Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, has become a popular destination for the television and film industries, attracting dozens of film and television productions each year. Many of these productions have chosen Hamilton as their home base because of regional tax incentives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regional Tax Incentives for Filmmakers ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regional Tax Incentives for Filmmakers (Ontario Media Development Corporation) )〕 As well, Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan announced on December 2007, that the 'Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit' for domestic producers, would increase as well as the 'Ontario Production Services Tax Credit' benefitting foreign production. Hollywood actors who have filmed in Hamilton in 2006 and 2007 include: Don Cheadle, Jeff Daniels, Michael Keaton, Harvey Keitel, Eugene Levy, Dolph Lundgren, Shirley MacLaine, Michael Madsen, Steve Martin, Edward Norton, Chris O'Donnell, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer, Randy Quaid, Tim Roth, Martin Sheen, John Travolta, Mark Wahlberg, Christopher Walken, Ellen Page, Sigourney Weaver, Kevin Spacey, Kelly Preston and Robin Williams.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Actors, Films shot in Hamilton )〕 Hamilton also figures prominently in a number of TV commercials. In the May 2008 Lotto 6/49 commercials, people were doing their "happy dance" all over town. Brown cows took over James Street South at Main for a chocolate milk protest.
