Kim Roberts | From Theatre to Television...

Mick Hunt
About this episode

Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of "Mick Unplugged." I’m your host, Mick Hunt. Today we have a super exciting guest joining us—Kim Roberts. For those of you who may not know, Kim has an incredible background rooted deeply in her Caribbean culture, which has shaped her journey in ways she’ll share with us today. From her university days, where she helped form strong communities, to her breakout role on the beloved show "Schitt's Creek," Kim's story is as inspiring as it is unique.

We'll dive into her favorite roles, including her current passion project at the Stratford Festival, and get into the nitty-gritty of voice acting versus theatrical performance. Kim will also reflect on her experiences facing racial isolation growing up in Canada, and how she found her way into the world of acting, despite early aspirations to become a doctor or lawyer. Stick around as Kim talks about her personal interests, like cooking her favorite curry chicken, and her current and upcoming projects, including a special film debuting soon on Paramount Plus.

To top it all off, we'll hear a heartwarming Thanksgiving anecdote and Kim's gratitude for the audience’s continuous support. And there might even be some light-hearted banter about her character’s pet Chick Aletta from "Paw Patrol." So, get ready to be inspired by Kim's perseverance and dedication to her craft, and maybe even pick up some tips on finding success and purpose. Let's jump right in!


Takeaways:

·       Acting is like breathing; it's essential to me.

·       Mentorship is about sharing wisdom and opening doors.

·       Cultural identity shapes our experiences and perspectives.

Sound Bites:

·       “Voice acting allows for creative freedom without physical constraints.”
