ABOUT

My Film Story

About Darlene Tait

After nearly four decades in high-level marketing—working with international airlines and innovative international real estate ventures—I turned my creative energies to acting. My film and TV training began in the late ’90s at the Screen Actors Studio in Victoria, BC. A decade-long move to Loreto, Mexico, shifted my focus, but when I returned to Victoria in 2013, I re-entered the industry with renewed passion—this time diving deep into the world of independent film.

For years, I dedicated myself to Vancouver Island’s indie film community, both in front of and behind the camera—acting, producing, casting, and supporting emerging filmmakers. My commitment to local storytelling led to an abundance of rewarding and award-winning roles in indie shorts and community productions, while also serving on the boards of the South Island Film Commission (Vice President), Cinevic (President), and Women in Film & Television Vancouver.

As the industry evolved, so did my focus. Since signing with All Heart Talent Management in Vancouver, I’ve expanded into national television productions—booking roles on CBS’s Watson, NBC’s The Hunting Party, and Netflix’s Virgin River. Hallmark audiences may know me as Grandma Gertie in Fourth Down and Love and as Grandma Rose in Five More Minutes: Moments Like These.

In 2025, I authored The Partnership: An Actor’s Guide to Casting the Most Important Relationship in Your Career—a practical, insider-focused guide designed to help actors build successful, sustainable relationships with their agents. Drawing on my own experience and countless conversations within the industry, the book offers tools, perspective, and encouragement for actors at every stage.

I work hard to bring depth, professionalism, and heart to every production I join—whether it's a big-budget shoot or a local passion project.
