Calem MacDonald

Actor · Born August 11, 2000 (26) · Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Calem MacDonald has been around the film and television industry his entire life. He learned the tricks of the trade from his father, a veteran camera operator with over three decades of experience, and from working with his family's motion picture support company, Take One Atlantic Inc. Yet Calem's calling would lead him to the front of the camera, and at 15, he booked his first TV co-star role on the long-running CBC hit, "Mr. D," alongside comedian Gerry Dee. This would be followed by a role on the Netflix' cult-favorite, "Trailer Park Boys" and a guest star role on CBC's award-winning series "The Detectives." In 2018, Calem's stand-out talent earned him a coveted place as 1 of only 10 international actors in the 'SceneBot' industry showcase in Los Angeles. But Calem's big break would come when he booked the recurring role as 'Young Dave' in the critically-acclaimed Netflix-original drama, "Umbrella Academy." This was quickly followed by a series-regular role on all 3 seasons of CBC's family-drama, "Moonshine", where he plays the son of Emmy Award winning actress Jennifer Finnigan. Calem's makes his big screen debut in Jason Eisener's "Kids vs. Aliens" scheduled for release in January 2023 in theaters and on horror/thriller streaming service, Shudder. When he is not honing his craft, Calem also works as a Flight Instructor. He teaches aspiring pilots and helps them earn a private, or commercial pilots license. He is also an avid ice hockey player. He fine-tuned his skills playing high-level competitive hockey between the ages of seven and 18. Calem is represented by CESD (Los Angeles), (Sky Talent Group (Halifax), and Symington Talent Management (Los Angeles).
