Born
and raised in
Cape
Breton
, Liam moved to Riverview in 1987 and city life began.
Liam was always spelunking in the FANTASTIC theatre during his time at
Riverview
Junior High School
. (Thanks Mrs. Cormier!) He chased a
girl over to Harrison Trimble and ran amok of Mr. Mike Granville.
He somehow convinced Mike to cast him in HTHS shows in grade 11 and
12…. Despite his stellar behavior on a school trip to
New York
.
After
a brief stint at St. F.X., where he was in every production put on by Theatre
Antigonish, he decided that academics weren’t where his future lay.
Liam moved back to
New Brunswick
and got connected to a local casting director for TV and Film. (This was after
a Gawd awful audition for TNB.) He got to work on a few CBC short films and a
short lived series Daring and Grace. Deciding
that he needed further training, if he was going to be serious about pursuing
acting, he took the plunge and moved to
Vancouver
where he studied at
Vancouver
Film
School
in their full time acting program. After
graduation he went on the study with many other professionals in the
Vancouver
market.
Liam
moved home to Riverview in 2005 and spends most days acting like a Wine Guru
at his family’s business The Good Guys Brew Shoppe.
He also got reconnected into the Maritime film scene and has been
working regularly in TV and film since his return.
He ran into Mike Granville again and got swept up into Mike’s new
endeavor called Hairy Tease. He’s
appeared in 3 productions; The Nerd, Love Sex and the I.R.S., and The
Foreigner. Look for Liam in “The
Wooden Pear” part of the upcoming Hairy Tease production of one act plays.
Favorite Hairy Tease Quote:
“Quick, lay down on the floor and I’ll cover your legs in shrimp
sauce so he’ll recognize you.”

Hammond, The Nerd
