Don McKellar, fellow Canadian actor and frequent collaborator with
Atom Egoyan, released his directorial debut
Last Night (1998) to much critical acclaim. McKellar cast Khanjian, as well as other Egoyan regular
Sarah Polley. In another coincidence,
David Cronenberg took an acting role in
Last Night (1998), and later, along with Egoyan took a cameo role in
Barney's Version (2010).
