Hi, I’m Catherine De Seve! I've been working as an actress in Montreal for 30 years and also in Toronto more recently.
Throughout my career, I’ve embraced a wide range of roles across drama and comedy, including the award-winning The Handmaid’s Tale and Bria Mack Gets a Life.
Each role has been an opportunity to explore the depth and complexity of the human spirit, whether by bringing joy and levity to help audiences escape their worries or offering powerful portrayals that encourage reflection and resilience. Hearing from people about how my work has helped them through life’s challenges is one of the greatest honors of my craft.
Twice nominated for the Gemeaux Awards for both comedy and drama, I’ve appeared in nearly 300 television episodes and 20 films. I hold an O-1B visa and I'm a member of SAG-AFTRA. Now based in LA, I'm really excited about what's possible in this community. I’m here to bring my energy and heart to stories that move, inspire and connect us.
