Callum Keith Rennie was born in the industrial city of Sunderland, England, on September 14 1960. When he was four years old, his family moved to Edmonton, Alberta. As a teenager, Rennie attended Strathcona High School where he befriended future Kids in the Hall star Bruce McCulloch. During the late 1970s he discovered the punk movement and even sported a mohawk on the middle-class streets of Edmonton for a short time. While at school, he considered both mountaineering and acting as career options, but decided against the latter, considering it an arrogant and vain profession. He is pictured above at the 2015 Canadian Screen Awards where he was honoured with an award for his work on an episode of the TV series Motive.
