My Babysitter’s A Vampire
I’m in the midst of shooting a fun gig on Teletoon’s wildly successful teen series, My Babysitter’s A Vampire. It’s being directed by the wonderful Kelly Harms, whose work as an actor I adored. Now that he’s directing tv and film, I bet everyone else will start snapping him up to helm their gigs, too. I play Mrs. Turner and I believe it’s episode 204. Apparently the series will air here in Canada in the new year but from what I’ve been told, it’s the most watched kid’s series in the US. The cast and crew are wonderful and the entire creative team is really fun to be working alongside. Go MBV!

Imprints with Theatre Gargantua
I’ve been invited to join the company of Theatre Gargantua for their newest cycle of creation called Imprints. It’s a collective physical theatre piece which has been in development for the last few years. You can read all about Theatre Gargantua here and more specifically about Imprints here.
We’ll be on stage at Factory Theatre in Toronto November 10-26, 2011. I’ll keep posting more info as we get closer to production. rehearsals start end of September so lots of time to get in tip top shape!
Commerical Viability
Glenn Sumi, a writer and theatre/film reviewer with Now Magazine here in Toronto, asked me for my input on commercial work as an actor. It’s a nice little article with input from two other wonderful Toronto based performers, Naomi Snieckus and Jason Derosse. Here’s the link:

Rapid Pulse News
A few months back, I shot a short webisode intended as a pilot for a web series. No idea what the plan is or was but I finally tracked it down.
Kind of appropriate for an April Fool’s posting.
Have a laugh:
New Reel, take 2: Once More, With Feeling
Finally got the correct file uploaded- it’ll be going up over at my Demo section as well.
Have a look- it’s a fun mix of work I’ve done over the last little while.
Brand New Demo Reel!
Honestly, it’s well overdue. I think the last time I updated my demo reel was in 2006. I have always worked with the fabulous David Makepeace when it comes to updating my reels. Since we’ve been doing this for well over a decade now, it’s always a treat to open up the vault and look at past edits and remember great gigs of years gone by.
Until we get it up in the Demo section, take a look at it here on this link.
Scenes are from The Jane Show, Lost Girl, Watchmen, Eureka, The Town Christmas Forgot, This Is Wonderland, A Slight Case Of Murder, and Slap Shot: The Junior League.
Enjoy! And spread the word….
Lost Girl, “(Dis)Members Only”
Here’s the link to the episode of Lost Girl I did on Showcase. I’m not sure how long it will remain up but you can watch the entire series online at www.lostgirlseries.com. There’s quite the online community built around the show as well; it’s been picked up for a second season so I’m excited to see how it develops, and of course, overjoyed for everyone involved on the show.
Speaking of which, go see Black Swan. Ksenia Solo has some lovely work in it as Veronica, a member of the corps de ballet. She was a ballerina and it’s great to see her in her element. Beautiful actor.
Happy New Year!
Hard to believe 2010 has come and gone and we’re into a whole new decade. Here’s wishing all of you a wonderful New Year, full of peace, joy, happiness and prosperity. Looking forward to many new projects coming my way so I’ll keep you all in the loop.
Until then, here are a few more unretouched, raw pics from the last session with David Spowart.
From Here on In…
You can find me on W every day until Tuesday. Today The Town Christmas Forgot re-aired, and will again tomorrow, Sunday Dec.19 at 3 pm EST, Tuesday Dec.21 at 7pm, EST, and Christmas Day at 4 pm, EST. They’re also showing Growing The Big One on Monday Dec.20 at 9 am, EST and Tuesday Dec.28 at 5 pm, EST.
So you can tunes in fairly frequently if you like or take your chances and more than likely catch me in Thanksgiving or Christmas mode, courtesy of a Hallmark MOW.
Tis the season!
Giddy Up and Yee Ha
Years ago, when I worked at The Shaw Festival in Niagara On The Lake, Ontario, I picked up a Shady Brady straw cowboy hat. I’ve traveled with it and worn it on occasion but it mainly comes out at photo shoots. For some reason, it makes me think of Giant- the days of James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor….
Here are a few pics from the last shoot with David Spowart…..
