Reese McBeth is an actor, comedian and slam poet who started his acting career in TV and film at the age of 12. Reese originally trained as an actor to overcome shyness and get girls! His first teacher Jessica Van der Veen not only fostered his love of acting, and brought out his inner actor but sent him on a journey that would take him as far as New York and Los Angeles - training with some of the finest instructors around.Reese was fortunate to study with "acting coach to the stars" and author of "The Power of the Actor", Ivana Chubbuck. Reese says "Ivana has brought out things in me that have helped me as an actor, a writer and a comedian - not to mention in life itself."Reese has always had a love of writing and in 2005 he took a break from acting to pursue this passion. Reese created his own form of comedy/poetry called "slamedy" - which he performs regularly.Reese hails from New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada.
