Following matriculation from high school, Erica Durance moved to Vancouver in order to follow her dream of becoming an actress. Durance studied at The Yaletown Actors Lab, and although initially only receiving minor work offers, she eventually began appearing in various commercials, before moving to star in films and television productions. Erica’s major breakthrough came in 2004, when she was offered the role of Ashley in “The Chris Isaak Show”, a sitcom that featured famous rock musician Chris Isaak, and which then opened many other acting opportunities for Durance. Erica continued her acting career with minor roles in “Andromeda” with Kevin Sorbo and the supernatural drama series “The Collector”, until that same year she landed the role of Lois Lane in the science fiction-drama series “Smallville”, developed by Alfred Gough, and co-starring alongside famous actors including Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack and John Schneider.
