Is just some of the American movies with Canadians actors. Canada has population of 35,540,419 of 2014. Yet I know many states with large population and they are hardly in movies.

Is this Canadian government paying Hollywood to get some Canadians in American movies?

I know they filmed a lot of movies in Canada because it is cheaper. But what is up with so many Canadians in American movies.

And than second in line is lot of British in movies.Like in the TV show walking dead there is some British actors like Andrew Lincoln , Lauren Cohan- Maggie Greene ,David Morrissey- The Governer , Lennie James- Morgan James.

And some others on Hershel Farm in the walking dead. And fake a horrible southern accent that does not get any where close to true southern accent .

It would be like American in TV show trying to do accent of the old British.

Some times I wander if it is the government in those countries have a deal with Hollywood.

And yet some people in some states are hardly in movies.
