Eric Regimbald is a multidisciplinary artist known for crafting unique storytelling experiences. From filmmaking and stage performance to actor coaching and devising theatre in schools, Eric brings energy, passion, and a wealth of experience to every creative endeavour he undertakes.
Eric Regimbald has been working in the industry for over 15 years. He studied acting in Toronto at Straeon Acting Studios under the mentorship of Jock MacDonald and collaborated with the University of Toronto Theatre Program, performing in classical productions such as Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya and Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac. He also staged his own production of Adam Rapp’s Blackbird and appeared in multiple Toronto Fringe Festival shows—most notably making his writing debut with Just the Ticket at The Annex Theatre.
Eric’s career has taken him across the country as a performer, clown, and even a lumberjack. He eventually settled in Vancouver, BC, where his film and television career began to flourish. He has appeared in numerous notable TV series including Supergirl (The CW), UnREAL (Lifetime), DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (The CW), Lost Ollie (Netflix), and A Million Little Things (ABC). Never one to wait for the phone to ring, Eric recently completed a festival run with his self-written and directed short horror film Patty Cake, which screened in Toronto, Bogotá, Long Island, and Cincinnati.
Eric grew up in Guelph, Ontario, where his passion for storytelling began early. At 12, he created a 45-minute action film titled Nobody’s Real, shot over two weeks with friends, a camera, and youthful ambition. He went on to study theatre in the Ross Touring Players program at his arts high school, performing socially conscious plays that addressed topics such as suicide, bullying, and homophobia. His performance in A Permanent Solution earned him the Best Actor award at the 2006 Sears Ontario Drama Festival.
In 2007, Eric moved to Toronto to deepen his craft. Alongside continued training at Straeon Acting Studios, he wrote and produced his first play, Just the Ticket, for the Toronto Fringe Festival. He appeared in countless theatre productions and launched the comedy web series Van Damme Motors, which continues to entertain viewers on YouTube with two seasons.
In 2015, Eric relocated to Vancouver to work professionally as a clown, opening new creative doors. He collaborated with a range of artists and was invited to participate in Matthew Lillard’s weekend workshop at Vancouver Film School. His recent screen credits include roles opposite Mandy Patinkin in Career Opportunities in Murder & Mayhem (Hulu) and Hilary Swank in Alaska Daily (ABC).
Most recently, Eric wrote, produced, and performed his original one-man show Confessions of a Corporate Clown at Vancouver’s Carousel Theatre, which he plans to adapt into a film or mini-series.
