June Laporte is an Australian-born, non-binary actor, writer, and director with Canadian and
American roots. Born in Melbourne to a Canadian father and American mother, June was raised
in Houston, Texas, where their love of storytelling began by reenacting scenes from favorite
books in the backyard—casting friends as Diana to their Anne Shirley or Wendy to their Peter Pan.
By the age of eight, they had found their way to the stage, performing in productions including
To Kill a Mockingbird and The Crucible at Houston's Alley Theatre.

Theatre became far more than a creative outlet during June's childhood. As their father battled
cancer before his passing when June was 12, performing became both a refuge and a source of
resilience. Their father remained one of their greatest supporters, encouraging them to always be
unapologetically themselves. It was also through theatre, and playing characters like Peter Pan
and Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, that June began discovering and embracing their own
gender identity and sexuality.

After graduating from high school, where they spent summers performing in productions
including Spring Awakening and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, June landed their first feature
film, Clinger, which premiered at the 2015 Slamdance Film Festival. They later moved to New
York City to study at New York University's Playwrights Horizons Theater School before
continuing their training at the Atlantic Acting Conservatory.

Leveraging their dual Canadian-American citizenship, June eventually relocated to Vancouver,
where they have built an impressive body of work across film and television. They are perhaps
best known for their acclaimed performance in the queer coming-of-age drama You Can Live
Forever, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival in 2022 and earned widespread critical praise
for its heartfelt storytelling. Their television credits include Star Trek: Discovery, The Dropout, The
Irrational, as well as numerous projects for Lifetime and Hallmark. In 2020, June received the Leo
Award for Best Lead Performance in a Television Movie for Lifetime's V.C. Andrews' Web of
Dreams. Up next, June will recur as Ginny Hughes in the MGM+ drama series American Hostage.
Beyond acting, June is an accomplished writer and emerging director dedicated to creating
bold, character-driven stories.

Their screenplay Imperfect Harmony was selected as a Top 12
finalist for Vancouver's Crazy8s filmmaking competition, and their original web series pilot
SIGMA received funding through TELUS STORYHIVE. They also write, direct, and perform
comedic short-form content centered around "Jube," a heightened version of themselves
navigating the absurdities, grief, and growing pains of adulthood.

Passionate about championing queer and femme voices both on and off screen, June believes
authentic representation has the power to transform audiences. They are driven by stories that
foster empathy and connection, and remain inspired by the irreplaceable experience of
strangers gathering together in the dark to share in the emotional journey of cinema.
