Kyle Labine, Actor (1983 - )

Born 7 April 1983 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Jonathan Kyle Labine's family moved to Maple Ridge, British Columbia shortly after his birth. There he attended Fairview Elementary School and Maple Ridge Secondary School. The younger brother of Tyler Labine, Kyle began his acting career as a youngster of five which required balancing his school activities with his budding career. His parents directed Kyle to acting because of his outgoing and expressive personality. Playing Davey Keith in the 1989 television series "Road to Avonlea" opened the door for Kyle. The next year he landed a three-year stint as Pepito in the TV series "Madeline". In 1991 he made a guest appearance in the television show "My Secret Identity".

After a brief three-year break from acting, Kyle landed the role of Frederick Muller in the 1995 film "Bach's Fight for Freedom". Since then, he has had steady work acting in both television and films. His appearances in television series include: "Darkstalkers" (1995), "StreetFighter" (1995), "Goosebumps" (1996), "The Outer Limits" (1997), "Dead Man's Gun" (1998), "Da Vinci's Inquest" (2000), "2gether: The Series" (2001)", "Night Visions" (2002), "The Twilight Zone" (2003) and "The L Word" (2004). TV movies in which Kyle has acted are: "Dog's Best Friend" (1997), "Ratz" (2000), "I Was A Teenage Faust" (2002), "Crazy Canucks" (2004) and his latest "Falcon Beach" (2005).

After breaking into box office films in 1995, Kyle's career in this area continues to grow. His film credits include: "Big Bully" (1996), "Mr. Rice's Secret" (2000), "Spooky Hoiuse" (2000), "Halloween: Resurrection" (2002), the hit "Freddy vs. Jason" (2003) in which Kyle played Bill Freeburg, "The Perfect Score" (2004) and the recently completed "Crossed" (2006).

In 2003 Kyle decided it was time for a directional change in his acting career and planned to take two years off to enter a theater program. Plans, however, changed when he was offered the opportunity to audition for "Freddy vs. Jason" and subsequently secured the role of pothead Bill Freeburg. After "Freddy vs. Jason" Kyle has been able both to enter an acting program and to continue his career.

In 1997 Kyle Labine was nominated for a YoungStar Award in the category of Best Performance by a Young Actor in a Saturday Morning TV Program for his role as Evan Ross in "Goosebumps".   One of his shortest appearances was in "Halloween: Resurrection" where he had only two lines and appeared for less than thirty seconds.

In their free time brothers Kyle and Tyler Labine enjoy getting together with the hip hop band "Figures of Speech" and visiting with their family at the cottage in Ontario.
