Thea Gill

Thea Gill is a Canadian actress who grew up in Vancouver and trained in theater performance at York University in Toronto, graduating in 1992. She spent her first years after school in Toronto, taking stage work, commercials, and guest spots on television. Her break came in 2000, when she was cast as Lindsay Peterson in the Showtime series Queer as Folk, a role she kept for all five seasons. Once the show finished, she moved between theater, television, and film, and in 2006 joined Dante's Cove as the special guest star Diana Childs. A jazz singer as well, she performed a solo engagement at Toronto's Top o' the Senator in 2002 and later appeared as a World War II-era singer in Richard Bell's Eighteen (2005), a performance whose song earned a Genie Award nomination. Her television work won her a Golden Sheaf Award in 2003 and a Leo Award in 2005, and she was nominated for an ACTRA Award.
