It91裸聊视频檚 far from Coe91裸聊视频檚 first TV or movie role, but it91裸聊视频檚 the first major role since he decided to revive his acting career early this year.
Born in Vernon, Coe91裸聊视频檚 family moved to Calgary when he was three. Later in life he moved to Vancouver having caught the acting bug in high school, and there he started building his acting resume, appearing in Stargate-SG1, The Outer Limits and four episodes of the X-Files, to name a few of his bigger roles.
Coe later moved to Toronto, met his wife who was also from Vernon, had a kid and wound up getting out of acting.

Coe brought his family back to Vernon and began working as an electrician. He still took part in community theatre at Powerhouse Theatre and O91裸聊视频橩eefe Ranch, but with a family and a new career with Capra Electric, his professional acting days appeared to be pulled off stage.
It was Matt Brown at the Powerhouse Theatre who convinced Coe to give acting another go.

Between the many acting gigs and his electrical work, it91裸聊视频檚 been a busy year.
91裸聊视频淚t feels a bit surreal being an electrician and being an actor at the same time, and very surprising,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e worked more (acting jobs) this year than I did in about four years in Toronto, so it91裸聊视频檚 just astounding.91裸聊视频�
The Okanagan film scene has grown dramatically since Coe91裸聊视频檚 first stint as an actor, and he says the region91裸聊视频檚 diverse landscape makes it a viable shooting location for a wide variety of productions.
