gossling lived down the street from my best friend at one time. Pretty sure his parents and hers still live there. So glad at least one Londoner made the cut lol
Will you do lists like this for any other nationalities?
L McD It's Canada day, and they're Canadian so I don't think they will
LmqS18
How? It's just a Canadian TH-cam channel that"s celebrating Canadian people on Canada day
***** Are you talking to me?
I wasn't aware that there even was a Canada Day. They have also already done a list for the UK, and could potentially do other countries on other holidays such as Saint Patrick's day or Independence day or something.
how did you not know that there was a Canada Day?!
Frances McDormand and Catherine O'Hara, both brilliant.
I live near Michael J Fox's birthplace in Edmonton!!
I live Calgary. Still in the province
Fort Vermilion
Sherwood
RocknRollSpidey i live near jim carrey's birthplace
RocknRollSpidey Red Deer!
Hey Mojo interesting info fact for you: At 6.04 with Keifer Sutherland is also a Canadian actor Currie Graham. He hails from a small town in Ontario Prescott. He is has been in a bunch of shows as a character actor.
We are the best!
Jim Carrey
Christopher Plummer
Emily Perkins
Stephen McHattie
Roy Dupuis
cough, cough Stephen Amell cough, cough
He's not in a lot of movies to be on the list
John Nguyen He's been in 8 movies and 25 TV shows, and voiced 2 video games, i'm pretty sure he should be on here.
I think we all know what to say to watchmojo:
You have failed... This...city
Lazy Canadian He's bad actor,deal with it,Only suitable for cheesy,corny Superhero flick
GreatSage I would say he's a bad actor, that's nothing more than your opinion, bud, deal with it.
I usually always love the top 5 picks, of any of these videos. Even when I think the order of the people might be wrong, the people chosen are right to be up there. Like Jim Carey, Ryan Gosling, and Michael J Fox. Love them all.
John Candy RIP. I swear Jack Black is a dead ringer to him. I never knew Keanu Reeves was Canadian.(his hot btw). I knew Jim Carrey was a Canadian.
Ryan Gosling is a London native, but a Cornwall Ontario raised. My mom's family knew his parents.
Ryan reynolds?
Hayden christensen?
What about Tahmoh Penikett?
For all the fans of glee, where is Cory Monteith, he is canadian too, I'm disappointed
But it's the best actors. Not saying he's not the best, but maybe he's simply not in the top list? Let's not cloud our judgment because of his death.
I know that this is an old video but I've gotta say that there are so many MORE fantastic Canadian actors/actresses out there! Take Harold Ramis for example! He was also a great director!
wtf no Ryan Reynolds?
Are there any lists which mention other prominent (and often more competent actors) who are Canadian such as Fay Wray, and yes Christopher Plummer?
Jim Carey is obviously the best.
Happy Canada Day
best at what?
I'm not surprised Jim Carrey is number one. He's my favorite actor.
I figured Jim Carrey or Christopher Plummer would be number 1. I personally would've put Plummer at number 1, but I love Carrey too. Who doesn't? His movies are part of my childhood after all--The Mask, Batman Forever, Ace Ventura and Liar Liar.
My only misgivings is that you included Michael Cera in the Honorable Mentions section instead of Stephen Amell. No Ryan Reynolds?? He should've been in Ryan Gosling's place.
This is a day late but Happy Canada Day to you all at Watchmojo!👋😄
Wait, Jim Carrey Canadian? Since when? lmao Btw where is Rachel McAdams?
Since he was born.
Brynjar Reynisson I'm shocked, lol. Didn't know it!
Aegon the Conqueror and about rachel mcadams who I didnt know was canadian arent they just going to do top ten canadian actresses also
Brynjar Reynisson Yeah, they probably will.
Brynjar Reynisson Yeahm they seem to do that, just to suck more views out of the topic
My dad has a special power! Whenever he watches something he can automaticly know which actors are Canadian!
Ryan Gosling
Kiefer Sutherland
Leslie Nielesen
Michael J. Fox
Donald Sutherland
They are all much better than Jim Carrey.
Well that's a wrong opinion
Nope
+Susiruhtinas Leslie Nielsen should have been number one or at least on the bloody list, no one pays attention to honourable mentions, he's an amazing actor; I can't forgive Jim Carrey for Dumber and Dumber. Love Michael J Fox and Ryan Gosling; I don't really watch the Sutherlands but they look talented enough.
Right
John Candy should absolutely be higher.
He filmed his role in Home Alone only in one attempt, and most of it was filmed early in the morning.
And Leslie Nielsen should be more than just an honorable mention. Man, even when I hear about him I start to laugh :)
Why are their so many freaking videos about Canada today?
CANADIAN ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED
Paige Latham Cause it's Canada Day!
***** Oohh ok
Paige Latham No it's just our Illuminati.
shmaveyea Illuminat-eh*
When this popped up on my feed I was like these damn guys are doing a video I knew they already did. Then I noticed the video is 4 years old. My mistake
Before watching...Tom Cruise is no. 1
He isnt canadian
Brynjar Reynisson Well that would explain why he wasn't even on the list.
marsha eisner Did you honestly think he was canadian? I thought you were joking
marsha eisner get owt.
Funny enough he grew up in Ottawa for a couple of years
My list.
1. Jim Carrey
2. Ryan Reynolds
3. Michael Cera
4. Seth Rogen
5. Rachael McAdams
6. Mike Myers
7. Ryan Gosling
8. Michael J Fox
9. Cory Monteith
10. Eugene Levy
(It’s not in order from best to least best, I like them all equally.)
I’m beginning to think that half of Hollywood, Hell, half of all show business and singers, are Canadian! I’ve spent my entire life here in Toronto, and had no idea than half of these people are actually fellow Canadians! Trouble is, if you want to make it big, you have no choice but to go to Hollywood, because our country might be big land wise, we only have 37.5 million citizens, not really enough to become a world famous artist! But as far as talent?, I’m really surprised just how much of Hollywood is Canadian. I actually went to high school with Getty Lee, We even used to hang out together, but when Rush started becoming famous, I had no idea that he was the lead singer, until I was going through my high school yearbook, and finally put two & two together! I was always a musical kid, and I met him in band class! Amazing how many people we meet in our lives, that actually become really famous, now I wish I would’ve spent more time with them! LOL!
Do these guys know Kiefer Sutherland had a 20 year long career before 24? Sure, he played one of the most iconic TV characters ever, but even without it he would have had a very successful career. They didn't mention anything apart from Jack Bauer.
when they mentioned Donald Sutherland they forgot to mention one of his best ever roles
oddball from Kellys heros
''Them negative waves Moriarty''
I miss John Candy and Leslie Nielsen :(
No Mary Pickford? Not even an honourable mention? She was a huge star during the silent era, co-founder of United Artists with Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks, and one of the 36 original founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Thank you! Mary was an angel and a boss.
Is there a separate list for actresses? Because if not, you've missed the biggest Canadian movie star of all time - Mary Pickford. In her day she was the most bankable star in the world, with a popularity second only to Chaplin.
Others mentioned the fact that Rick Moranis was omitted, so I will skip that. But I cannot believe that Lorne Greene was totally ignored. He should have been #1.
i just realised it takes 11 minutes to drive from my house to where ryan gosling was born!
HAPPY CANADA DAY, FROM A CANADIAN TO ONE OF THE GREATEST CANADIAN TH-camRS!
Ryan Renolds should be on here. Maybe with Ryan Gosling
No mention of 50's leading man Glenn Ford (born in Quebec City)?
Glad they did this on good old Canada Day :) and Glad they used so many of our actors :)
Robert Mugabe 1)
How about Tommy Chong? He's from Edmonton, Alberta....
Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas... heck any SCTV alum ...
