Stuart Bentley
Stuart Bentley is a multifaceted actor whose career has spanned both stage and film since his teenage years. Known for his ability to seamlessly navigate serious drama, comedy, and farce, Stuart approaches each project with fervor and dedication. His passion for the performing arts was sparked by his high school drama teacher, acclaimed actor Orest Kinasewich, in Edmonton. This inspiration propelled him through various cities across Canada, ultimately leading him to establish his roots in Calgary in 2001.
Upon arriving in Calgary, Stuart found a theatrical home and dedicated a decade to the Workshop Theatre, the city's oldest community theatre company, where he served as a board member and held the presidency for four years.
Throughout his illustrious career, Stuart has received numerous accolades, including a CAT Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of shock rocker Tommy Quick in "Bedtime Stories" and a Best Actor Award for his role as George in David Mamet's "The Duck Variations." His recent performances showcase his range as he took on the role of a formidable family lawyer in the award-winning feature "Common Chord." Additionally, he captivated audiences as the imprisoned Irish journalist Edward in "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me," which won the prestigious 2012 Acting Irish International Theatre Festival in Dublin, and as the iconic Richard Nixon in "Frost/Nixon" with Scorpio Theatre in Calgary.
