When they cast Bruce Greenwood, I realized that there would be a level of believability because he looks Kennedy-esque. And, at the same time, he has a terrific gift for comedy and he would be able to embrace that Commedia dell’arte, if you will.
--Nicolas Cage, co-star, National Treasure: Book of Secrets (Deadbolt, 12/07)

A gift from God. . .such a talented person.
--Norman Stephens, producer, Magnificent Ambersons (Saskatoon Star Phoenix 1/9/02)

He's a bit of a chameleon. It doesn't take long before he takes on a character's personality.
--Roger Donaldson, director, Thirteen Days (USA Today 2/9/01)

Greenwood, 44, does look more like a pixyish Quaid than the late President.
--Nancy Mills, interviewer, (Daily News 1/15/01)

Not one of [his] characters quite prepares you for Greenwood's own demeanor -- the guy is modest, funny, and enthusiastic.
--Cynthia Fuchs, interviewer (Popmatters.com 1/14/01)

Greenwood seems reluctant to take himself too seriously
--Chris Kaltenbach, interviewer (Baltimore Sun 1/13/01)

Thankfully, the actor...exploits his naturally patrician looks - a thatch of chestnut hair, a clench of fine teeth and an intense, charismatic intelligence - to conjure the spirit of our 35th president.
--Alicia Potter, interviewer (Boston Herald 1/12/01)

Bruce Greenwood is a character actor in the classic sense. He moves comfortably from role to role, from big screen to small and back again. You know his face, but you may not know his name.
--Jody Seaborn, interviewer (Austin American Statesman 1/4/01)

..the affable, attractive actor...
--Susan King, interviewer (Los Angeles Times 12/28/00)

[Bruce] has a great ability to do impersonations......he stuck in the back of my mind. I had seen some of the other things he had done over the years, and I thought he always looked so different...... once he prepared himself he was just fantastic. He is just really a great actor, that is the short of it.
--Roger Donaldson, director, Thirteen Days (LA Times 12/28/00)

Question: How was it working with Bruce?
Ashley Judd: Wonderful! He is a giant talent! He is a wonderful, wonderful actor.
-Double Jeopardy Premiere, hollywood.com

Bruce Greenwood--oh! so sexy!
--Michelle Stafford, co-star, Double Jeopardy (Personal website)

You can't fully appreciate Bruce Greenwood's sex appeal until you meet him in person. His rugged face, windblown locks and sparkling eyes are a mere prelude to a complete package of very channeled sensual energy. His emphasis on certain words peppered with a hearty laugh make him an incredibly engaging storyteller.
--Charmian Carl, interviewer (Playgirl 6/96)

Mix Harrison Ford with a little Sam Neill, shave off a few years and you have Canadian actor Bruce Greenwood.
---Kim McCann, interviewer (Movieline 12/97)

Dammit, I love your look . . . 'cause you've got that rugged kind of thing going.
--Mike Jerrick, TV interview host (American After Hours 1/3/96)

I thought he had a remarkable presence. He can be someone who at once possesses Everyman, everyday qualities -- someone who is attractive and very identifiable as a leading man -- but who at the same time has this searing intelligence. I think both in person and onscreen he's incredibly curious and engaged, and he's able to convey that to the viewer.
--Atom Egoyan (Saturday Night 12/16/00)

We read a number of actors and, I'm sure, would have found one because we'd have had to. But when Bruce came in and read, the role was his. End of story. I agree -- he was perfect for Tom. And a good guy to boot. Tom Veil is the result of stirring my psyche into Bruce's being. I can't imagine him now with either ingredient removed." And we can't either. Bruce brought a depth of emotion to the character that lingered in the mind long after each episode ended.
Larry Hertzog Bella Online Interview 10/22/99

Bruce is lovely; I wish all my leading men were like him.
--Emma Samms, co-star, on the set of Treacherous Beauties (The Toronto Star, SPOTLIGHT, 7/24/94)

...off-camera Greenwood is warm, self-assured and laid-back.
--Carole Gault, interviewer (Broadcast Week 8/29/87)

Bruce Greenwood -- he's just wonderful and he's charming. You can't take your eyes off him.
--Janice Kaplan, TV Guide editor (UPN 9 News 2/5/96)

......it's only his grounded, lived-in sexiness that's recognizable as signature Greenwood.
--Kim McCann, interviewer (Movieline 12/97)

It was a combination of his physical presence, his strength, and he had this incredible vulnerability. We had a bit of a hero here.
--Lawrence Hertzog, Nowhere Man Creator and Executive Producer (Mr. Showbiz 11/29/95)

"Well, first of all he is gorgeous," one woman tells me.
--Timothy Taylor, interviewer (Saturday Night 12/16/00)

the affable, attractive actor...
--Susan King, interviewer (L.A. Times 12/28/00)

Although tall and possessing matinee-idol good looks replete with an unruly shock of hair, the Quebec-born actor is probably best known for a recent string of villain roles, such as the deadly husband in Double Jeopardy or the conniving U.S. bureaucrat in Rules of Engagement.
John McKay, Canadian Press 12/21/00

Meet sexy Bruce Greenwood.....this hunk has it all--and a wicked sense of humor to boot.
--Judy Cole, Playgirl Editor-in-chief (Playgirl 6/96)

on casting Bruce in Double Jeopardy:
Bruce Greenwood is a very distinguished Canadian actor and I wanted someone for the role who was a very good actor but not very well known so that the audience would really believe he had died. I didn't realise that the trailer would reveal so much of the plot so that it wouldn't matter anyway.
--Bruce Beresford on Showbiz Weekly 1/00

Excuse me, Larry, but I got frustrated with the show. I loved the pilot and Tobe did a great job with it. I loved Bruce Greenwood. He's a wonderful actor.
--Megan Gallagher, Nowhere Man co-star (Starlog 1/97)

[on Bruce's hair for Sleepwalkers]
The style: Light brown, short on the sides, with soft curls on top.
The scoop: Squeaky clean, silky, the kind of hair you could keep your hands in for hours.
--Gail Pennington, interviewer (St. Louis Post Dispatch/San Diego Union Tribune 10/5/97)

On my variety show, Bruce Greenwood has been my favorite guest. He is a great songwriter.
--Jim Byrnes, friend and fellow actor/musician (at a Fan Convention, during a Q&A session about The Jim Byrnes Show)

Yes I met him, and watched him talking to folk before, during taping breaks, and after. He's a mellow guy, would disappear in a crowd -- no sense of trying to create star presence, just one of the guys. Laughs a lot and enjoys things around him......He seemed to be in a very good mood, relaxed and friendly with everyone -- cast, crew, and audience guests. He showed up early and stayed after his scenes.
--Louise, audience member The Jim Byrnes Show

Greenwood has become the subject of several Web pages. I read him the text from one: Bruce Greenwood is an actor of vast range and concentrated intelligence (Greenwood begins to chuckle) whose quiet core of integrity (he pounds the table, heaving with held-back laughter), impish personal charm and ruggedly handsome good looks (he shakes his head) have combined to create characters of such diversity that their only common ground is the honesty and commitment of the actor who portrays them. Greenwood snatches away the printout and says, "This is crazy". What's crazy is that an actor as good as Greenwood is still so little known.
--Kim McCann, interviewer (Movieline 12/97)

Bruce is an actor...not a ham but a true talent, a serious craftsmen and a good singer. He was on the left and while he was singing he was almost romancing the microphone with hand gestures.
--Michael Gabbay, friend and songwriting partner

Bruce has endured a schedule that would kill most people and he's done it with good nature and lots of talent.
--Lawrence Hertzog, Nowhere Man Creator and Executive Producer (UPN webpage 2/96)

(on working with Bruce)
...and poor Bruce -- being the only cast member -- must have been exhausted! I would talk [with him] over the phone -- but truthfully, Bruce asked a few smart questions and went for it each week. His courage and his stamina are/were amazing. And if you think I have lotsa good things to say about series stars you're wrong. Bruce was/is great.
--Lawrence Hertzog, Nowhere Man Creator and Executive Producer (IRC Chat 4/5/98)

He's such a nice Canadian boy.
--Vladimir Kulich, bit actor, working with him on Knots Landing (Vancouver Sun 1/11/92)

We've been friends for years -- almost 10 years. So it's great working with him because he's so much fun and we know each other so well.
--Michelle Greene, Heart of a Child co-star (Metro Cafe 1/94)

Bruce Greenwood is one star who is not on a power trip playing the 3000-pound gorilla.
--Pat Collins, Entertainment Reporter (UPN 9 News 2/5/96)

Perhaps he's too low-key for publicity. Instead of mouthing the usual actorish ambitions to eventually produce or direct, he gets rhapsodic about crew jobs.
--Hester Riches, Television Critic (Vancouver Sun 1/11/92

I'd like to work with Bruce again.... I've never felt that way about a lead actor.
--Lawrence Hertzog, Nowhere Man Creator and Executive Producer (IRC Chat 8/15/96)

He's a great guy, so if the opportunity ever presented itself, sure, I'd love to work with him.
--Lawrence Hertzog, Nowhere Man Creator and Executive Producer (IRC Chat 4/5/98)

He always plays golden boys, but he's a really talented actor, and he isn't seen doing that sort of role. I thought, 'Why don't we take this very handsome man and make him look as run down as possible?"
--Atom Egoyan, Director of Exotica (Seattle Times 2/28/95)

There is something about Bruce that allows him to give the character [Dr. Griffin] a certain quirky quality. It reminds me somewhat of Terry Knox [Dr. Peter White on St. Elsewhere]. Not that Bruce and Terry are similar actors, but they both have that ability to play characters who are trying hard to keep themselves in check, but little weird, quirky expressions give them away.
--John Tinker, St. Elsewhere Co-Producer (Canadian TV Guide 5/21/88)

Bruce could move on to more dramatic roles or he could do comedy, too. The guy's very versatile. In contrast to his character, he's always joking around at work; he does one of -- no, THE best -- rogue elephant trumpeting impression I've ever heard. I think the rest of the cast would back me up on that. If he wanted to, Bruce could even do stand-up comedy.
--Sagan Lewis, St. Elsewhere co-star (Canadian TV Guide 5/21/88)

There's nothing between us, but I think the actor's dishy.
--Christina Pickles, St. Elsewhere co-star (Philadelphia Daily News 12/24/86)

[Bruce Greenwood is] a clean-cut, 1960s surfer-type of medium height and build with a good tan and blond hair [who] refuses to reveal his age ("I was born in August"), ostensibly to preserve the illusion of his youthful character. He's probably 28.
--Eirik Knutzen, interviewer/writer (Toronto Sat 2/11/84)

[We chose Bruce because he's] a strong young man who could learn to climb.
--Wendy Wacko, producer of The Climb (Western Report 1/4/88)

Then I saw Bruce Greenwood and introduced myself to him. What a nice guy, and a little wacky (in a good way) I think. Bruce is incredibly good looking -- much more so in person than on TV. I was kinda stunned, because he isn't my type at all. I didn't expect to be bowled over by him, but he seems to emit some kind of extra pheromone. In other words, he's a chick magnet. It was weird, it was wild. For those of you who watched Northern Exposure it was like the episode where Joel tries to figure out the biological source of why women are so attracted to Chris -- it's like that with Bruce. Fortunately, it started raining so I had the equivalent of a cold shower, just in the nick of time.
