Starring: JR Bourne

Over the last decade, JR Bourne has established himself as one of the most sought after actors in Canada. He has worked alongside Laura Linney and Tom Wilkinson in “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”, in “Sisters” with Chloe Sevigny and Stephen Rea, and starred in “Six Figures”, an adaptation of the best selling novel by Fred Lebron (Toronto International Film Festival 2005). JR won The Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actor and received a Leo Nomination for his performances in both Douglas Copeland’s original screenplay “Everything’s Gone Green” (Toronto International Film Festival 2006) and for his portrayal of the heroin addicted ‘Cliffie’ in Nathaniel Geary’s “On the Corner” (Toronto International Film Festival 2004).

JR has been working non-stop since he moved to Los Angeles last year and is most proud of his work as ‘Truman’ in “Chronic Town.” During JR’s down time, he coaches and mentors young inspiring artists with the Cucumber Satellite Theatre and Film Society.
