Bio

I’m a Canadian-American on-camera actor and voiceover artist currently based in Los Angeles.

The first role I remember having was in grade one as a raven because I was the only one who could make a convincing bird noise, and that started my trend of getting non-human roles. I get lots of odd ones–gods, aliens, dragons and such; those are my favorite roles.

Originally, I wanted to write, but all we ever got to write in English classes were dull essays. In drama class they let us write what we wanted and I got to see my friends perform it. Whenever I did comedy, I always got a great reaction from the rest of the class which was nice for a natural introvert like myself. It was a very gradual transition into acting from what I’d thought I wanted to do, but I must have had a lurking suspicion because I took all the acting classes my University offered and received my minor in Drama.

I’m determined to have fun for a living; that’s my goal. I know there has to be a way to make a living through joy. I also realized right out of college that my acting resume was much more fleshed out than my business resume so it just really felt like that path was not only what I would want, but what I had already been steering toward.

As a kid I really loved the Might & Magic game series and the really early ones had this feature where your group of adventurers could work at the bank. I didn’t have the armor to go fighting dragons so I figured I’d exploit the system and skip straight to riches and heroism rather than muck about with giant rats in the sewer. I made an automation to cycle the bank employee mechanic for unlimited money and left it for a bit. When I checked back later, two of my characters were dead; they died of old age. I didn’t even know the game tracked time like that. You can usually become the savior of the world in 1-7 game-years but my guys died of old age working at the bank. That was so depressing, I’d rather go on adventures and die fighting dragons and that is why I’m an actor: more dragons.

A bit more about me:

My mom always made a big fuss about height when I was growing up. She bought me new pants once and a week or two later. One day I came home from school and told her “Mom, the girls at school are making fun of me for wearing capris. What are capris?”. She was so irritated that I had already outgrown my pants that she threatened to make me start wearing kilts, she said, “Your dad’s Scottish, you can wear a kilt.”
