About
As a kid in Montreal, Emily Hampshire (Schitt's Creek) was so self-conscious about performing that she’d only sing and dance inside her closet. She’s since gone on to become a six-time Canadian Screen Award winner best known for her role as Stevie Budd on the hit CBC comedy series Schitt’s Creek. Now, she’s joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the new series VisionQuest, playing an AI avatar tasked with teaching an android superhero about fun. Emily stops by the Q studio to talk about her new role, growing up as a theatre kid, and why she thinks Canadian storytelling is having such a massive global moment right now.
