Bio:
Catherine Lough Haggquist
A professional actor for over 20 years, Catherine Lough Haggquist’s numerous credits include lead roles on the series The Unprofessionals and Rockpoint PD as well as the feature The Thing Below. Supporting credits include Termination Point and The Stranger Game. Recurring roles on Dark Angel and Highlander as well as appearances in The X-Files, The Outer Limits, Smallville, Doctor Who: the Movie, Stargate SG-1, and Paycheck are also among her favourites.
In addition to her acting, Cat opened Biz Books in Vancouver in 1996 and it has grown to become an international resource for people looking to expand their knowledge of film, television and theatre. Time spent on the local and national boards of UBCP and ACTRA and watching her mentor John Juliani inspired her to begin sharing her vast industry knowledge. Since that decision, she has developed seminars and workshops designed to assist creative professionals with their business skills and empower them to get their careers focused and productive.
In March of 2008 Cat was honoured to receive the Special Jury Award from Women in Film & Television Vancouver in recognition of her body of work and contribution to BC’s film industry.
