Kandyse McClure
Best known for playing Anastasia Dualla on the Emmy Award-winning smash hit Battlestar Galactica, Kandyse continues to be drawn to roles that are physically challenging and offer her the opportunity for creative, as well as personal growth. "Acting for me is about the craft, and more than that," she explains. "It has always been a journey of self exploration and self discovery."
Since being discovered by renowned Canadian actor-director William B. Davis during her debut theatre performance of Athol Fugards Valley Song, Kandyse has been privileged to collaborate with many talented, generous artists working on a number of deeply rewarding projects.

Between shoots, Kandyse sings, paints and practices yoga. She also enjoys decorating her home and experimenting in the kitchen. She still makes frequent trips back to her native South Africa where she sits on her grandmothers porch (once her make believe stage as a child during Apartheid) to reflect in awe about the blessings life has brought her way.
Since Battlestar Galactica ended she has starred in the re-make of the horror classic Children of the Corn, was the leading lady in Carl Bessai's film Cole, and was a Series Regular on NBC's Person's Unknown.
Previously she has performed guest appearances on SyFy's Sanctuary and CW's Reaper. She has filmed the cable features Framed (in the Bahamas with Rob Lowe and Sam Neill) and Passion and Prejudice (in Halifax, Nova Scotia opposite Francis Fisher). She also appeared for two seasons on NBC's Just Deal; was in 22 episodes of FOX Family's Higher Ground, and recurred (as Elizabeth opposite Malcolm Jamal Warner) on the MGM/Showtime series Jeremiah.
She has been nominated for a LEO Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Feature Length Drama for her portrayal of Sue Snell (played by Amy Irving in the original) in NBC's mini series remake of Carrie.
Other recent credits include the SyFy movie The Last Jinn, The List opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt, the feature The Disposables, and Brett Ratner's Mother's Day. Recently she appeared CBC's Republic of Doyle.
