Although Michael Eklund had performed in the theatre in school he originally set out to be an artist and went to the Alberta College of Art. Later he moved to Vancouver to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Eklund’s passion for acting is fuelled by a love for film and he has established himself as a valuable character actor not only in film, but also in television. His role in the 2006 feature The Entrance, brought him a Best Actor award at the Pennsylvania Film Festival for his portrayal of a conscienceless, angst-ridden drug dealer who is slated for death and his attempt to repay for his sins.
