Kimberly Laferriere is a Canadian actor from Quebec, who has performed in both french and english.[1]

She performed in her first feature film, an English language film, Winter Lily, in 2000, when she was 14 years old.[1] She splits her time between Toronto, Ontario, Montreal, Quebec and Los Angeles.[2][3][4]

In 2013 a touring company was performing in a play based on J.M. Coetzee’s novel Waiting for the Barbarians.[5] One of the actors, Chiedza Mhende, from Zimbabwe, was not able to get a visa for Canada, and Laferriere stepped in to take her role.

In 2017 Laferriere played a francophone visitor to Toronto in the experimental film White Night.[6]

Laferriere played Natasha, in Fugueuse, a more experienced sex-trade worker, who shows a teen-age runaway the ropes.[3] In a 2018 interview she predicted that viewers of season two would come to see that her character was also a victim.

In 2020 Laferriere starred in a webseries, Féminin Féminin, by Chloé Robichaud.[7]

de Natacha donnera l’idée à d’autres réalisateurs de faire appel à ses services.
