Claire Alan

Claire was born in the English town of Sevenoaks, Kent, and whilst in primary school became a student of Honours in acting through the certification program offered by the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts... where her love of acting was born! Having achieved 11 GCSE's Claire dropped out of her high school, and a further two more high schools, as she struggled to walk a path that led to a future without acting. When she was eighteen years old Claire and her family emigrated from England to Ontario, Canada, with her beloved Border Collie, Ben. Soon Claire left Toronto and moved to Vancouver to study acting at the Vancouver Film School, British Columbia. On completion of the introductory course to acting, her teachers advised Claire she was ready to become a professional actress with no need to continue her studies. So Claire moved back to Toronto and signed with one of Canada's leading agencies where she booked her first audition. Soon began a beautiful coincidence of booking many of her first auditions with Toronto's casting directors.
