I have no idea what this webpage is, but I stumbled on it by accident. It's so absurd in places, it seems almost impossible to believe anything that's on it.
For example, it lists CFRB morning host John Moore as a "famous" actor. That would probably be news to him, since he's often talked about the bit parts or the extra roles he's worked on in films and not much else. His net worth is also listed as $1.5 million! Which I'm sure he wishes were true.
It lists the people he works with on the morning show - including producer Jessie Lorraine, who has not been part of the morning crew in ages. Nor is Mike Toth or the late Christie Blatchford still part of the show, as the obviously dated page indicates.
But perhaps the most bizarre stat that it claims not to know are his "body measurements, although they promise to update that "soon.". I'm glad they at least skipped making that one up!
There are a few facts they actually did get right, though. He was on Jeopardy and he did cover the 9/11 attacks in New York City. It seems they took bits and pieces from other sources and reprinted it all as fact. None of which makes it true.
It's more proof if you ever needed it that you shouldn't believe a lot of what you read on the Internet.
Anyway, if you want to take a quick peek at this laughably bizarre site, have at it here.

$1.5 million is not much if he owns real estate in Toronto.

I'm trying to think of the film he was in starring Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry. He was the bank manager/teller or something like that. Someone can look it up if they have time. Late 90s

Well, I'll have to take your word on this. After all, your name IS "cash!"

That's "Famous Birthdays" which is pretty well-known (Wikipedia article on it here). It's generally regarded to take it with quite the grain of salt; while some basic core information may be correct (i.e. actual birthdate, occupation, city of residence, etc.), the rest may have had human intervention back at its creation time but ongoing maintenance always looks to be via web-crawling bots or user submissions and often highly speculative (or using their own algorithms). I wouldn't read too much into anything appearing there.
