Emma Taylor-Isherwood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emma Taylor-Isherwood (Born April 27, 1987 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian actress.
She began her career at the age of nine, with voice role in the animated special Teddy Bears Rescue. Miffy and Mona the Vampire are the other series that Emma had voice acted in. In some production Emma can be found acting along side her sister Sally Taylor Isherwood, born 1991. Three films she appears in are Tales from the Neverending Story, The Shipping News and Who Gets The House
Emma had an interesting start in acting. When she was around eight years old, she asked her parents if she could have acting lessons. She was in the habit of starting a lesson (such as dance or piano) and then quickly giving it up. So her parents made a compromise: she could take acting lessons if she made the money for it herself. Emma rose to the challenge and began making paper maché hats. The "Ottawa Citizen" heard of it, and wrote an article on her. After that article, she quickly made the money she needed to go to acting lessons.
She is probably best known for her role as the free-spirited, adventurous intelligent, and intrusive Josie Trent on Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, also known as Black Hole High.
