Kris Holden-Ried: Actor by Chance!

After 16 years of intense determination and constant struggle, Kris Holden-Ried finally seems to have carved a niche for himself in the brutal entertainment industry.

Now, as he reflects back at where it all started from, he realizes that this isn’t the life he had dreamt of. 

What?

You and I both need to know more! 
Kris revealed that his first acting project, which was a role in the movie, ‘Young Ivanhoe’, was actually an attempt to make some money, which he needed to fund his passion as an athlete. Being a member of the Canadian National Pentathlon Team, Kris was ambitious about his career in sports, and had never aspired to be an actor. 
Yikes! 
Interestingly, he got selected for the role because of his prowess as a rider and fencer. Lacking any other professional training in acting, Kris had no hopes of landing any other roles in his kitty. 
However, it seems that fate had different plans in store for him. 
It wasn’t long before veteran actor Michael Ironside took Kris under his wing and trained him about the dos and don’ts of the world of cinema. By then, Kris had begun enjoying being an actor, and luck was on his side, as he was never out of work. 
The rest, as they say, is history! 
Being at the peak of his acting career, Kris now considers Gene Hackman to be his role model, saying that he admires his work, as well as the way he keeps his personal life separate from his professional life. 
You can download Lost Girl to see the actor in the latest episodes of the series. 
Au revoir till the next time!

Lost Girl Turns Into a ‘Protector’!

Well, this Lost Girl series star is none other than Emmanuelle Vaugier, who has been selected to play an important role in an upcoming project called The Protector. 

I became familiar with this brilliant actor only after seeing her wonderful performances in Lost Girl episodes. She appeared only in two to three installments, but this was enough for her to win a million hearts! 
She has been exploring her world constantly, and as an actor, the girl has improved a lot. Apart from The Protector, the diva has also signed many other big banner projects, which include Where the Road Meets the Sun, French Immersion, and Bind amongst others. 

As such nothing has been revealed about the role of Emmanuelle in The Protector series, but she has joined as a regular star. The drama has already been launched, and soon you will get a chance to see her once again. 

In her decade old career, the actor has played many challenging roles, and she has been appreciated repeatedly by her fans for most of them. 

Apart from appearing in Lost Girl, the actor has played pivotal roles in hit shows such as Smallville, CSI: NY, Two and a Half Men, and Supernatural too. 

I have seen most of her performances, but I really like her as The Morrigan, the character which she played in Lost Girl. Currently, the show is off air, but there are many fans, who get a Lost Girl download just to catch her in the role of the Dark Fae leader!

From The Small Screen To The Big: Journey of Ksenia Solo!

The actress, whose career skyrocketed after Black Swan’s success, is none other than Ksenia Solo. Before stepping into the glamour-rich place called tinsel town, she got a chance to prove her acting skills on the silver screen.

Her portrayal of Kenzi in Lost Girl series made her popular among masses. After this short yet challenging role, she got the chance to play Veronica in Black Swan, which stretched her popularity meter to a never before level.
Today, we will look back at those small screen projects, which gave immense boost to her career. The actress, who started her journey with a few television movies, had the desire to rule Hollywood! Her sublime performance in these movies did not go unnoticed, and fetched her major roles in popular series like Lost Girl, Life Unexpected, Nikita and Cold Case. These series allowed her to explore her talent inside-out.

In Cold Case, she appeared in the role of Leena, who becomes a victim of forced prostitution. On the other hand, Life Unexpected presented her as a tender-hearted girl.

Furthermore, Lost Girl series featured her as Kenzi, a simple girl with kleptomaniac tendencies. If you want to explore the interesting world of this girl, then watch Lost Girl episodes online!

The actress has never been short of work, for her passion for acting makes her an ‘in-demand’ star. May she continue to be the example of excellence!
