I would dispute Oliver Platt as a Canadian actor. He was born there and shares duel citizenship with the United States, but his father (an accomplished U.S. Ambassador) and mother are both American and he lived all over the world before college, which he attended in the United States, and where he currently resides.--TKE

Oliver Platt's father was in official diplomatic status in Canada as a representative of the United States when Oliver was born; as such, the child of an accredited diplomat by the terms of the Vienna Diplomatic Convention does not acquire citizenship of the birth country. Oliver is not, in fact, a Canadian -- unless he chose to acquire Canadian citizenship later in life. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.143.115.182 (talk • contribs) .

Right, then I'm removing the claim of Canadian. Teke 17:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I took out "Canadian" and I took out "American"...he is now just an actor. Fair enough?

I don't see why "American" should be removed. He definitely is, having been born to American parents, raised in the United States, living there at the moment, and possessing US citizenship. Being born in Canada was more or less an accident of birth, i.e. Martin Lawrence, the comedian, being born in Germany. Tell-Tale Ghost 07:19, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
