Byron Lawson is a widely followed Canadian actor who can open a project on name recognition alone. 1999 is where the trail of credits begins. Whatever else turns up, action runs through the filmography. The career has been built at studio scale rather than at the margins. If a single title has to stand for the whole career, it is 'Skyscraper'. 'Snakes on a Plane' completes the pair of titles that define the public profile.
