12 Actors Americans Refuse to Believe Are Canadian

America's sweetheart was born in a house on University Avenue in Toronto. The actor who played Captain Kirk was born in Montreal on the exact date an Iowa plaque gives as Kirk's future birthday. And the man who played the U.S. president on Designated Survivor can't vote in American elections. All of it is on the record. This countdown ranks 12 stars who became the face of something unmistakably American (a hero, a hometown, a president, a national nickname), and every one of them is Canadian by birth or citizenship. Inside: the Mean Girls villain who walked the halls of a Toronto high school, the Bonanza patriarch whose own country turned down his plaque twice, and the Canadian kid whose movie line a president quoted to Congress. 👉 Which name on this list did you always assume was American?
