We had a great conversation with Actor Neil Whitely on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about so many things from mindset, family, acting, his story, sacrifices, he shares some great stories to a whole lot more! He also shared for the first time a project he is launching in 2022!
Neil Whitely is an actor currently based in Toronto, Canada. Neil discovered his love for performing at the young age of seven but kept it a secret his whole life until his daughter Nicki got into show business. Being with her on set made him realize he still had the desire to act and inspired him to pursue acting as a career in his mid-40s.
Neil’s first big break came when he was cast in the feature film RED (DC COMICS) where he appeared alongside major Hollywood hitters including Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Hellen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Richard Dreyfuss. Since then, he has amassed a significant body of work including LOST GIRL (SHOWCASE/SYFY), BREAKOUT KINGS (A&E), THE FIRM (AMAZON PRIME), NIKITA (CW), BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (CW), SEX/LIFE (NETFLIX), NIGHTMARE ALLEY (SEARCHLIGHT), HEMLOCK GROVE (NETFLIX), THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE (STARZ), BAD BLOOD (CITY), UTOPIA FALLS (HULU), and HOME FOR HARVEST (AMAZON PRIME).
Coming up next, Neil will be appearing in the new feature film A SISTERLY CHRISTMAS coming to the OWN Network on December 7. He will also be recurring in the upcoming second season of the hit television drama series WHEN HOPE CALLS premiering on GAC FAMILY on December 18.
Outside of acting, Neil enjoys spending time with his family and is a huge hockey fan. He also owns a company that supplies organic agricultural products to help farmers in developing countries increase crop production naturally without expensive chemicals.
Neil supports causes close to his heart including the Toronto Human Society and Greenpeace.
