Born
and raised in Montreal as the son of Czech immigrants, Richard’s father was a
cabaret and theater performer in Europe before coming to Canada. Richard always
liked performing in front of an audience and he realized after doing his first
play at the age of 14 that it was his calling in life. While taking acting
classes, he got his first movie acting job and decided to whole-heartedly
pursue his career as an actor. He has worked all over Canada, in the U.S., Europe,
and New Zealand. Right now, his home is wherever work and life may take him.
CARA REYNOLDS / Kate
Cara
Reynolds began her acting career in Montreal at the age of 9. She landed her
third audition ever, earning a role in the feature film Eye of The Beholder, where she played the younger version of Ashley
Judd’s character Joanna Eris. She later had a brief stint on the children’s
television series Caillou, as well as
on PBS Kids cooking show Wiz Chef.
She then held a series of small roles in three Canadian independent features.
Throughout her teenage years, Cara landed roles in her high school’s renditions
of Cheaper by The Dozen and Alice in Wonderland. Cara took a short
hiatus from acting in order to focus on her studies before deciding to combine
her love of acting and academia to enroll in John Abbott’s Professional Theatre
program. After a year of learning from some great mentors, Cara moved to
Vancouver to take a crack at the West Coast film and television industry.
FRANCIS GOULD JR / Wayne
Ever since
joining his high school improv team in the 9th grade, Francis has
been passionate about acting as a hobby. As a teenager, he was involved in live
action role-playing games where he met Ramiro Bélanger, who, seeing a lot of
raw talent, inspired him to continue developing his acting skills. A decade later,
Francis was cast to play JR in the short film Raymond May Have Rabies. His performance blew the team away, so
Ramiro decided to write a part for him in his first feature, CLYDECYNIC. He was
the only non-unionized actor in the production and held his own as a
professional. Since then, Francis has written and directed his first short
film, Two Inches From Death.
