Actress Lisa Durupt is a queen of Christmas movies, an empress of the quirky corner, and a venerated dramatic powerhouse. Since her breakout role as the villainous Shandra in Mark McKinney’s Less Than Kind – which earned her a Gemini nomination and multiple Leo noms – Lisa has thrived in network, studio, and indie projects like Preggoland, Sunnyhearts Community Centre, Murder, She Baked, Heartland, Benchwarmers 2, The Chronicle Mysteries, and seemingly every other Christmas movie filmed in Vancouver. In 2018, Lisa founded Tricities Film Studios, the first-ever dedicated film acting training studio in the suburbs of the GVRD – and despite the acting and the studio, she somehow still finds time to lace up for multiple Hockey Helps the Homeless fundraising events and parent her toddler. In this rollicking episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, Lisa lays out her origin story – from ringette player on the prairies to Vancouver screen scene mainstay – and talks #COVIDlife, the Hallmark of it all, her Winnipeg roots, what she’s learned from Alison Sweeney, and why bidets rule.
