Rebecca Davis

Biography

Date of Birth 24 April 1980, Cobourg, Ontario, Canada Height 5' 5½" (1.66 m) Rebecca was born in the small and lovely town of Cobourg, Ontario, where most of her childhood years were devoted to writing and performing plays with her friends, figure skating, and occasionally getting bucked off her temperamental, but adored, pony Lady Jane. As she moved into her teens she continued pursuing her interest in drama and performed in many regional and youth theatre productions. However, her other love, figure skating, took front seat at this time, and at the age of 16 Rebecca moved to Toronto to receive more high-level competitive training. By the time she was 18 she was nationally ranked, and by 19 she was touring internationally with Disney on Ice. After 2 years of rather adventurous touring through the US, Japan and South East Asia, Rebecca made the decision to hang up her skates and put all her focus on acting, which she was very much missing. Her formal training actually began in fabulous Sydney, Australia, where she found herself after the completion of her tour. Here she studied acting with John Noble, voice with Bill Pepper (NIDA), and landed roles in a series of short films. After a year and a half in Sydney, Rebecca returned to Toronto where she continued to study acting and pursue her career. At this time she also completed her Honours BA at the University of Toronto. Her first break came with a small role in acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan's "Where the Truth Lies", in which she got to work opposite Kevin Bacon, an experience she is very grateful for. Since then she has continued to build her career, working in film, television, and theatre. When not acting, she enjoys yoga, frolics on the beach, and a good glass of bubbly.
