Official Biography
BRUCE GREENWOOD (Lawrence Robertson) plays the chairman of the
ultra-powerful corporation United States Robotics (USR) on the eve of the
largest rollout of household robots in history. His goal of putting "a
personal robot in every home" is threatened by the death of USR's most
brilliant scientist.
Greenwood starred as John F. Kennedy in the 2001 feature film "Thirteen
Days," and appeared last summer as the head of the LAPD's Internal Affairs
Division in "Hollywood Homicide," starring Harrison Ford and Josh
Hartnett. He co-stars in the upcoming drama/comedy "Being Julia," with
Annette Bening, directed by Istvn Szab.
He has starred in numerous studio features, among them "Double Jeopardy,"
"Rules of Engagement," "Below" and "The Core." But Greenwood is equally
noted for his work in the independent films, particularly in director Atom
Egoyan's "Exotica," "The Sweet Hereafter," and "Ararat."
Born near Quebec, Greenwood graduated from high school in Zurich,
Switzerland and later attended the University of British Columbia. He won
a 1995 Gemini Award in Canada for his guest starring performance in "Road
to Avonlea," and has twice been nominated for Canada's Genie Award for
Best Actor for his work in "Exotica" and "The Sweet Hereafter."
Greenwood's breakthrough role in the U.S. was in the popular series "St.
Elsewhere," in which he starred as Dr. Seth Griffin during the 1986-88
seasons. He later won acclaim in the title role of the series "Nowhere
Man."
Frequently moving between American and Canadian projects, Greenwood holds
dual citizenship in both countries.
