About Rebecca:

Rebecca Lamarche is no stranger to entertainment working in many facets of the industry as a Filmmaker, Casting Director, Producer, and Actress. Rebecca is taking the stage in the new movie, "Sappy Holiday" which premieres on December 17th on UPtv!

In the last year alone, Rebecca held roles in three different TV movies. The first, a rom-com entitled “Fit for a Prince,” which premiered across Hallmark Channel on March 6th, 2021.  Within the upcoming flick, Rebecca plays the supporting role of socialite ‘Brooke Hamilton’ who lives in Ottawa’s iconic Château Laurier. The film also stars actors Natalie Hall (playing the seamstress-turned-love-interest) and Jonathan Keltz (playing the prince). Rebecca’s two other films include Super Channel’s ‘Heart & Home’ romance “My Boss’ Wedding” (March 27th, 2021 and Lifetime’s thriller “Deadly Mom Retreat” from MarVista Entertainment.

Rebecca was born and raised in Canada, natively speaking both English and French. Her Dalhousie University studies informed her work on both sides of the camera making her an intuitive filmmaker and performer. From network television to indie features, Rebecca doesn't compromise when it comes to telling great stories; putting passion and dedication into every project she does coupled with an easy-going "Canadian" sensibility. As a filmmaker, Rebecca has made it a priority for years to push inclusive casting and champion people of color both on-screen and in remuneration. Prior to the BLM Movement, she sat on a panel in May 2020 for the Toronto BIPOC TV & Film community to discuss the TV ‘Movie Of The Week’ genre, representation, and opportunities.

Rebecca can also be seen acting and producing in the Shudder indie film “Anything for Jackson,” which gained traction in the 2020 festival circuit. Her additional recent acting projects for TV movies include: Home for Harvest, Love Alaska, and A Very Corgi Christmas. While her recent casting and producing credits include: The Wedding Planners (TV series), Romance In The Wilds (TV movie), Christmas Exchange, and Christmas in the Rockies.

In the hopes of pursuing her passion for action films in the future, Rebecca decided to start her firearms training in 2012. She was selected by the Canadian Defense & Foreign Affairs Institute and Canadian Forces to complete the Canadian Military Journalism Course where she studied and was trained in military reporting. Then in 2019, she earned her Restricted and Non-Restricted Firearms License. Most recently, in 2020, she earned her Black Badge and started competitive pistol shooting (9mm). In her spare time, Rebecca enjoys spending time practicing the craft, taking walks with her dogs, traveling, reading, practicing hot yoga, and participating both equestrian polo and vaulting.
