Over that last few years Rebekah Miskin has become a highly sought after actresses in Canada for her incredible ability to tap in to the most challenging and complex characters with ease. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, the actress began her acting journey in her early teens, but her first introduction to the stage came in the form of dance much earlier.

“I started off as a dancer, taking my first dance class at age three,” said Rebekah Miskin. “At age thirteen, I asked my parents if I could enroll in a summer drama camp and luckily they obliged. From there I was hooked – but I always loved performing from the moment I stepped on a stage as a bumble bee in pre-primary ballet at age three.”

Passionate about the pivotal role acting plays in bringing stories to life, Rebekah has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft, something which has paid off for the young actress as she continues to land starring roles in films and theatrical productions alike.

“Great theatre, film and television, at its core, is about telling great stories that resonate with people. That’s why I love acting so much. It’s the ultimate way of connecting and understanding other people,” explained Rebekah.

Some of Rebekah Miskin’s film roles include Kate in Pooka, Lainie in Reviving Ophelia, Zoe in A Subsequent Life, as well as many others. The actress also plays Alma Parsons in the hit television series Murdoch Mysteries and Anna in Long Story, Short.

Earlier this year Rebekah guest starred as Nicole Williamson on the television show Mayday aka Air Emergency. Mayday, known in Australia, South Africa and Asia as Air Crash Investigation, is a documentary-style program produced by Cineflix, which investigates air crashes, hijackings, bombings and other disasters with a new story each episode. Currently on its 14^th season, Mayday has won a Gemini Award, as well as has been nominated for three Canadian Society of Cinematographers Awards.

The star of the episode entitled “First Air”, Rebekah wowed audiences with her incredible performance as Nicole Williamson. A heroic true story, the episode follows Rebekah in the role of Nicole, a 19-year-old passenger whose plane crashes into the side of a mountain in the middle of the Arctic. A formidable and courageous young woman, Nicole breaks both her foot and her pelvis in the crash, but she still manages to rescue the only other surviving passengers, a 6-year-old girl and a 45-year-old man, by carrying them out of the wreckage.

“It was really exciting because I was playing a person who actually exists,” said Rebekah. “The real Nicole Williamson is a true heroine. I guarantee it was much easier playing the TV version of Nicole than being the real Nicole rescuing two people from a burning plane, but it was so enthralling. It was very empowering for me to get to play the hero!”

An incredible actress with a huge career ahead of her, Rebekah Miskin also stars in the upcoming film Records for Maggie where she plays the role of Maggie. The film is set to be released next year.
