his 'typical guy' act has revealed canada's renegade side.
zijn typische mannengedrag


Explanation:
I don't know who is 'he' and what is his connection to Canada, but 'typical guy" is 'een typische man', 'act' doesn't work well in Dutch, 'mannengedrag' (behavior typical of men) is an accepted term and possesses also the meaning of typical.

Example sentence(s):
  • Stoer doen is typisch mannengedrag
