Hometown: Nelson, British Columbia

First professional job: I made a viral video about Chicken McNuggets outside Wrigley Field in Chicago, and a year later McDonald’s bought it and aired it as a commercial.
Training: Theater school taught me that loose-knit sweaters and leggings don’t automatically make you a good actor.
Most exciting career moment: Overall, it’s just been a privilege to meet people that inspired me when I was younger. I’ve had a chance to meet cast members of “Kids in the Hall,” “Mr. Show,” “The Office” (both British and American), and many other shows and films.
