I first met Emilie Ullerup when she was playing the role of Ashley Magnus in the Science Fiction series Sanctuary, back in 2007, just before she took the role of Kaitlin Joyce in the CBC adaptation of Douglas Coupland’s book JPod. I interviewed her (and the rest of the main actors) in character while on the set of Sanctuary. It was pretty interesting, and I got to see her do some great work. I remember the fight choreographer being amazed at how quickly she learned the moves. It was no wonder she has been such a successful action heroine. She struck me as a great young talent. And considering how busy she's been since she moved here from Denmark and graduated from the VFS Acting Essentials and Acting for Film & Television programs, it's apparent that many others agree.
I spoke again with Emilie Ullerup back in February 2012 for the Vancouver Film School (VFS) main blog about her education and her experience as an actress in Canada, and where she sees herself going next. She currently plays the role of Astrid in the Canadian drama series Arctic Air, which has been renewed for another season. Emilie is an intelligent, versatile and fierce actress. She was great to talk with. You can read the full interview here on the VFS blog.
