You Canadian’s have some talent up there lol.
saving this for lunch… but it is interesting how many comedians/actors come from canada, seems disproportionate
^ Agreed - the amount of production companies and studios in Canada is also disproportionate.
well, Toronto and Vancouver are beautiful and also clean. They have lots of architecture that mimics other cities in America. A US dollar used to be worth about 1.50-1.60 canadian dollars (thus buying power was incredible).
All of this led to major US production companies and studios doing tons of location shoots up here in the 90s-2000s.
The clean thing is funny. There was a story in the 90s about a major film, set in New York, that was being shot in Toronto. They had an overnight location shoot on a street that they had put US mailboxes and garbage and all kinds of mess to make it look like a shitty street in New York somewhere. They wrapped shooting when the sun came up and were going to resume at that location come nightfall, but when they returned, the street was cleaned up. City of Toronto workers had just thought it was a street in disrepair and spruced it up a bit.
I worked as security for the filming of the incredible hulk, resident evil and shooter. All movies that had a 1-3 day shooting period on base.
We provide security to just lock the base down so no media or fans try to get in
