James Tupper Official New7Wonders Ambassador for Bay of Fundy

Acclaimed actor James Tupper, the man known to many as Dr. Chris Sands from the hit television show “Mercy” has cast his support for Canada’s Finalist

Zurich/Switzerland, January 25, 2010 - “I am so excited that the Bay of Fundy is representing Canada in the New7Wonders of Nature contest,” stated Mr. Tupper. “Through this global campaign, so many more people will discover and appreciate the extraordinary natural wonder created by the world’s highest tides. While growing up on Canada’s east coast, I spent my summers exploring the Bay of Fundy and as a child, walking on the ocean floor at low tide was absolutely mesmerizing to me. To be able to explore the beach where only a few hours earlier tides were the height of a 4-story building... now that’s adventure! And because of the Bay’s crazy tides, it’s also the only place in the world where fishermen have to climb a ladder for their daily catch.”

Mr. Tupper was called one of 2009’s sexiest stars by the American magazine US Weekly and recently included in the US TV Guide’s list of “Sexiest Men on TV,” is the first Canadian celebrity to endorse the Bay of Fundy.

James Tupper is also well-known to TV audiences in North America and beyond for his role as “Jack” alongside his real-life partner, actress Anne Heche, in NBC’s “Men in Trees”, and for his guest appearances alongside Christina Applegate in “Samantha Who?” His most recent movie, the screen-adaptation of the bestselling novel “Me And Orson Welles” was released in December 2009, in which Mr. Tupper stars opposite Zac Efron and Claire Danes. He currently divides his time between Los Angeles and Vancouver.

New7Wonders is delighted that James Tupper is helping spread the word about the campaign to choose the Official New7Wonders of Nature. People worldwide are coming together to celebrate what Mr. Tupper calls the ‘extraordinary natural wonder’ of the Bay of Fundy and the other 27 Official Finalists.
