BIOGRAPHY: Enid-Raye Adams was born in 1973 in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Since then, no one has ever pronounced her name correctly. Kids at school called her Igor and Enid The Peenid. After two perms in a row in junior high, she bore a striking resemblance to Napoleon Dynamite. Enid-Raye began her theater career in some of Shakespeare's classics: Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet", Olivia in "Twelfth Night", Lady Percy in "Henry IV, Part One" and several others. Her film debut was opposite Russell Crowe in the Canadian independent "For The Moment". In 1998, she moved to Vancouver to pursue her career and couldn't get arrested. She couldn't even get a ticket for j-walking. If she j-walked in front of the cops, they would just say, "I'm sorry, we've decided to go another way," or "We're too busy giving tickets to actors who already have agents." It was during this time that she co-wrote and performed in the hilarious one-woman show "Would You Like Fries With That?", a hit in theaters across Canada. She also began doing stand-up comedy and finally threatened to egg an agent's '87 Dodge Dart if he didn't sign her. Remarkably, he did and she has been working ever since. Enid-Raye has had roles in Steven Spielberg's "Taken", Showtime's "Jeremiah" and the acclaimed "Da Vinci's Inquest" for which she received a Leo Award nomination. Enid-Raye is now preparing to direct and star in her first film. She continues to eat carbs and does stand-up for her cactus plant, Eunice, on Wednesday mornings. Baddumchik.
TRIVIA:
- Landed her second role on the acclaimed coroner series "Da Vinci's Inquest" by crashing the set with a large sheet cake. Addressed to producer, Chris Haddock, the cake parodied the tag line on the show's poster: "He has a way with people, especially when they're dead." The sheet cake was decorated with edible police tape and said, "I have a way with people, especially when they're fed. Cast me again, or else..." She was immediately cast as psychotic killer, Laura Maitland, who stalked the lead detective on the show. While filming scenes, director Stephen Surjik jokingly told her just to be herself. She received a Leo Award Nomination for her portrayal and appeared on the show for seven episodes.
- She and her husband welcomed their first child, a boy, in August 2007.
