Calem MacDonald

Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Calem MacDonald has been around the film and television industry his entire life. He learned the tricks of the trade from his father, a veteran camera operator with over three decades of experience, and from working with his family's motion picture support company, Take One Atlantic Inc. Yet Calem's calling would lead him to the front of the camera, and at 15, he booked his first TV co-star role on the long-running CBC hit, "Mr. D," alongside comedian Gerry Dee. This would be followed by a role on the NETFLIX' cult-favorite, "Trailer Park Boys" and a guest star role on CBC's award-winning series "Detectives." In 2018, Calem's stand-out talent earned him a coveted place as 1 of only 10 international actors in the 'SceneBot' industry showcase in Los Angeles. But Calem's big break would come when he booked the recurring role as 'Young Dave' in the critically-acclaimed NETFLIX-original drama, "Umbrella Academy." This was quickly followed by the series-regular role on CBC's newest family-drama, FEUDAL where he plays the son of Emmy Award winning actress Jennifer Finnigan. Calem's other credits include a supporting role in the comedic feature film 'Stage Mother' and a supporting lead role in the gritty coming-of-age dramatic film "Night Blooms." When he is not honing his craft, Calem can be found at Mount Allison University in pursuit of a Bachelor of Science in Aviation and his private and commercial pilot licenses. He also loves watching movies, playing video games with his younger brother Logan, fishing, bouldering, and tinkering with his car. Calem is also an avid ice hockey player. He fine-tuned his skills playing high-level competitive hockey between the ages of seven and 18. Calem is represented by Sky Talent Group (Halifax) and Symington Talent Management (Los Angeles).
