Charli Birdgenaw (actra)

Charli Birdgenaw is a quadruple-threat performer who has worked on the Quebec, Canadian and International entertainment scene since the age of three. Acting, singing, dancing and playing violin, Charli's natural talent and down-to-earth likability make her a joy to behold as she shares her youthful energy.

Recently, Charli has appeared in a Pizza Pops spot currently running on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube each one blowing up views in the millions almost overnight!  For this Nova Film shoot she had the great fortune of being directed by François Lallier. Charli will appear in the upcoming film Best Sellers starring Michael Caine and Aubrey Plaza, and directed by Montrealer Lina Roessler. She will also appear in the upcoming Disney+ reboot Home Alone. Charli played the lead role, Jesus, in Godspell for the Segal Center Academy this past Spring and she was happy to take on the lead in the latest FACE School theatre production, A Zombie Apocalypse. Her love is the stage although she truly loves working equally in films, as she does television and voiceover work…all of it really! She appears as lead female voice in the animated feature Pachamama produced by Didier Brunner as well as a small voice role as Nechtu for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Origins. Charli has traveled to various film festivals, including Berlinale appearing as a guest speaker for two award winning Canadian short films in which she played lead roles.

Charli trains almost daily in 5 styles of dance and is an accomplished musician and singer. A student at Montreal's renowned FACE School, she is a member of both Orchester Symphonique FACE (OSF) and Dragan Djerkic's String Orchestra, contributing her skill on violin to both ensembles. She has traveled to Vienna, Munich ,Prague, Barcelona and Paris singing solo as well as playing violin with her orchestra. She has been fortunate to perform back up violin to Utah duo The Piano Guys at Theater St-Denis and to once provide live back-up vocals for Quebec music legend Michel Rivard.

Charli is more than grateful for her many teachers, coaches and mentors and knows that it is because of them that she continues to have all of these remarkable opportunities & amazing experiences.
