ENTER | TV & Media Avatar Contest: I'm Serious

[Owain Taggart]

First thought was fellow Canadian Leslie Nielsen... not eligible.
Second thought was fellow Canadian Jim Carrey... already entered.
So here's fellow Canadian John Candy in Oliver Stone's JFK.

Wow, totally forgot he was in that movie. Good call. That's another vote.

Last call for entries!

I'll post the poll in about 48 hours...

I just now got here. I'll go see if I can find a video to get a grab from...

Doesn't really meet the original criteria but I'll allow it.
