Amanda Tapping was born on August 28, 1965 in Rochford, Essex,
England. She spent a short time in South Benfleet, Essex, before
relocating to Ontario, Canada at the age of 3. Amanda Tapping went
to North Toronto High School where she won the Dramatic Arts Award
and environmental Science Award. She studied drama at the
University of Windsor School of Dramatic Arts in Windsor, Ontario.
After graduation she spent four more years studying theater and
appearing in several stage productions. After six months she
secured an agent and got her first commercial (Tim Horton's Oat
Bran Muffins.) A couple more commercials followed, and the payment
Amanda received for them allowed her to help finance the existance
of Random Acts, an improvisational comedy troupe, which she formed
in the early 90s in Toronto with two othe women (Katherine Jackson
and Anne Marie Kerr). The group performed sketch comedy in small
venues around Toronto including The New Ideas Festival and Tarragon
Spring Arts Fair. Amanda has three brothers (Richard, Christopher
and Stephen), of whom two are older than herself and one is her
twin brother. One of her elder brothers is a biochemist, and her
twin brother is a computer programmer. In years 1995-1997 Amanda
appeared in a number of television productions (including _"Flash
Forward" (1996)_ (qv), _Remembrance (1996)(TV)_ (qv) and episodes
of various shows like "Due South", "The Newsroom" and "The
X-Files). Films included _Rent-a-Kid (1995)_ (qv) and _Booty Call
(1997)_ (qv). Her major breakthrough, however, came in 1997 when
she won the role of Captain Samantha Carter in the television show
_"Stargate SG-1" (1997)_ (qv).
