Maxine Denis
Maxine Denis is a Lebanese/Canadian actor born in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. She was raised in Dubai alongside her sister Yasmine and lived there until the age of eighteen.
Denis has been in the entertainment business since the age of eight when she was cast in local films and commercials. Since then her love and passion for acting has only blossomed. She spent three summers in Los Angeles, California training alongside great coaches, casting directors and other incredible actors.
Throughout her teen years in Dubai she self-produced/directed multiple films, was cast in local commercials and acted in short films. She also took part in theatre productions such as Annie: The Musical, We Will Rock You: The Musical and more.
Denis was hired by a technology company called Pixelbug to record regular voice-overs for their main character Bugsy the ladybug in their application Colorbug. Since then she has grown in the VoiceOver industry, working as an audio-book narrator for two novels: Finding Felicity by P. Creeden and Try Not To Die: In Brightside by Mark Tullius and Dawna Gonzales. She has also worked on projects in dubbing and video games such as Netflix's A Christmas Fire and Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege, respectively.
After high school, Denis moved to Montreal alone to further pursue acting and earn a Psychology degree at McGill University. She joined the McGill Cheerleading Team as a flyer, training regularly and competing nationally.
In 2018, she graduated and received her Bachelor's Degree. She constantly continues her acting training, joining workshops and classes and auditioning across the country. By speaking four languages, English, French, Arabic and Spanish, she has been able to broaden her horizons and work on even more projects. During the pandemic, Denis expanded into entrepreneurship and coaching. She co-found an online audition, self-tape and cold-read workshop called isolACTION to offer reprise and training possibilities to actors affected by the pandemic. She continues coaching sessions twice a week, hoping to give back to the acting community.
When Denis is not working, she loves to stay active by training in boxing, rock climbing and stunt work. She enjoys spending time with her friends and family, especially when that involves playing board games, video games or trying new restaurants. In her spare time, she loves to read, sing and listen to music. One major goal on her' bucket list is to travel the world and discover all the incredible cultures and landscapes.
Denis now resides in Montreal and is working hard, gaining footing and experience across North America. She is represented by Maria Morelia at Bellini International Inc. for film/television, voiceover, commercial and print.
