Kris Orticello: Acting During COVID by Playing “Tory Spelling” in Amazon Prime’s BROKE AND FAMOUS

Riveting performances and a natural charisma have secured Kris Orticello as one of the most outstanding Canadian actors to catapult into the US market. She has been featured in US Weekly Magazine, FOX News, ABC News, NBC News, along with many other publications for her performances.

The Italian-Canadian born Torontonian began acting and modeling at the age of 7, although her ultimate passion was singing. You may recognize Kris from the various film and television roles she’s starred in, first breaking through on Canadian television as a regular dancer on Much Music's Electric Circus. She was then hired regularly to model for various brands on The Shopping Channel and later QVC. Kris has been cast in television commercials and hired as a brand ambassador. Janette caught up with her in Toronto at Liquid Media’s Tiff party to talk about COVID and acting, and her most notable recent leading roles. Kris portrays “Tory Spelling” on Amazon Prime’s BROKE AND FAMOUS, as well as “Brandi Glanville” in US Weekly’s FAMOUS FUEDS which depicts the controversial affair of Eddie Cibrian and country singer, LeAnn Rimes that lead to Glanville & Cibrian’s untimely divorce.

More Interesting Facts About Kris:

She has also studied with Marki Costello, Hollywood's premier host coach and Jules Fitzsimmons, Canada's leading host casting director.
