Talent Agency, Colin McMurray & Associates Inc.
In business for 20 successful years
From our Facebook
Twenty years ago today, I took a leap of faith and opened Colin McMurray & Associates Inc.
Looking back, I couldn’t be more grateful. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of building incredible relationships with talented actors, casting directors, producers, and so many wonderful people throughout this industry. I truly love what I do, and after all these years, I’m just as passionate about helping our clients build their careers as I was on day one.
Having Kate Peters join the agency has made us stronger than ever. I don’t just consider her a colleague — I consider her my partner. Together, we’re committed to supporting our roster and continuing to work tirelessly on their behalf.
To everyone who has been part of this journey over the past 20 years, thank you for your trust, your support, and your belief in us. Here’s to the next chapter and many more years of doing what we love.
We officially opened on August 7, 2006. The Toronto Agency represents actors, singers and dancers for film, television, voice over, commercials and theatre. While we have talent working in mainstream productions, our agency proudly keeps our roster at a Boutique-size, allowing us better focus on our clients and talent. The agency is a member of EIC (Entertainment Industry Coalition), where Actra helps govern a high quality code of ethics.

Colin is one of the most trusted agents in the city. As Founder and Chief Creative Agent at Colin McMurray & Associates, he has cultivated a unique and diverse roster of actors, singers and dancers who collectively have worked on stage and screen across the world.
Colin began working as an agent for The Talent House, under the direction of owner and theatre agent Bruce Dean.
After over a decade of managing many aspects of that agency, working as a commercial, voice-over, and youth film & television agent, he was hired as the Director of the talent department with Ford Talent Management. Colin managed their acting roster for several years before launching Colin McMurray & Associates in 2006. Colin is from Riverview, New Brunswick and studied Fine Art in London, ON.
And for interest sake, he is Lord of Glencoe after purchasing a plot of land in Scotland in 2012.
Oh Good Lord!

Kate Peters
Kate joins the incredible team of Colin McMurray & Associates Inc with over a decade of experience spanning all sectors of the entertainment industry.
With nothing but a love of fantasy movies and a twinkle in her eye she left Nova Scotia to pursue a bachelor’s degree in performing arts from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York where she lived for three years.
Upon her move to Toronto in 2008 she quickly jumped into the vibrant industry in the city transitioning into behind the scenes work that spawned her love of being on the other side of the camera. She has worked at the Rick Mercer Report, Canadian Screen Awards and various CBC productions before becoming a Production Coordinator at top acting school. From there she moved into the casting world where she worked for Larissa Mair & Associates as a Casting Assistant before her final move of joining Colin and his team.
