Lexa Doig

Canadian actress Lexa Doig was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to a Filipina mother and an Irish-Scottish father. Her parents held season tickets to their local theater, and after seeing a production of "Porgy and Bess" at age nine, she was inspired to act. She dropped out of high school in grade 13, did modeling and commercial work, and hosted YTV's Video & Arcade Top 10 (1991) with friend Gordon Michael Woolvett.

Lexa's first professional job came at 19, when she was cast opposite William Shatner and Greg Evigan in "TekWar." She went on to appear in projects like CI5: The New Professionals (1998), Jungleground (1995), and No Alibi (2000), before landing a lead role in Jason X (2001), the 10th installment in the Friday the 13th series. She then captured the title role in Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda (2000), playing the Andromeda Ascendant's artificial intelligence system. She has also done guest stints on Traders (1996), Earth: Final Conflict (1997), and The Chris Isaak Show (2001). Theatre credits include "Arsenic and Old Lace" and "Romeo and Juliet."

In her spare time, Lexa enjoys reading, rollerblading, and playing RPG video games; "Dungeons and Dragons" is her favorite. She currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, with husband Michael Shanks, children Mia and Samuel, and two cats. She is also an activist. She has been active since 1993, nearly 33 years in the business.
