Laurie Empey

Actor

(She/Her)

Laurie got the bug after she randomly was cast as a background hair-dresser in "Charlie's Angels - Behind the Scenes" and then three days working as John Ratzenberger's screen wife in "Monkey Up." Eventually, she was given the opportunity to work as a Stand-In for five days on a TV series pilot.
Laurie's career as a Stand-In soon followed as she worked on over ten MOWs (movies of the week) and a special Christmas episode of Murdoch Mysteries. As their stand-in, she worked alongside Jewel, Jennifer Finnegan, Courtney Thorne Smith, Helene Joy, and Megan Follows. Additionally, she has been a Stunt Performer/Double.
She has been honing her craft by taking acting classes and she continues to watch, listen, and learn whenever she has the privilege to be on a set. Recently, Laurie has become involved in writing, directing and producing her own films. She loves the film industry and has the utmost respect for the entire filmmaking process.
