Biography

  • Craig was born in Halifax, N.S. but spent most of his life growing up in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada.

    Inspired by Marlon Brando's performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire", he hit the stage for the beginnings of his career. Some years later (having performed in many classical and contemporary pieces incl. Eric Bogosian's one-man-show "Drinking in America") and after fulfilling a strong itch to direct (Woody Allen's "God" and Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet"), he found himself in Toronto for what would turn out to be the next 15 years of his life. There he worked with many talented people including being cast as "Soranzo" in acclaimed stage director Jackie Maxwell's production of "'Tis Pity She's A Whore". After having been accepted to study under world renowned actor and teacher Uta Hagen for 6 weeks, he came to his second major pivot and moved from stage to film/TV.

    Now, a sea change later on the beautiful west coast of Canada (Vancouver), he's added voice work to the toolbox. You can hear him as the pep speech giving coach in EA Sports' official trailer for NHL 16 along with many other projects!
