Bruce Greenwood is celebrating his 66th birthday. Greenwood was born in Quebec, and studied at the University of British Columbia. He has been working in film and television, both Canadian and American, for over 40 years.
Greenwood has had major roles in several of Atom Egoyan’s films. He was a Canadian Screen Award (known back then as the Genie Awards) for Best Supporting Actor, for Egoyan’s The Sweet Hereafter. He has also appeared in the director’s Exotica, Ararat, The Devil’s Knot and The Captive.
Greenwood, primarily a character actor, has a very long and diverse filmography, so we’ll be able to just hit some high points. He has been nominated for seven Canadian Screen Awards (or their predecessors, the Genie and Gemini Awards). He won a Best Guest Actor honor for an appearance on Road to Avonlea.
Greenwood played President John Kennedy in the 2000 film Thirteen Days. Many years later, he appeared as Kennedy’s Defense Secretary, Robert McNamara, in The Post. He has also played fictional US Presidents twice, in National Treasure: Book of Secrets and Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Any fans of the Star Trek reboot films may remember that Greenwood appeared in two of them as Christopher Pike. He has also had roles in several other major action films. Besides those mentioned previously, they include Passenger 57, Double Jeopardy, The Core and Deja Vu.
Since 2018, Greenwood has been a regular on Fox’s The Resident, which is about to return for its sixth season. He has had stints as a regular on St. Elsewhere and Knots Landing, and starred on the short-lived UPN series Nowhere Man in the mid-1990s. He was a regular on the first season of American Crime Story, The People v. O. J. Simpson, as Gil Garcetti.
Greenwood is scheduled to star as Roderick Usher, on Netflix’s upcoming miniseries adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher.
