If ever there was a true honorary Canadian, it’s Brendan Fraser. He was born in the United States, but his parents were both Canadian and he holds the distinction of being the first American-born actor to get the honor of induction to Canada’s Walk of Fame.

Fraser took a moment — really, just a moment — to open up about his Canadian side to Sara Castillo, Comcast.net’s movie editor. She asked him about his “Canadian alter-ego and here’s what he had to tell us:

“I’m half-Canadian,” he said. “The lower half. That’s why I’m such an amazing dancer.”

Thanks for that, Brendan.

You might have heard Fraser has a new movie out today, co-starring with Harrison Ford in the based-on-a-true-story docudrama, “Extraordinary Measures.” (Click here to see Sara’s full interview with Fraser, where he talks about working with Ford and taking such an emotional story and trying to keep it from becoming melodramatic.)
