Karine Vanasse

Biography

Karine Vanasse is a Canadian actress from Drummondville, Québec, who started performing as a child, winning a lip sync contest that led to a place on the Quebec teen program Club des 100 watts. Commercials, minor parts in French-Canadian television movies, and co-hosting duties on the children's science show Les Petits Debrouillards followed. Her first big screen role came as Hanna in Emporte-moi (1999), which traveled to festivals around the world and brought her a best actress prize at Quebec's Gala of Jutra. She then took on the contentious series 2 frères, the feature Games of the Heart, and the drama Séraphin: un homme et son péché, before acting alongside Charlize Theron and Penélope Cruz in Head in the Clouds (2004). She also worked in theater, in French and Canadian productions.
