Andre Dae Kim is an actor on the rise, set to star in the brand-new supernatural thriller series "Vampire Academy" on Peacock. The show, based on the bestselling books by Richelle Mead, is scheduled to premiere on September 15th, 2022.
Andre plays the role of Christian Ozera, a Royal Moroi vampire who has become an outcast and shunned by high society due to his parents' unforgivable societal sins. Christian is an intelligent, thoughtful, yet snarky character who is well-read and hungry for knowledge. He searches for faith-based answers and finds a kindred spirit who is also looking for the truth.
In addition to "Vampire Academy", Andre has recently held a recurring role on Netflix's hit series "Locke & Key" and starred as Chief Kyle in the critically acclaimed, Emmy-nominated Paramount+ series "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds".
Andre's first big break came when he joined the cast of the Canadian YA drama series "Degrassi: The Next Generation" in the thirteenth season. He played the role of Winston Chu, a smart and sarcastic high school student, from 2013-2015. Andre went on to reprise the role in "Degrassi: Next Class" from 2016-2017 and appeared in the film "Degrassi: Don't Look Back" in 2015.
After "Degrassi", Andre landed roles on "Schitt's Creek" for CBC/PopTV, "Salvation" for CBS, "American Gods" for Starz, "Northern Rescue" opposite Kathleen Robertson, and "The Hardy Boys" for Hulu. In film, Andre starred in the short drama "Whistleblower" (2018) as Tim, a distraught teenager who struggles with being able to trust the people around him after documenting a humiliating incident that involved older students.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, and raised in the Toronto area, Andre grew up with an innate love for film. He was drawn to Japanese animation and attended a high school that was rooted in the arts, furthering his interest in the craft. Upon graduation, he began auditioning for local acting roles in the Toronto area and has been working ever since.
When he isn't on set, Andre enjoys gaming, playing volleyball, and is an avid foodie. He is also experienced in martial arts, jiu-jitsu, and can play the guitar and Ukulele. Andre currently resides in the Toronto area.
