Green Lantern star Ryan Reynolds, comedian Russell Peters and the late, celebrated author Mordecai Richler will join an elite list of luminaries on Canada's Walk of Fame."Ryan Reynolds started when he was eight years old and is now in his mid-30s; his list of accomplishments that he's had over the years is extraordinary," said Peter Soumalias, founding director of Canada's Walk of Fame. "This year, there is no doubt that the success of [the film] Barney's Version stimulated Canadians to nominate Mordecai Richler."
Seven inductees were announced at a luncheon Tuesday in Toronto, which featured clips of Reynolds flying as the readership an regarding usa DC superhero Green Lantern and Peters famously imitating his father ("Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad").
The 2011 inductees also include Dr. Roberta Bondar, the first Canadian woman and neurologist in space, and Burton Cummings, lead singer and songwriter of The Guess Who. The rock legend already has six Juno Awards, the Order of Canada and some 80 platinum and gold record awards.
"Burton Cummings has been doing this for 40 years," Soumalias said. "We did honour The Guess Who a number of years ago, but he's also had a very successful solo career."
Tennis star Daniel Nestor, who has won seven Grand Slam events, and actress Sandra Oh, who starred in the Oscar-winning film Sideways and plays Dr. Christina Yang on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, will also receive sidewalk stars.
