3Stuart Bruce Greenwood (born August 12, 1956) is a Canadian actor who is ''very'' good at playing down-to-earth, normal, everyday characters - characters you could conceivably bump into at the mall or meet in a bar.

5It's rather ironic, then, that his most famous roles involve him in positions of tremendous power - Captain/Admiral Chris Pike in ''Film/StarTrek2009'' and ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy in ''Film/ThirteenDays'', the unnamed President in ''Film/NationalTreasure2BookOfSecrets'', and the (presumably different) unnamed President in ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle''.

7The quality of his films is hit-or-miss - he's starred in everything from the Lifetime-esque Harlequin TV movie ''Treacherous Beauties'' to the charming indie romance ''The Republic of Love''. However, Greenwood is consistently real and wonderful in whatever role he plays - he is frequently the only watchable thing in some of his lesser-quality films.

9He also starred in the Creator/{{NBC}} series ''Series/StElsewhere'', the Creator/{{UPN}} series ''Series/NowhereMan'', and the Creator/{{Fox}} series ''Series/TheResident'', ''Series/TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher2023'', and has guest-starred in various other television series.
