I am always happy when I see a Canadian performer become a household name in the States. Whenever I see these Canadians I get this odd little feeling in my belly (specifically the ileum) which is national pride.

Oddly enough I get this same feeling around a select few Yankee Doodle performers. Does this happen to anybody else?

Consider the following foreign actors:

• Steve Martin
• Tom Hanks
• Robin Williams

I think they are Canadian.

There are a few more out of towners who radiate Canadian pride, but the names escape me right now. You know who I mean, however, let me know if you can come up with any others, I’m interested.
