Veteran Canadian thespian Colm Feore does dead Canadians. "If he's dead and he's Canadian and he's famous, I'll be playing him at some point," he has said. Deceased countryman turns include Glenn Gould and Pierre Trudeau--for which he received a Gemini Award. But the US-born, Canadian-reared and educated veteran stage, television, and film actor does far more than that Fluent in French and handy with a sword, Feore has spent 14 seasons at the Stratford Festival. His leading roles have included Hamlet, Richard III and Cyrano. Last season Colm starred at the Festival as Coriolanus, Don Juan (in both English and French) and Fagin in Oliver.His Television credits include "Storm of the Century," "Haven," "Empire", "Sins of the Father", "Point of Origin", "Slings & Arrows", and "Nuremberg". Feature credits include "Chicago", "The Chronicles of Riddick", "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", and the Canadian box office hit, "Bon Cop, Bad Cop".

One of Canada's most-sought after actors, Feore has no fewer than six films and two TV projects on the go in 2007 alone in both English and French.
