Kandyse McClure (b. 1980 in the Republic of South Africa) is an African-Canadian actress.

Born and raised in South Africa, she became a popular young star through the teen-oriented Fox Family series Higher Ground (along with Hayden Christensen), as well as the NBC's Saturday-morning series Just Deal, after scoring a lead role with her first ever audition, playing opposite Lou Diamond Phillips in the 1999 telefilm In a Class of His Own. This "young Halle Berry" has gone on to become a rising star through her recurring character Elizabeth Munroe on Showtime's Jeremiah, and as Lieutenant Anastasia "Dee" Dualla on the Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica.

Born in South Africa and as of 2005 living in Vancouver, British Columbia, McClure also won acclaim from a host of major newspaper critics for her role as Sue Snell in the 2002 telefilm remake of Stephen King's Carrie.

[edit] Battlestar Galactica

In 2003, the cult series Battlestar Galactica was brought back to life, albeit in a reimagined form, as a four-hour miniseries. The project was written and produced by Ronald D. Moore, and directed by Michael Rymer. Kandyse McClure starred as Anastasia "Dee" Dualla, a Petty Officer Second Class in the Colonial Fleet, in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica (TV miniseries). The miniseries effectively served as pilot for a potential TV series. A series was then commissioned in a collaberative effort between the American Sci-Fi Channel and Sky TV (the British broadcaster). Battlestar Galactica is filmed mostly in Vancouver, Canada, and is currently in its third season, in which Kandyse McClure is a regular cast member.

Her character did not feature in the original 1978 series.
