Welcome back to WHR You Decide<\/a>! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This Monday, February 16, 2015 we are thrilled to be interviewing the brilliant and remarkable actress, Alison Louder<\/a>, better known to all Helix<\/a> fans as the calculating and cunning Sister Amy! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A young actress that made a lasting impression as Emily, younger sister to Sam Huntington<\/a>\u2019s Josh Levison, Alison has now returned to Syfy as a young \u201celder\u201d in the abbey on St. Germain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a> Looked to by Brother Michael (Steven Weber<\/a>) as a confidant, alongside Sister Anne (played by Severn Thompson<\/a>) and Sister Agnes (played by Clare Coulter<\/a>), Sister Amy is one of a triumvirate that were first to encounter the CDC agents Peter Farragut and Sarah Jordan (Neil Napier<\/a> and Jordan Hayes<\/a>, both returning for this second season) and newcomer Kyle Sommer (played by TV veteran Matt Long<\/a>).<\/span><\/span>
\n\"Sister<\/a><\/p>\n

As season two of Helix<\/a> has so far played out, we see that Sister Amy is not exactly happy with the way Brother Michael runs the abbey, and seems to have her own agenda \u2013 specifically in the area of ridding St. Germain of the CDC. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wreaking havoc whenever possible, with her trusty \u201chenchman\u201d Brother Landry (masterfully played by Sean Tucker<\/a>), we have seen Sister Amy use, abuse, and manipulate all devices \u2013 plants AND man!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alison<\/a>Alison Louder<\/a> is a talented actress with strong roots in theatre, she is driven \u2013 one might say \u201cbusy as a bee\u201d (c\u2019mon, don\u2019t tell me you didn\u2019t get that bee reference from the Helix<\/a> episode, \u201cDensho\u201d?). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her long list of accomplishments (as can be read on Syfy\u2019s mini bio<\/a>) already include the development of new plays for the renowned Playwrights Workshop Montr\u00e9al<\/a> and Canada\u2019s famed National Theatre School<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Festival<\/a><\/p>\n

Not stopping there, Ms. Louder also carried the mantle of Assistant Director\/Producer of a critically acclaimed performance of Ariel Dorfman<\/a>\u2019s \u201cSpeak Truth To Power\u201d.<\/span><\/span>
\nAs a teacher, Ms. Louder imparts her knowledge and compassion for the arts as an Artist Rep for the Festival St. Ambroise Fringe de Montr\u00e9al<\/a> \u2013 an annual festival, running for 20 days each June, which showcases theatre (both original works and repertory), dance, and musical performances. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Alison is an award winning playwright, whose one woman show \u201cHot Pink\u201d had originally premiered at the Festival St. Ambroise Fringe de Montr\u00e9al in 2010, and is slated for remount during the 2014-2015 theatre season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And as if that was not enough, Ms. Louder also serves as a spokesperson for ACTRA Montr\u00e9al\u2019<\/a>s Young Emerging Artists Assembly! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Alison Louder<\/a> has been twice \u2013 in consecutive years, 2013 and 2014 \u2013 been voted as the #4 Best Local Actress by Montr\u00e9al-ers in the \u201cBest of Montr\u00e9al\u201d poll. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is an ambitious, bilingual (French and English), and successful performer with a multitude of talents: a stage actress, a film actress, a classically trained musician, and an improviser\/comedienne.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
