Actor
Karrie Kwong is a Chinese-Canadian ACTRA actor based in Toronto, Ontario.
Recent credits include The Recruit (Netflix), Fly Away With Me (Hallmark), and the 2022 TIFF’s official selection, North of Normal (Independent Edge Films).
Karrie is represented by Shortlist Artist Management. She has trained at the Second City, the IYA Studio for Actors, and with other local Toronto coaches in film, TV, improv, theatre, and scene study.
Karrie is…
Late 20’s, early 30’s. Smart, funny, ambitious, and dramatic.
The snarky but supportive best friend with a messy love life. The young, overachieving Type A who’s too often sabotaged by her own perfectionism.
Always a bubbly busy-body so she doesn’t have to sit in the sadness and quiet that’s just underneath the surface. She may appear sweet and innocent, but she has a wild and fierce side that doesn’t back down from confrontation if you go after her loved ones.

What Directors Are Saying
“Karrie is an enthusiastic and versatile actress who doesn’t hold back from giving her all. It was a great time to have her on set, and she added amazing value to the production. I'm excited to work with her again in the future!”
— Mehek Cazi
"Karrie is a pleasure to work with - she's able to deliver a performance that is both natural and authentic, and she takes direction well."
— Bobby Singh Brown, BSB Films
Karrie is incredibly professional and brought a level of nuance to playing our character better than we could have imagined. She was also a great teacher on set; we were able to learn so much from her insights on character and direction. The openness and courage she brought to our set shaped the tone of our film in a way that couldn't have been achieved without her.
— Nikita Zhang & Yvette Sin, Alligator Films
More About Karrie
If she’s not on set or in development for her production company, Karrie is rewatching her favourite sitcoms like Brooklyn Nine-Nine or The Mindy Project and cuddling on the couch with her Yorkie, JJ. When she’s feeling motivated to be active, she can be found at the kickboxing gym. She loves to travel—for the sights, but mostly for the food—and always feels as if she’s left her heart in Singapore.
