Nancy Robertson

Nancy Robertson always knew what she wanted to do with her life. From putting on plays in her neighbour's yard to getting kicked out of the school library for performing for the amusement of classmates, Nancy knew she wanted to act.

Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C, Nancy studied drama all through high school and later attended the Breck Academy and The Vancouver Arts Club Theatre Program, as well as various workshops in Los Angeles.

She started her career in live theatre, starring in numerous Fringe plays and winning a BC Drama Fest Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Standing On My Knees. She expanded into the world of television with varied and diverse roles on such programs as Dead like Me, The Addams Family, Showtime's Beggars and Choosers, Hollywood Off-ramp on the E Channel, and as a series regular on Fox TV's Los Luchadoras to name just a few. As well, she lent her talents to several movies-of-the-week.

Some feature films include Air Bud, Are We There Yet and as the hilarious loose cannon Harriet in the award winning film The Delicate Art of Parking, a role which earned her a Leo Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress. She also has a love of independent film, having appeared in such shorts as Mall Man and Organ Music.

Nancy has been nominated for two other Leo Awards for her role as the brilliantly booksmart, but socially stunted Wanda on Corner Gas. Nancy's work as Wanda also earned her a Canadian Comedy Award nomination. As a member of the Corner Gas ensemble cast, she has also been nominated for a Gemini and an International Emmy Award.

Nancy still makes her home in Vancouver, and when the mood strikes her, she drops in and plays with the renowned improv company, Vancouver Theatresports, where she has been a popular mainstage player for quite some time and a member of the winning team at the International Improv Tournament on several occasions.
