Donia Kash

A 2024 Whistler Film Festival winner and nominated actor, Donia is a trailblazer who brings a colorful range of talent and cultural depth to both the big and small screens. Recent projects are featured in Variety Magazine, Entertainment Tonight for notable roles in SLAY, created by Jem Gerrard on Tubi, and Hallmark's The Holiday Sitter (a GLAAD Award-nominated film), Donia made history as the first non-binary actor to break through in a Hallmark production.

A descendant of Iran's Qashqai tribe, born in Greece, Donia's journey from a young immigrant to an award-winning artist in Canada has shaped a perspective uniquely their own. Their passion for performance began at age 7 in theater, music videos, and commercials, and over the past decade, they have collaborated in a broad array of film, television, and theater productions.

Renowned for their nuanced physicality, Donia brings a rare depth to each role, drawing from their background in martial arts and dance and an astute observation of human movement. With a fearless approach that transcends the binary, Donia seeks roles that break conventions and explore authentic human experiences. Driven by creativity, genuine connection, and humor, they are a powerful presence on any set, embodying characters with intensity, sensitivity, and a palpable enthusiasm for storytelling.
