Fictional characters
edit- Major Donald Craig, Canadian commando serving with British special forces during World War II, portrayed by Rock Hudson in the 1967 war movie Tobruk.

Most likely he was a pastiche character, given a Canadian background as cover for Hudson's inability to emulate a British accent.
