is a true example of the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­dichotomy a stunning beauty at once familiar and exotic.

Best known for her role on the multiple award-winning sci-fi series Stargate Universe, for which she was twice nominated for a Leo Award, the Japanese-Canadian actress ponders the part that her heritage plays in her career.

Its almost a hard question to answer, says the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­veteran, pausing to think.

I feel it has been an advantage to be a little different, but there are certain roles I can never go out for, she concludes with an emphatic laugh.

Born and raised in Toronto, Spence followed her newly retired parents to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Island on an artful wander after theatre school and has made her home in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ever since. Twelve years later, the only thing Spence says would cause her to dig up her roots would be that pesky passion she has for acting.

Currently embodying the recurring role of Betty Robertson, a cop and IT specialist, on the new show Continuum, Spence sees no immediate threat to her warm weather plans in Vancouver. Summertime and living in the West End, I love, love going to the beach. When its summer, Im down watching the sunset almost every night.

The series is in production in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­and set to air on Showcase in late spring.
