Theater is in Canadian stud Ian Lake’s blood. The Vancouver-born actor grew up in a small secular Jewish community on an island in Vancouver B.C. During his youth he became interested in acting then studied it in school. In 2013 he was starting to land small parts on TV shows and he joined the Stratford Festival doing big annual Shakespeare productions. As his TV and movie career has grown he hasn’t left his roots behind and returns each year to be in the Festival’s production.
In a film version of Macbeth (2017) he finds himself shirtless in a scene with some blood on his chest. After wiping himself clean, he shows off his fit upper body while walking around talking to a woman.
