Lara Amersey

A Canadian actress of South Asian heritage, Lara's career across film, television and commercial mediums has spanned almost 20 years. A successful career in kids television (this includes 52 episodes in a lead role in the YTV series Monster Warriors as well as many other credits across the Family Channel and Nickelodeon network) transitioned into a successful career as an adult. A 5 year break from the screen to have her two children only strengthened her passion and resolve for a career on screen. Lara has booked a number of lead and supporting lead roles in the last few years and has also added to her creative repertoire by channeling her work in Toronto as a sommelier into a successful collaboration with New York based company Thrillist in the new web show "Wine and Cheeseburger". She has also found her voice as a writer, working to bring diverse stories centered around women and motherhood to the screen, already having successfully earned a screenwriting award on the film festival circuit for her short film "Reject". An integral part of the Canadian film and television industry, Lara is looking forward to her further creative endeavors and the opportunities to tell unique and diverse stories. Upcoming projects in 2021/2022 include a new movie for the Hallmark Channel and a role in the CBC/Netflix show Workin' Moms.
