Samantha Pasielski is a UBCP/ACTRA background performer and lifelong dancer based in Langley, BC. Known for her natural stage presence, she brings a diverse and evolving energy to every set.

Samantha’s on-set experience includes background work in a variety of film and television genres—from courtroom dramas like So Help Me Todd to sci-fi favourites like The Flash and Upload, to emotionally charged network shows such as The Good Doctor, Fire Country, and The Irrational. Her comfort in both contemporary and period settings makes her a versatile fit for everything from small-town romances to high-intensity dramas.

With over two decades of performance experience, Samantha began dancing at age five and has trained in jazz, lyrical, ballet, musical theatre, and hip hop. She has performed at major events including the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Closing Ceremonies and multiple PNE Parades. In 2012, she shifted her focus to swing dance and has since become proficient in Lindy Hop, Balboa, East Coast Swing, and Charleston.

She has completed industry-standard training, including the Actsafe Motion Picture Industry Orientation and multiple commercial acting workshops with Kathleen Mayrs Casting. With her tall, curly-haired look, green eyes, and expressive presence, Samantha is open to stand-in and photo double opportunities and hopes to one day showcase her swing dancing skills in an on-screen continuity role.

With a background in graphic design, a warm on-camera presence, and a passion for storytelling through movement, Samantha brings not just professionalism and versatility—but heart and dedication—to every production. Reliable, detail-oriented, and passionate about every set she’s part of, she consistently shows up prepared and ready to contribute to the creative vision.
