Colm Feore (born August 22, 1958, in Boston, Massachusetts) is a Canadian raised actor of Irish and Italian extraction. Feore grew up in Windsor, Ontario. After graduating from Ridley College in St. Catherines, Ontario, he attended the National Theatre School in Montreal, Quebec. He is also fluent in French. Feore lives with his wife, choreographer Donna Feore, and their three children, in Stratford, Ontario.

Feore honed his acting skills as a member of the Acting Company of the Stratford Festival of Canada, North America’s largest classical repertory theatre, located in Stratford. He spent 14 seasons at Stratford where he rose from bit parts to leading roles, including Romeo, Hamlet, Richard III, and Cyrano.

In Canada, Feore’s most famous role was as Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in the critically-acclaimed television mini-series Trudeau, a role for which he won a Gemini Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Dramatic Program or Mini-Series. More recently he played a crazed marketing executive in the second season of the popular Canadian TV series, Slings and Arrows, a role that continued for several episodes. The show has run in the States on the Sundance Channel.

Outside Canada, Feore has appeared in numerous film and television roles.
