The band's self-titled debut did better up here: four Top10
hits....including "New Girl Now", "Wave Babies", "Stay In The Light",
"Burning In Love". We released their last studio album in 2002....but it was
a pretty straight-up rock record with less emphasis on keyboards.

Agreed.

Umm...Steve Martin's not Canadian. Does a lot of movies here (Cheaper By The
Dozen 1 & 2), but he's an L.A. boy born in Waco, Texas.
Now, Andrea Martin...that's whole other story.
Other notable exports:
William Shatner, James Doohan(Scotty!!), Mary Pickford, Louis B. Mayer (born
in Russia, grew up in Saint John's, New Brunswick), Pam Anderson, Michael J.
Fox, Keifer & Donald Sutherland, Mike Myers, Mathew Perry (Friends),
Natashia Hentsridge (Species), Jill Hennessy (Crossing Jordan), Sandra Oh
(Grey's Anatomy...who lives about three blocks from Segarini), Alex Trebek,
Monty Hall, Raymond Massey, Megan Follows (Anne Of Green Gables), most of
the cast of Stargate SG-1 (except Richard Dean Anderson), Lexa Doig
(Andromeda), Christopher Plummer, Leslie Neilson, Robert Goulet, Lloyd
Bockner ("It's a cookbook! It's a cookbook!"), Nathan Fillion and Jewel
Staite (both recurring actors on everything produced by Josh Weddon),
William B. Davis ('Cancer Man' on The X-Files), all three Lone Gunmen (The
X-Files), Al Waxman (Cagney & Lacey, The King Of Kensington), Atom Agoyan
(director), David Cronenberg (director), Todd McFarlane (comic book creator
of 'Spawn' and others), and I'll just leave the musical ones alone cause
there's too many to mention.
