Zoie Palmer

Zoie Palmer stars as Canadian Coast Guard Rescue Specialist Carly Greig, a character she describes as ‘a walking contradiction.’ "She’s a fighter and tough and intelligent, motivated and loyal, but she’s also scared and vulnerable. I think Carly’s afraid of getting close to people because her experience has been that people leave. She’s interesting and complicated and I just love playing her."

Born in Wilthshire and raised in Cornwall, England, Palmer’s love of acting began at an early age, and she performed in numerous school plays and community theatre. Determined to follow her dream, Palmer moved to Toronto where she graduated from York University’s Theatre Program.

Palmer has appeared in an array of television productions, notably starring as Ronald Reagan’s daughter, Patti, in The Reagans, the critically-acclaimed MOW that caused a sensation and was nominated for a slate of Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe. Palmer also appeared in the Emmy Award-winning TV movie, Out of the Ashes, starred in the pilot Devil’s Perch, and, most recently, portrayed Goth musician Patsy in the series Instant Star. Palmer also starred in Snapshots for Henry, which was nominated for a Genie Award as Best Live Action Short Drama, and she was honoured with the Best Actor Award at the Baja California Film Festival for her performance in Terminal Venus, a short by Alexandre Franchi.
