Biography
Niamh (pronounced "Neve") Wilson is a veteran film and television actor, known for her craft-driven approach to acting, believing in the integral role of all to the final outcome of a project. She brings intuition, empathy, curiosity and humor to her work. Having trained as a dancer, she also infuses her roles with physically and body knowledge, a prime example being her depiction of the gender-fluid "Mouse" in Giant Little Ones. She has worked with many notable directors, including Jean Pierre Jeunet, (The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet) and David Cronenberg (Map to the Stars) as well as having been nominated for, and won numerous awards. As a child her maturity and emotive face made her a favorite in horror and supernatural projects. By the time she was in middle school she'd portrayed a ghost and an alien, been haunted, possessed, kidnapped and blown up. Comedic roles eluded Niamh until she landed the title role in a tween-oriented sitcom Debra! (for which she won a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series - Leading Young Actress and Outstanding Young Ensemble in a TV Series.) Niamh also spent two seasons on the teen soap Degrassi, as Jack Jones. She is known for her sarcastic wit, long winded anecdotes and hard work, body positivity and devotion to her Chihuahua-Lab rescue hound "Juice". She studied Anthropology at the University of Toronto. The daughter of an art director and a writer, she has two older brothers. She attended french immersion school and studied the violin. Niamh divides her time between Halifax, Nova Scotia and Toronto, Ontario.

Like her character on Degrassi, Jack Jones, Wilson is a dancer, practicing mainly in ballet, modern contemporary and pointe. Wilson graduated from high school in June 2015 and attended George Brown College in Toronto, Ontario. She was accepted into their dance program for Technical and Performance Training in Ballet. As of 2018, Wilson was pursuing an anthropology major at the University of Toronto.
