Career

Niamh began her career with a role in the Warner Brother's pilot "Chasing Alice"[3] at the age of five. Although the TV Movie/pilot did not result in a series, she did meet the man, Ralph Hemecker, who was to direct her in Haunting Sarah two years later. Her portrayal of Sarah Lewis garnered her a Young Artist Award in 2006. While in Los Angeles for the awards she and her mother created a CBC Radio radio documentary for the Outfront program called "Child Star Goes to Hollywood"[4] about their road trip to Tinseltown. Niamh was cast in the ill fated TV series Ice Planet (Ice Planet (film) SpaceWorks Entertainment) as Commander Trager's (Michael Ironside) daughter.[5][6] She has appeared in numerous movies as well as episodic television, generally in dramatic adult-oriented vehicles, however a comedic role eluded her until she was cast in the title role of Debra Delong [7] in the Family Channel series Debra! produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment. The role was cast in 2010 when Niamh was only 12-years old. The pilot was shot in spring 2010; Family Channel picked up the series in summer 2010.[8][9][10] and the first season was filmed in January - February 2011. The first episode premiered on Family Channel Saturday, June 4, 2011.[11] Niamh won the Young Artist Award for Leading Actress in a TV Series for Debra! in May 2012; the series also won for Best Young Ensemble in a TV Series. This was the first time a TV series that was not aired in the United States had won these awards. [12]
