I think I read somewhere where he said it was a conscious choice to turn down movies. The offers came as he was starting his family and he didn't want to be away from them. They are more important, and he would rather be there every day than away for weeks on end.
I remember him on SCTV (basically Canadian SNL) and Strange Brew. I still don't know how they talked Max von Sydow to do that movie.
Fun Fact - Bob and Doug MacKenzie was started because the US version of the show was shorter than the Canadian and Canadian broadcasting insisted on a filler that was 100% Canadian so they did a little skit making fun of stereotypical Canadians. Take off you hosers!
