History Creator / CallumKeithRennie

A talented Canadian actor [[TypeCasting with a knack for playing]] [[{{Villains}} bad guys]] and [[AntiHero troubled rogues]], Callum Keith Rennie (born September 14, 1960 in Sunderland, England) would probably be recognised by most US audiences by his face if not by his name. He's been in everything from ''Film/TheXFilesIWantToBelieve'' to ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' to ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'', and had a chance to make it big in Hollywood in the 90s but opted to remain in Canada instead. He's probably best known for ''Series/DueSouth'', and ''Film/HardCoreLogo'' as well as Christopher Nolan's breakout film ''Film/{{Memento}}''; but ''Wilby Wonderful'', in which he plays a character wildly different from his usual type cast, and ''Film/{{Shattered}}'', in which he plays a detective with multiple personality disorder, really put his acting chops on display. But his filmography isn't always quite so illustrious: he's also participated in projects such as ''Slapshot 2''. Whatever the part, you can count on him to make things better just by showing up.

Affectionately referred to as "CKR" by his fanbase, Rennie's stardom has faded somewhat since his 90s heyday. However, he is still semi-frequently interviewed and has been featured in magazines periodically for various reasons, and his recent castings in ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' and ''Film/WarCraft2016'' may once more garner him attention from outside of Canada. He also had a major role in the second season of ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' where he [[PlayingAgainstType played a perfectly nice and good-natured doctor]] who felt [[TheAtoner guilt about his actions causing harm to people]]. He has won three Leo Awards, two Gemini Awards, two Genie Awards, best actor in a Canadian film from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle, and the list continues.

Has a small but enthusiastic fandom and a penchant for rock climbing, golf, and messing with reporters. A small holdover contingent of the due South fandom from the infamous Ray Wars still view him as a controversial actor. Also see FanFic/SixDegreesOfCanada.

He's probably best known for ''Film/DueSouth'' because fans were shallow and liked his character better than the original Ray simply because of Callum's looks, and ''Series/HardCoreLogo''; but ''Wilby Wonderful'', in which he plays a character wildly different from his usual type cast, and ''Shattered'', in which he plays a detective with multiple personality disorder, really put his acting chops on display. But be warned: he's also participated in projects such as ''Slapshot 2''.

Rennie's turbulent past, bad boy image, and eye-catching charm has earned him a reputation as "Canada's James Dean"--something which he objects bitterly to, describing it as a romanticization of an incredibly difficult period of his life. But that doesn't stop stupid fangirls from admiring that point of his life. Moreover, the media often focuses in on aspects of his alcoholism such as an infamous 1993 barroom fight, but "when I read that it makes me cringe, because it makes it sound like I was a bad ass and I was really just someone who'd got lost in their life and I had sandals on. OK? I had sandals on and I wasn't looking for trouble."

Rennie got into acting late in life, and struggled with alcoholism early in his acting career. He's candid about his addiction, and it clearly informs his portrayal of certain characters.
