Margarita Valderrama

Margarita Valderrama is a Colombian-Canadian bilingual actor, writer and filmmaker. Believe it or not, she was not named after the drink and as far as she knows she has no relation to Wilmer. She wishes the answer to the question "Where are you from?" had a simple answer but alas: she was born in Buenos Aires, raised in Bogotá and Mexico City and has called Toronto home for over a decade. Now onto why you're really here - Margarita has a knack for wearing many hats, she works in voice over for animation, film & TV, and theatre. Some of her voice over work includes: voicing Lia Venegas on Bakugan: Battle Planet and most recently Lime Chiffon in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City. And just when you thought that was all, she also writes! Her first short film script Date Night won the ACTRA Toronto Shorts Competition and has received official selection from film festivals across the U.S and Canada, notably the New York Latino Film Festival and the Philadelphia Latino Film Festival
