From Michael J. to Justin Biebs: a brief history of Canadian teen heartthrobs Scott Speedman Another Toronto-born babe, Scott Speedman got his first break on Speaker's Corner; the cheeky teen made an on-air request to be cast as Robin in the new Batman movie. The part went to Chris O'Donnell, but the stunt worked—Speedman got some bit parts before landing the role that would cement his dreamboat status. As brooding college freshman Ben in the TV drama Felicity (1998–2002), Speedman tortured Keri Russell's poor teenage heart. Not content to be cast as just a sexy smile and killer set of cheekbones, Speedman went on to make a name for himself on the CanCon scene, appearing in the critically acclaimed My Life Without Me and this year’s Barney's Version.
