Based in Toronto, Janet-Rose Nguyen is the filmmaker and host behind Second Act Actors, a series centering on professionals who pivot from fields like medicine, law, and sports into the performing arts. She deepens industry transparency through the Where Are They Now? series and investigates technical onset roles, such as her interview with intimacy coordinator Jen Viens. Her work frequently explores the intersection of previous career skills and artistic craft, evidenced by her sub-series focusing on 'doctor-actors' and professional athletes transitioning to screen. A recent highlight includes the Second Act Actors: Live at the Factory Theatre event, which brought together guests like Eric Johnson and Kathleen Munroe for a panel discussion on the Canadian film landscape. Nguyen’s background as an ACTRA member and festival panelist informs her focus on the business of acting, providing a resource for those navigating non-traditional career paths within the North American entertainment industry.
