A nice Jewish boy from Montreal who was first a Shakespearean actor. Breakout TV role on Star Trek and several series after that but my favourite was Street Legal.

Of course he's done umpteen tv commercials and is not afraid to laugh at himself -- a nice Canadian trait, btw!!! And kudos to his plastic surgeon!
