Carrie-Anne Moss

Carrie-Anne Moss did something most actors only dream of: she became an icon in a single frame. As Trinity in The Matrix, this Burnaby, Canada native and former model rewrote what a female action lead could be, all coiled control and quiet intensity. Yet what earns my lasting admiration is everything after. She refused to be swallowed by the role, delivering haunting work in Memento and winning a Genie for Snow Cake, repeatedly shedding the icon to play ordinary, wounded people. To me her career is a masterclass in escaping your own legend, and that takes more courage than any kick.
