Announcing! our New Discussion Board,
where you can nominate a new famous Canadian or debate an old one.

Scott Speedman

is the former swimmer who took up acting when a neck injury ended his hopes of being a professional athlethe.  Scott Speedman's first audition came when he took on a challenge from his girlfriend to go on Much Music (Canadian MTV)'s "Speaker's Corner" video booth and publicly announced he would audition for the role of Robin in the then being cast Batman film.  This daring display did not get him the part, but it nonetheless was the start of something big for Speedman.  Though his first role on the Nancy Drew TV series did little to make him a household name, Scott's next gig, the role of Ben on the popular Warner teen drama "Felicity" would prove to be his breakthrough.  Scott then got a part in the feature film "Duets" co-starring with Gwyneth Paltrow, and will appear in the Plague Season, a film based on a James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential) story.
