Calum Worthy

 Early life

Worthy was born in Victoria, British Columbia. He attended Lochside Elementary, Royal Oak Middle and Claremont/SIDES Secondary schools. At the age of 9 he was accepted into Tarlington Training Professional Children's class and spent the next five years travelling to Vancouver to attend the weekend program. He decided he wanted to become an actor at the age of four, after watching Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. A triple threat, Calum has been performing on stage as a singer, dancer and actor since the age of 5. He studied Voice, Tap, Jazz and Piano. He won the Canadian National Young Composer’s Award (piano) when he was 11 years old.

He has since completed more than 50 different Film and TV projects, and has worked in five different countries – Canada, USA, Australia, England, and Singapore. Equally comfortable in dramatic and comedic roles, he has won Two Young Artist Awards, and a Leo Award (Canada) for “Leading Actor” roles.
