Ali Liebert is a talented young actress who has quickly become one of Canada’s biggest rising stars. Raised in Duncan, British Columbia, Ali had a keen interest in performing from a very early age. Ever since Donny Osmond captivated her heart in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at the tender age of 10 years old, she knew the stage was where she was meant to be. Especially if it meant she could be friends with Donny.
Ali was so passionate about singing, dancing and acting, that she dedicated her post-secondary education to honing her craft. She auditioned and was accepted into The Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria and completed the intensive Musical Theatre Program, graduating with honors. Ali’s classes at the fame-esque performing arts school included acting for stage/film/television, improv, physical theatre, writing, all forms of dance (tap being her favorite), musical theatre performance and film studies. Ali was quick to land an agent right after graduation, and made the move to Vancouver to pursue her acting career full-time.
It was a slow start for Ali, but her persistence paid off and soon she was booking gigs and appearing in television shows and films internationally. Her small screen credits include roles on Dead Like Me, The L Word, The 4400, Whistler, Fallen, Blood Ties, Huff, Cold Squad, Robson Arms, Psych and recurring roles on Intelligence, Young Blades and Kyle XY. In 2009, she landed a series-regular role playing Nikki Bolton on the new CBS horror/drama Harper’s Island after Executive Producer Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) handpicked her for his high profile show.
Some of her film credits include Sandra Nettleback’s Helen (starring Ashley Judd), Ron Oliver’s All She Wants for Christmas, The Secret Lives of Second Wives (starring Rescue Me’s Andrea Roth), and The Break-Up Artist, with fellow Canadian actress Amanda Crew. Ali had a very busy 2008! In addition to The Break-Up Artist, she also completed work on 3 other films. Alongside funny man Will Sasso, she was cast in a fantastic role in Sook-Yin Lee’s feature film debut, Year of the Carnivore as well as the upcoming Cuba Gooding Jr. feature Hardwired and Blaine Thurier’s film A Gun to the Head. Year of the Carnivore and A Gun to the Head premiered at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.
Most recently Ali appeared on the season premiere of FOX’s new hit show, Human Target as well as an episode of Fringe. Ali also completed filming two leading roles on two different pilots for the APTN network. Wolf Canyon and Health Nutz are both awaiting series pick ups. In May, Ali will be travelling to Cache Creek, BC to film an exciting supporting role in Mike Clattenburg’s (Trailer Park Boys) new film, Afghan Luke and the Burgundy of Hash.
Ali splits her time between Vancouver and Los Angels and her favourite pastimes include traveling, singing along to musical theatre soundtracks, photography and going to the movies with her besties. Currently she is obsessed with Friday Night Lights, French bulldogs, and the lattes at Caffé Artigiano. Ali has yet to meet Donny.
