His big screen debut occurred in 1979 when he had a minor role in the action movie “Bear Island”.

In 1984, Bruce was cast for the leading role of Jack Gage in the “Legmen” TV series, but the real breakthrough in his professional acting career occurred in 1986, when he was chosen for the role of Dr. Seth Griffin in NBC’s medical drama “St. Elsewhere”.

Bruce Greenwood Quotes

• [on undertaking the role of Dr. Emmett Code in The River (2012)] I’ve played a lot of people who have hidden agendas or have reached bottom, who are not particularly savoury. This is a guy who believes deeply in his love for his wife, his son, and is just happy to wake up in the morning.
• [on his digitally-coded performance in Super 8 (2011)]: It’s not your typical acting exercise at all, because you’re really the only person in this room with all the cameras in it. It was a very weird thing to offer up all this big emotion while the rest of the people in the room are picking away at the craft services table.
• [on performing in the horror movie Cell 213 (2011)]: I was only on the set for about 10 days but I was trying for some edgier stuff, some different decisions. I asked the director what this guy was about, what he does, and he said ‘He smells people’. So there were scenes where I really did a lot of sniffing. I spent a lot of time breathing people in and flaring my nostrils.
