Actor Lannette New is thrilled to announce that
her television (and screen!) debut in the CTV production
of "Plague
City: SARS in Toronto" in which she played the supporting
role of "Rosie", has won two Hugo Awards from the
Chicago International Film Festival, including Special Achievement
- Acting: Cast Ensemble.
Originally from Victoria, this now Vancouver based actor grew up on the
stage. Lannette became "hooked on acting" when she was cast in
her first acting role as Mrs. Claus in her grade 2 theatre production.
Lannette was involved in music and dance from a young age, performing in
many shows as a dancer and a singer. A highlight was when she danced in
the David Foster Celebrity Softball Game. In addition to singing and dancing,
Lannette completed her grade 8 level of piano in the Royal Conservatory
of Music with First Class Honours.
Lannette moved from Victoria to Vancouver in 1993 and expanded her musical
theatre experience by performing in shows such as Miss Saigon (The Arts
Club), The King and I, Lucky Stiff, Honk!, Flower Drum Song, and many others.
Her love of acting led her to pursue her career in film and television.
An
early
experience
was singing in the Anne Murray 2002 Christmas television special.
Now represented by Lloyd Talent, Lannette is continuing her involvement
in the musical theatre community while pursuing her film and television
career. |
