Who is Madison Cheeatow?
Canadian actress, movie writer and director Madison Cheeatow, was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 9 November 1993 under the zodiac sign of Cancer. Madison has close to 20 acting credits to her name, and is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Kirsten in the 2021 short horror-comedy movie “The Last Christmas”, written and directed by Ryan Port, and in which she starred alongside Miley Haik and A. C. Peterson. It follows cheerleader Kirsten who’s been awoken by her eight-year-old sister Alice on the night before Christmas; the movie won 47 of its 52 award nominations.
Early life and education
Madison’s parents Andrew Cheeatow and Margot LeBlanc raised her in Toronto alongside her younger sister Aiden; it’s believed that her mother’s a housewife, and that her father’s involved in the real estate business.
Madison’s interest in acting was born while she was still attending a local elementary school, after one of her teachers asked if she was willing to appear in a school play. She progressed to high school in 2008, and made her debut film appearance in 2010, playing Byder in the short drama “The Dance”; the same year saw Madison become somewhat popular, for her portrayal of the main character Ruby Skye in the popular family mystery movie “Ruby Skye P. I.: The Spam Scam”, directed by Kelly Harms, and which also starred Scott Beaudin and Marlee Maslove. It follows 15 years old Ruby who enjoys investigating things, such as why her school janitor’s fingernails are clean, why her neighbor’s depressed and why is her best friend Griffin lying to her.
Madison was not only into acting during her teenage years, but also into dancing and singing, as well as playing volleyball with her peers. She matriculated in 2012, and then focused on making a name for herself in the film industry, rather than on pursuing a college degree.
Roles in TV series
Madison made her debut TV series appearance in the 2010 family mystery comedy “Ruby Skye P. I.”, and she then played Amanda in the 2012 episode “Total Debate of the Heart” of the family fantasy comedy “Wingin’ It”.
She played Keira in eight episodes of the popular crime horror drama “Slasher”, created by Aaron Martin, and which today stars Christopher Jacot, Paula Brancati and Joanne Vannicola. The series has been airing since 2016, follows the lives of several serial killers, and has won one of its eight award nominations.
Madison’s also known for her portrayal of the main character Jade in the 2019 drama “Hudson”, which also starred Sam Robert Muik and Bianca Caroca, while it follows Jade Virani who’s running Maggie’s Diner until Maggie returns from her trip, and is looking for a new manager; the series was nominated for two awards.
Georgie's friend (and Tim's protégé) Jade Virani, played by Madison Cheeatow, will be back in Heartland's NEW season, of course.
