Paul Gross

Paul Gross is the sort of all-rounder I instinctively root for, an actor, writer, director, producer, and composer who clearly wants to own the whole creative pipeline. I'm partial to performers with that authorial instinct, the ones who shape worlds rather than just inhabit them. Made an Officer of the Order of Canada, he's helped carry his country's cultural voice without chasing Hollywood gloss. A grounded craftsman, and I respect that enormously.
