His father, Ingvard Eversen Nielsen, was a Danish-born Mountie and a strict disciplinarian.

One of his two brothers became the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. On October 10, 2002, he was appointed Officer of the Order of Canada (OC) in recognition of his contributions to the film and television industries.
