Can you speak hypothetically without conditionals


In English, we often use "would" to directly make the sentence hypothetical,
but how would you do this in Japanese? I only know how to use conditionals for
this, but It doesn't give me the same feeling...

For example:

> You would make a good actor.
>
> 役者になったら、上手と思う。
>
> (If you were to become an actor, you would be good at it.)

Example 2:

> This sort of thing would be popular in Canada.
>
> カナダにあったら、こんな奴は人気だ。 (If this was in Canada, it would be popular.)

Can you see what I mean? I can't get the same meaning from Japanese...

How would I go about expressing these example sentences?




I believe using one of the forms だろう or でしょう would convey the idea that you
want.

> You would make a good actor  
>  上手な役者になるでしょう。

and

> This sort of thing would be popular in Canada.  
>  こんなやつはカナダに人気でしょう。
