Episode 2: Kandyse McClure
We’re super excited to share our conversation with the talented (and stunning) actor Kandyse McClure. Sitting in the co-host seat with Gary on this edition is Pooni Group Marketings’s Director of Communications Janine Verreault.
Kandyse was born in South Africa and spent many years travelling back and forth before eventually putting down roots in Greater Vancouver where she now calls New West home. On this podcast, Kandyse shares stories about how she got her start in Hollywood North, the 20-year anniversary of Battlestar Galactica, and her current role on Netflix’s hugely successful TV series, Virgin River.
Kandyse also reveals which celeb she’s been mistaken for, what she most often gets recognized for, and what she believes is her worst performance—you won’t want to miss this!
