For many U.S. residents, Canada is perceived as a deaf northern province of their own country, which can only supply super-talented hockey players to NHL clubs. However, sometimes through all the barriers and stereotypes quite talented actors make their way from there, occupying their niche in the Hollywood industry. Among them, Carey Matchett, whose biography is like a story about the American dream, occupies a worthy place. A girl from a distant northern village worked hard on her education, for which she even risked spending some time in Moscow, and as a result she became one of the sought-after actresses of high-quality television series.
Exemplary student of the Chekhov School of Theater Arts
Carey Matchett was born in 1970 in the village of Spalding, in the province of Saskatchewan. Like all girls, she dreamed of a scene, fame, fans, but in a provincial province, her dreams were quite difficult to fulfill. To begin with, Carey Matchett, rolled up her sleeves, began to work on her education.
She studied at a high school in Lethbridge, Alberta, after which she packed up and moved to Montreal.
In the largest city of Quebec and Canada, the girl began to attend the National Theater School, which she graduated with brilliant grades. Carey was not satisfied with this and made a non-standard decision to go to Russia. Born away from the Hollywood conveyors, she still respected Stanislavsky’s system and decided to study its foundations in the creator’s homeland.
Having reached the capital of Russia, Carey Mitchell entered the Moscow Theater School named after Chekhov, where she diligently studied all the required courses.
After graduating, the Canadian aspiring actress returned to her homeland, where she devoted herself to the theater. For three years, the girl dedicated the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, held in Ontario, where she honed her acting skills.
The first work on television
On television screens, the Canadian actress began to appear episodically back in the early nineties, but the first big role was overtaken by Carey Matchett in 1996, when the shooting of the series The Rez began, where she played Tanya Beckhert. A real northern woman, she held herself with dignity and was simply intended for images of cold and powerful ladies. It was hard to go past such a charismatic actress, and soon Carey Matchett got the opportunity to play the first violin in the series Power Play, which was successfully released from 1998 to 2000.
After the completion of the above-mentioned project, the Canadian television actress did not have to rest long in anticipation of new proposals. For several seasons, Carey Matchett played in the series Golden Spiders, where she repeatedly brought to life the images of fatal women with an icy look.
Spectators and critics praised the TV series "Miracle", which also was attended by a native of Saskatchewan.
Here she got the difficult role of a girl who has hot feelings for the sister of the protagonist. It is difficult to judge the attitude of Carey herself to lesbian love, but the topic was fully disclosed.

In North America, each actor has his own niche in the entertainment industry, a narrow specialization reigns in Hollywood. Actors who have been successful in television projects are subsequently doomed to work there, rarely receiving invitations from directors of feature films. This fate befell Cary Matchett, which most viewers perceive as an actress in the series. However, there are in her career and interesting work on the big screen.

The continuation of the cult science-fiction film “Cube 2: Hypercube” was filmed, and Carey Matchett was entrusted with the main role in the new film. The film, filled with hidden subtexts and difficult to understand, became an important stage in the work of the actress. After filming in "Hypercube", Carey Matchett for a long time became associated with Kate Filton - the main character of the picture.
In the 2000s, the Canadian star continues to star in various television projects.
