Elizabeth Whitmere is a Canadian actress working in the United States and Canada. Born in northern Canada, she draws on her experiences there, in the Maritimes, in Montreal, and in Massachusetts in the development of her characters and her stand-up comedy routines.
Whitmere appeared in her first play before she was ten, and spent her high school years training at Walnut Hill School, a performing arts boarding school in Natick, Massachusetts. After working in Montreal for some years and finding that her French was not sufficient to give her access to a wide range of parts, Wetmore moved her base of operations to Toronto in 2004. She now divides her time between Toronto and Los Angeles.
