Amanda Tapping

Amanda Tapping pictured as Dr. Helen Magnus from the Sanctuary series. Tapping moved to Toronto at the age of 3 and grew up wanting to perform. She graduated from the University of Windsor School of Dramatic Art and has appeared on stage in Steel Magnolias, Look Back in Anger, Children of A Lesser God, Noises Off, The Lion in Winter and The Shadow Walkers. She joined forces with Sanctuary creator Damian Kindler and Stargate Producer Martin Wood to fund what was originally a Web series. Its online popularity brought it to the attention of the Movie Network and Movie Central in Canada and the Syfy network in the United States. Tapping plays Dr. Helen Magnus on Sanctuary. In March of 2015, ACTRA, the national union of professional performers working in the English-language recorded media in Canada, named Amanda Tapping their 2015 Woman of the Year.
