Trivia: Canadian actress Missy Peregrym (born Melissa Peregrym in Surrey, British Columbia) specialized in slightly edgy and gritty television outings during her early years on-camera. She debuted at 20 years old, under the aegis of producer James Cameron, with a guest appearance on that director's white-hot action series Dark Angel (playing a character named Hottie Blood). Peregrym then essayed a role in the short-lived weekly martial arts actioner Black Sash (in 2003, as a young woman hell-bent on unbridled vengeance). In 2004, she appeared on the cult superhero series Smallville as Molly Griggs, aka Brainwave (a role she revisited in 2006 for a series of webisodes called "The Vengeance Chronicles"). Later in 2004, Peregrym took on a regular role on the teen drama Life As We Know It as the soccer-playing Jackie Bradford, but the show failed to gain a significant audience, and was canceled after less than half a season. Peregrym's next project, however, proved to be her highest-profile to that date; she took on the lead in the inspirational sports drama Stick It (2006) -- playing a rebellious 17-year-old gymnast who achieves her full potential thanks to the tutelage of a die-hard, no-nonsense coach (Jeff Bridges). Not long after that, Peregrym was cast as a recurring character on the massively popular superhero series Heroes, playing the deceptive Candice Wilmer, who could make people around her see whatever version of reality she chose. In fall 2007, the actress captured another regular role on a supernatural-themed series, the comedy drama Reaper, about a slacker who, on his 21st birthday, finds out that his parents sold his soul to the devil, whom he must now work for. Peregrym played his charming girl-next-door love interest, Andi. After Reaper ended its run, Peregrym found still more success with her next project, the series Rookie Blue.

Trivia: One of Canada's fastest-rising actors, Callum Rennie (also known as Callum Keith Rennie) came into the business at an age when most actors are considered to be heading steadily over the hill. Rennie had his breakthrough when he was 34, starring alongside Sandra Oh in Mina Shum's acclaimed Double Happiness (1994). Nominated for a Genie (Canada's equivalent of the Oscar) for his portrayal of Mark, the endearingly geeky guy who falls in love with Oh's character, Rennie was effectively introduced to audiences across Canada, many of whom wondered where he had been for so long.Born in Sunderland, Tyne-and-Wear, England, on September 14, 1960, Rennie moved to Edmonton, Alberta, with his family when he was barely out of diapers. Raised as the second of three sons in a middle-class family, he first thought about becoming an actor at the age of 18 and began appearing in local theatre productions. Unfortunately, any career aspirations he had took a back seat to an addiction to alcohol, one that would control his life until he was 33. Drinking heavily, Rennie continued his involvement with the theatre, appearing in a number of stage productions, but his work -- which often met with substantial acclaim -- was largely overshadowed by his addiction. Things finally began to change for Rennie in 1993, when he got into a bar fight that resulted in glass in his left eye and a vow to quit drinking. His ensuing sobriety was accompanied by a change in his career, marked by an increasing number of supporting roles on various TV programs, including a recurring spot on the CBC's My Life as a Dog, for which he won a Genie. Rennie's 1994 screen breakthrough in Double Happiness opened the door for more screen work, including Bruce McDonald's wickedly good but woefully little-seen Hard Core Logo (1997), a pseudo rock documentary that cast Rennie as an aging punk rocker. He also landed a starring role on Due South, an popular Canadian TV series that cast him as a hard-bitten Chicago cop.In 1998, Rennie won one of the most important roles of his career to date in Don McKellar's Last Night. An acclaimed film about the end of the world, it cast the actor as a man intent on trying every possible sexual variation imaginable in the time he has left. Rennie won a Genie for his performance, which imbued the character with more charm than smarm and captured both his efficacious self-assurance and surprising awkwardness. The film also allowed the actor to collaborate again with Sandra Oh, as well as director David Cronenberg; the following year, Cronenberg cast him in a substantial role in eXistenZ.As the 21st century began, Rennie could be seen in The Last Stop as well as Christopher Nolan's breakthrough hit Memento. He jumped back and forth between small and big-screen projects such as Bliss, Dark Angel, The Butterfly Effect, Blade: Trinity, The X-Files, Battlestar Galactica, and 24, finding one of his biggest successes when he was cast in the AMC mystery series The Killing as Rick Felder.
