Gabrielle Rose

Gabrielle Rose, yeah, she’s basically Canadian acting royalty—though she’d probably roll her eyes at the whole “royalty” label. Born out in BC, she’s been bouncing around film sets, theatre stages, and TV shoots for what feels like forever. And honestly, you’ve probably seen her face in a bunch of indie flicks without even realizing it. She’s one of those actors who just kinda melts into any role, and next thing you know, you’re Googling, “Who is that woman in The Sweet Hereafter?” (It’s Gabrielle. Spoiler.) Her family’s got showbiz in their blood too. Her granddad, L Arthur Rose, wrote the musical “Me and My Girl”—total classic, by the way. So yeah, drama runs deep. She’s married to Hrothgar Mathews (yep, another actor), and they’ve got two kids, Liam and Finn. No word if the kiddos are plotting their own theatre takeovers, but with that gene pool, it wouldn’t be shocking. Gabrielle’s resume is stacked—big-screen, small-screen, live and in-person. Her indie film work in Canada is what really put her on the map. “The Sweet Hereafter,” “Maudie,” “Kingsway”—all those movies where the acting’s so good it kinda hurts. Awards? She’s got a few, but honestly, she’s more about the craft than the hardware. You watch her work and get the feeling she’s in it for the stories, not the red carpets. Which, let’s be real, is probably why she’s so damn good.
