Born in Ontario, Canada in August of 1984, Kyle Schmid has been acting for a majority of his life. Commercials and early modeling gigs turned into film auditions and he shortly landed a small appearance in the Canadian film Spill (1996). After a small break he landed two hits in the made for television movies Alley Cats Strike (2000) (TV) for which he beat out 400 other competitors for the lead role, and The Sandy Bottom Orchestra (2000) (TV). Both raised him to his current fan base. In 2001 he was nominated for a Young Artist Award for "Best performance in a TV Movie-Supporting Young Actor" for his performance as Sam Miller in the latter. Later he was playing bully Jordan Lynch on the popular Canadian series "I Was a Sixth Grade Alien" (1999). Residing in Ontario, Canada, Kyle spends a majority of his free time playing his favorite sport, soccer. Other hobbies include swimming, horseback riding and mountain biking. He plays on the Erin Mills soccer team which as of right now (2002) is ranked the highest division in Ontario. With more projects coming up, this teen star will most likely follow in the steps of former Canadian star Hayden Christensen and rise to international fame.
