Early this morning, we learned of the tragic passi Early this morning, we learned of the tragic passing of Eric Bauza. On behalf of ACTRA Toronto – of which Eric was a member for almost 25 years – we would like to share our deepest condolences to Eric's family and friends. While fans will remember and dearly miss Eric's dazzling talent, his memory will live on in the countless performances he gave to this world. The voice community in Toronto, Los Angeles and abroad are all mourning the loss of a friend, described by many as kind and generous. We at ACTRA Toronto knew this well. In spring 2024, Eric brought his story of animation glory to our Voice Committee, a memory that will be cherished. He was and will remain a mentor to those who carry his legacy forward. May he rest in peace. ~ACTRA Toronto President Kate Ziegler

We have the talent, creators, and extraordinary stories—but not enough infrastructure connecting them with the audiences who could become their greatest advocates. This panel delves into the Reelworld Phase 1 report Findings and Strategic Framework of building a Star System for English Canada, funded by Canada Media Fund. The report maps the ecosystem surrounding English-Canadian screen talent and identifies the gaps limiting actors’ visibility and audience growth. Get a first look at the report and explore what it will take to turn Canadian talent into household names.⁠
