Corey Lof
as Kenny
Born and raised in the farms and fields of rural Ontario, growing up, Corey took any chance he could to go to the city, a city, any city. First, adopting St. Catherine’s as his second home, attending highschool there, skateboarding there, lounging at sud skates there, and eventually moving there, briefly, living with a friend, in a filthy basement apartment, to frolic in his youth. After highschool however, Corey found there was little opportunity for him in his recently discovered passion – film – and began travelling to Toronto to audition for any indie projects that would see him. Corey ended up attending an Acting for Film and Television Program at Niagara College, which he graduated from in April of 2010. Since then, Corey has signed with The Bella Agency out of Toronto, and has starred and been featured in several projects and commercials shooting out of Toronto and the surrounding area, including a feature film that will be coming to theaters early 2012. Corey also is an avid writer, and wrote and directed a short film of his own about the strange ways people deal with tragedy entitled, Mourning. When asked why he loves acting, Corey says, “It’s fun, its always something new, and it never gets easy, never gets boring.” His career is just beginning, and if you ask him, there is no end in sight!
