Jared Abrahamson doesn't exactly fit the cookie-cutter image of a Hollywood star. The guy grew up in Flin Flon, Manitoba—yeah, that’s a real place—where winter lasts about nine months and the mining dust never quite leaves your clothes. He spent his early years clocking in at the mines, grinding through shifts just to keep the lights on, while also throwing punches and rolling on mats with other tough-as-nails locals. That’s what people did up there for fun—either you fought, or you froze. At 20, Jared decided he wanted more than just the daily slog and bitter cold, so he bailed west for Vancouver with nothing but a duffle bag and some wild ambition. He ended up at Vancouver Film School, hustling through classes and workshops at places like the Actors Foundry, soaking up whatever he could about the craft. Not the smoothest path, but he made it work. His big break? He landed a lead in the Hallmark flick “Finding a Family.” Not your average cheesy holiday movie either—Jared played a kid fighting tooth and nail to get into Harvard, all while bouncing through the foster system. Heavy stuff, but he pulled it off. And he never ditched his fighting roots. He’s still training MMA, stacking up a record—1-1-0 as a pro, plus a couple wins in Muay Thai kickboxing. Fights under the name Wolfblood Abrahamson, which, honestly, sounds metal as hell and fits the guy to a T.
This dude snagged a Leo Award nomination for Best Performance by a Male in a Short Drama thanks to his role in Destroyer (2013). Not exactly your run-of-the-mill flick, Destroyer is one of those short dramas that slips under most people’s radar but leaves a mark on those who catch it. The performance? Gritty, kind of raw, and honestly, you can see why it caught the award folks’ attention. There’s this tension bubbling under the surface throughout, and you get sucked into the character’s struggle—he’s not some shiny, polished hero; he’s flawed and messy, and that’s what makes the whole thing work. The Leo Awards don’t just hand out nominations for nothing, so you know there’s something going on here. If you’re into dramas that feel a little more real, a little less Hollywood sparkle, Destroyer’s definitely worth a watch, just for that performance alone.
