Fantasia 2019 – Interview with Harpoon Actor Munro Chambers

True Canadian Actor

Fantasia 2019 - Interview with Harpoon Actor Munro Chambers

Acting in Canada can be a challenge. While there is a strong film scene, and many films are shot here, it can be hard to identify iconic Canadian actors. Actors that take the craft above fame, working to better their careers while always picking roles that are fun, interesting, and enjoyable for the audience.

Munro Chambers is one such actor. Known for his work on Degrassi and Turbo Kid, he has built a name for himself working within Canada and throughout the world. Now starring in the thriller Harpoon—most recently shown at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal—we had the pleasure of speaking to him on a phone call. Talking about Horror and genre cinema along with acting in general, Munro gives us a look at what it takes to excel as an actor in Canada.

CGMagazine: What brought you to Harpoon and what made you say “yes” to being a part of it?

Munro Chambers: [I was] originally with Mike Peterson in Knuckleball, and Rob Grant had edited Knuckleball. They had a script, which was Harpoon, and I think Peterson originally saw Jonah and my face kept popping up for the part. So he talked to Rob, Rob talked to me, we discussed the character in the film and showed him what I was thinking for the role and how I wanted to play it and the rest was history.
