info
Don McKellar is a writer-director-actor. His film, Last Night, won the Prix de la Jeunesse at its premier during the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. His musical "The Drowsy Chaperone" was just nominated for a number of Tony's.
Multi-tasking 'Renaissance Man' Don McKellar is one of the Canadian film industry's secret weapons. It is his chameleon-like ability to switch between writing, acting and directing which has earned him the seventh spot on Shift Magazine's list of the ten most important people in Canadian film. He was arguably the most prolific of a creative group of friends who during the mid '90s injected a new sense of humour and hipness into the Canadian film industry, with films like The Five Senses, When Night Is Falling, Hard Core Logo, Kissed, Last Night, and the TV series Twitch City.
Don McKellar chooses to live a low-key existence. He still resides in Toronto and includes David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan and Bruce McDonald among his friends. He continues to appear in Canadian films such as 2000's Waydowntown, 2002's Rub & Tug and 2003's The Event. He co-created an animated series called Odd Job Jack for The Comedy Network, and has multiple other projects in the works.
The 1998 Toronto International Film Festival featured six films that Don was involved in, as an actor, director or writer. Don thought all the attention he received was pretty hilarious, kind of embarrassing, but sort of cool, which is just the kind of reaction you'd expect from a true Canadian 'Renaissance Man'. From Northern Stars.
