Victoria Zhu
- Actress
Born in Montreal, Quebec, Victoria Zhu's first acting role was Joseph
in a school pageant during grade 3. However, she focused on training in
classical piano and fine arts, and was described as a rather
introverted and shy child. In high school she auditioned for plays and
musical theater productions but never got cast, later receiving the
opportunity to be a pianist for 'The Fantasticks'. Victoria has
participated in the 2005 Miss Canada Teen Global pageant and 2009 Miss
Chinese Vancouver pageant, which inspired her to pursue further
education at the University of British Columbia. She experienced her
first acting class in college, where she fell in love with the art.
Victoria then continued to take classes around Vancouver and worked on
a few student and independent films before landing a lead role in the
student film 'Loved', which won Best Student Film award at the Los
Angeles Film and Script Festival that year. Upon auditing a Larry Moss
workshop in early 2011, Victoria decided to put university on hold to
pursue full-time training at Vancouver Acting School. In addition to
acting, Victoria is passionate about competing in international style
ballroom dancing.
