Simon Longmore
Actor, Writer, Producer, and Director
Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, England, Simon Longmore is an actor, writer, producer, and director based in Vancouver, B.C. From a young age, Simon has always had a love for film. His first film experience was as an extra in Sylvester Stallone’s ‘Rocky 3’ and his first notable role came on the hit series ‘The X-Files’. Since then, he has appeared in numerous projects including Stargate: Atlantis, Supernatural, The Good Wife, Hell on Wheels, Bates Motel, and Arrow.
Since the mid-90s Simon has also been involved in teaching, providing workshops across North America and Europe, and founded the Vancouver Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1999. Directed by Cliff Skelton, his current project, Not Your Average Bear, tells the story of John Sullivan, a desperate man and the most unlikely of culprits, who pulls off a daring robbery. The short has been selected for 33 film festivals in 2020 so far and has already won over 17 awards and counting. It was a pleasure to catch up with Simon to discuss the project further.
