Acting Career
He is probably best known to Canadian audiences for his portrayal of investment banker Adam Cunningham on the Global series Traders, the father of the groom in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and the recurring role of Judge J.E. Reilly on the soap opera Passions and the ghost of Joe's father on the hit television show Medium.
However, he has made appearances in American media; particularly in science fiction. He portrayed Sky Marshall Dienes in the movie version of Starship Troopers, an interrogator of Captain John Sheridan on Babylon 5, legendary Vulcan philosopher Surak on Star Trek Enterprise and Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy in the 2008 film Recount.
He appeared several times on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Admiral Chekote (contrary to rumor, this character is not related to Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager). He also had a guest-starring role on the popular cable television series Queer as Folk, playing gay millionaire George Schickel.

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or career:
“Blessed be the inventor of photography! I set him above even the inventor of chloroform! It has given more positive pleasure to poor suffering humanity than anything else that has “cast up” in my time or is like to—this art by which even the “poor” can possess themselves of tolerable likenesses of their absent dear ones. And mustn’t it be acting favourably on the morality of the country?”
—Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801–1866)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
