Born in 1972, Canadian actor Colin Ferguson began his career as a member of the improvisational troupe "On the Spot" in his native Montreal and helped found the Second City chapter in Detroit, MI, before making the leap to feature films in the late '90s. Early filmed projects included the features Rowing Through (1996) and Night Sins (1997) and the television miniseries More Tales of the City, as well as prominent roles in the celebrity-themed telemovie biopics Daydream Believers: The Monkees Story (2000) and Inside the Osmonds (2001).
