Amanda Tapping

Director - actress - producer and a real "goofball at heart"

Both fans around the world and her colleagues speak highly of the blonde whirlwind from Canada. She appeals to people with her special attributes: kindness, grace, caring, modesty, down-to-earthness, the ability to listen, entertaining and humorous. Whenever you have the opportunity to speak to Amanda, sooner or later she emphasizes again and again how important kindness, respect and the encouragement of others are to her. And that she tries to improve her little corner of the world because, in her opinion, as a "privileged person" she sees a moral obligation for herself. More recently she has also spoken openly and honestly about her self-respect and self-esteem, the lack of which she has struggled with for years.

Amanda Tapping is not only an actress and director, an activist and a woman!
She is a role model - and inspiring both professionally and privately!

"I would hope that I’d be remembered for being kind.
For being a good daughter and a good wife
and most importantly a good friend.
I’d like it to be remembered that I loved passionately
and that I loved a lot and that I cared."
