Gord Craig \/ Leader-Post<\/em><\/p>\n

Saskatchewan\u2019s Julia Voth is the whole package.<\/p>\n

Model, video game character, actress, singer, poet \u2014 she even has designs on moving to the other side of the camera.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of really talented people here in L.A.,\u201d Voth said from her residence in Los Angeles. \u201cYou either have to be really, really great at just one thing or you have to be just good at everything. You have to be a jack of all trades down here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Voth, who was born in Saskatoon, starred in front of the camera at an early age.<\/p>\n

\u201cModelling for me, it came more natural. I always loved being in front of a camera,\u201d Voth said. \u201cMy dad (Ken Voth) always had the video camera going when we were kids and taking pictures. Just being in front of the camera and performing was a natural thing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Always interested in modelling and acting, and while going to school in Hepburn, 30 minutes north of Saskatoon, Voth attended an acting\/modelling convention in Vancouver in November of 1999. That\u2019s where she was discovered by an agent from Tokyo, who offered her a two-month contract to model in Tokyo. Off she went to Tokyo in January of 2000 with her mom Kelli, and a modelling career was born.<\/p>\n

Most of the next decade was spent in Tokyo and New York, modelling for the likes of Calvin Klein and Guess. While in Tokyo she was also selected to be the face of Resident Evil\u2019s iconic character Jill Valentine.<\/p>\n

Having achieved great success on the runway, Voth moved to Los Angeles six years ago to pursue her passion for acting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a pretty easy transition for me,\u201d Voth said. \u201cIt took me about a year before I got an agent and starting going out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my fifth theatrical audition. I booked a little cult film called Bitch Slap.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film showed at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival and the Idyllwild Festival of Cinema, where she won best actress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was really my first acting gig as the lead in a movie,\u201d Voth said. \u201cSo I just kept doing it. I loved it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did take modelling classes when I was younger, but for me that was more of a natural skill \u2014 acting definitely I\u2019ve been studying and honing my craft in L.A. I enjoy it, so I think that\u2019s why it seems so easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Voth says she\u2019s actually travelled more for acting than modelling because she basically stayed in Tokyo and New York for modelling.<\/p>\n

She also played a young Carrie Ann Moss in Love Hurts and had TV roles on CW Network\u2019s Supernatural and ABC\u2019s Huge and Castle.<\/p>\n

Next up for Voth is a new sitcom on Citytv called Package Deal, in which she plays one of the lead roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly didn\u2019t think I was going to get it,\u201d Voth said of landing the role of Kim. \u201cI didn\u2019t have any sitcom experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the funniest person \u2014 I was just more of myself in that audition. I\u2019ve done a lot of action. I\u2019ve done a lot of sort of like zombies films and movies, shorts and action stuff which I love but I hadn\u2019t done much comedy,\u201d continued Voth. \u201cWhen I got it (the part) and I got on set and we were in front of the live audience and I heard everyone laughing, it was just electrifying and made me feel so alive and so good.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just realized that I loved comedy just as much if not more than the action stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The part seemed to be just right for Voth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started playing Kim it felt so natural.\u201d<\/p>\n

Voth gushes about the show and its characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a central story that\u2019s a love story with Kim and Danny (Randal Edwards) and they really love each other and they want to make it work, but there\u2019s these two crazy brothers that are always wrecking everything and getting in the middle of the romantic situations and not allowing them to live their lives,\u201d Voth said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a strong critic of my own work and the projects that I\u2019m in because I take a lot of pride in what I do. I have to say I\u2019m so proud of the show, It\u2019s really good. I\u2019m really excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Package Deal does seem to have a good time slot on Mondays following How I Met Your Mother, but it is up against U.S. network shows The Voice and Dancing with the Stars.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to support Canadian talent,\u201d claims Voth, who says the show was totally Canadian. \u201cWe need to support our talent because we export so much. I\u2019m a perfect example \u2014 there\u2019s no work for me in Canada so I had to move to LA. I found work here which ironically brought me back to Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Voth call the sitcom an American-style show.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have a show like this that is traditionally an American-style show \u2014 to be done flawlessly in Canada is a really awesome feat,\u201d Voth said. \u201cI hope that Canadians that see it love it. I hope we get a second season and show the world how awesome Canadian television can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

She would like the show to last beyond its first 13 episodes, the first of which aired Monday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the show \u2014 I want a Season 2, I want a Season 10. Wouldn\u2019t that be amazing? Basically the first prime-time Canadian sitcom took off and was in America and stood up against Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. It would be incredible. I am so behind this show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Down the line we may see something produced by Voth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s my goal,\u201d Voth admits. \u201cI would love to have a production company and one day produce my own things and put myself in them. Because the audition process is just horrible \u2014 I hate auditioning; it\u2019s weird and I don\u2019t like doing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be the boss. and then I can pick the roles that I want to do and produce those films and put myself in them and be a producer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
