Born in Toronto to a South African-Jewish family, JAMIE BLOCH discovered her passion for performing at the tender age of 6. Starting on stage, she appeared in a number of theatre productions that brought her out of her shell and into the spotlight. However, it soon became clear that film and television was where she really needed to be, and her love for acting blossomed into a lengthy resume of television and film credits 10 years in the making.

 

Now, Jamie can be seen as Yael Baron, a tech genius and aspiring entrepreneur, on all three seasons of Canadian cult classic Degrassi: Next Class. Jamie’s on screen versatility follows her through to The History of Love, where she brings to life the feisty supporting character of short-haired Brooklynite Zoey Schwartz in the critically-acclaimed feature film. These productions join some of her previous credits that include Wingin' It, Flirting with 40, The Killing Game, The Echo, Servitude, Warehouse 13, and animated TV shows Caillou and Mr. Moon. Alongside acting, Jamie's passions extend to filmmaking as well. Her strengths as a writer inspired her to begin screenwriting and now, two years later, she will be debuting her skills both behind and in front of the camera in, Reflection, her first short film that premiered as official selection at the Toronto Short Film Festival.
