Bruce Greenwood

What earns my respect for Bruce Greenwood is his rare gift for being the thick supporting beam that holds a whole film up rather than the man on the poster. A Canadian from Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and a regular in Atom Egoyan's films, he brought a weathered gravity to work like The Sweet Hereafter, and his multiple Canadian Screen Award nominations prove the craft is real. I like that he even moves easily into voice work. These are exactly the actors I treasure, the ones who add weight to a story simply by appearing in it. He is the kind of fine performer you only fully appreciate from the wings.
