Canada has given a lot to the world of TV, so I thought I’d take this Canada Day to celebrate some of my favourite Canadians on Twitter!
Shannon Tweed (@shannonleetweed) – You can see this lady on one of my guilty pleasure shows, Gene Simmons Family Jewels. She also happens to be one of my fave TV moms!
William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) – This man’s a legend, an icon, and a Canadian treasure! He was Captain James T. Kirk on Star Trek, and next up, he’s starring in $#*! My Dad Says, the series based on the sensational Twitter feed created by Justin Halpern.
Will Arnett (@arnettwill) – I cannot hear Europe’s “The Final Countdown” without thinking of Arnett’s Arrested Development character GOB Bluth. One of my fave Canadian funny men, Arnett’s back this fall in a new comedy series, Running Wilde.
Nina Dobrev (@ninadobrev) – She registered on our radar as part of Canadian TV staple Degrassi, but Nina became a superstar on The Vampire Diaries. This is one gifted gal who has a great career ahead of her!
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) – Metalhead, hockey fan, fan conference guest extraordinaire, and the greatest Chief aboard the Galactica, you can now see this great Canadian in The Bridge.
Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) – Handsome, talented, and auteur of some very amusing tweets, it’s been a delight to watch him each week on Castle. It’s about time we got him on TV for more than a season!
Cory Monteith (@frankenteen) – The cast of Glee certainly embraced Twitter during its first season, and what list would be complete without the boy who won our hearts as Finn Hudson on the hit series?
Erin Karpluk (@erinkarpluk) – Star of my recent obsession, Being Erica. You can also catch her in a recurring role on Life Unexpected.
If you aren’t already following these wonderful Canucks, I suggest doing so immediately! And if there are any other TV related Canadians that you think we should be following, feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments below!
