Now in its 25th year, Canada’s Walk of Fame began in 1998 as a way of honoring notable citizens’ contributions to entertainment, humanitarianism, business, and science, with its first class of inductees including John Candy, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Bobby Orr. Fraser earned his spot just two years after appearing in the Oscar-winning film “Crash.”
Fraser isn’t the only inductee not to be born on Canadian soil. Louis B. Mayer, the co-founder of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, and filmmaker Ivan Reitman both fled religious persecution in Eastern Europe before settling in Canada as children. NBA Hall of Famer Steve Nash was born in Johannesburg and raised in British Columbia.
