Canadian actress Melanie Merkosky made her TV debut at the age of 12 when she was cast in a single episode of "Honey I Shrunk The Kids: The TV Show" (1998). Merkosky later landed the supporting role of Natalie in the straight-to-video movie "American Pie: The Naked Mile" (2006), a spin-off of the "American Pie" film series, had a small role in Sarah Polley's directorial debut "Away From Her" (2006), and was featured in a story arc on the cult favorite Canadian series "Slings and Arrows" (The Movie Network 2003-06). In 2007, Merkosky was cast in a key supporting role in the pioneering online web series "lonelygirl15," an early attempt at creating a viral word of mouth web hit with integrated marketing. After the end of that series, Merkosky was cast as the lead in the web series "Harper's Globe" (2009), an online supplement to the interactive mystery drama "Harper's Island" (CBS 2009). The web series followed Merkosky's character Robin, a young woman with a mysterious past who moves to Harper's Island to work at the local paper. Merkosky then starred in her third web series, the science fiction story "Continuum" (2011-12), as the space traveler Raegen. In 2014, Merkosky made the leap to the big screen when she was cast in a key role in Denys Arcand's "The Reign of Beauty."
