Harry Markopolos doesn't feel like a hero, despite earning a standing ovation in Toronto Thursday night for his quest to uncover Bernie Madoff's $50 billion ponzi scheme.

"Heroes are brave. They don't show fear. And I did," Markopolos said after "Chasing Madoff," Canadian filmmaker Jeff Prosserman's portrait of the Madoff whistleblower, received a North American debut to kick off the Toronto Jewish Film Festival.
