I think, and no disrespect intended, b/c i dig Canada - that a lot of artists develop young in environments where they are misfits or bored out of their minds with convention or the staidness of the place and want the big city lights and thrills. So, to me, it makes perfect sense. I think you'd find a lot of H-wood actors comes from 'bland' places in the States- they know they are never going to get what they want hanging around in their home town. Like I said, not dissing Canada...
