Second Act Actors
by Chelsea Pegues
In March of 2020, no one on this planet had any idea what the future would hold. Thankfully, it’s been almost three-and-a-half years since then. Now, many people look back with fond memories of baking and at-home workouts, living room obstacle courses, and, certainly, the full-body exhaustion and dread synonymous with homeschooling. A lot of us also developed some interesting side-hustles and hobbies during this dark period of forced downtime and social distancing. Toronto-based Dr. Janet McMordie, however, plunged into something incredibly new and intense for her - and hasn’t looked back! This fellowship-trained sports medicine physician, working full-time, decided to also be an actress. And a voice actor. And a stuntwoman- oh, and podcast host! If all of this sounds remarkable, it’s because it truly is.
