Kelly Tufford spends the bulk of her time teaching elementary school Phys. ed. with Hanover School Division. She was at Blumenort School and will miss her students and teammates there, but is excited for the new opportunities as she begins at Elmdale School this September.  But...when school is out for summer, she puts down the teacher hat and picks up the actress one!  Kelly spends her summer vacation time in front of the camera!  

For the last 5 years, Kelly has found herself doing some acting in tv shows and movies during the summer. Her latest role is in Cruise Ship Killers on the Justice Network on episode 26 entitled "Vincent."   It's re-enacting murders that took place on cruise ships...hence the name..Cruise Ship Killers. She played a woman called Helena in episode 23 where she took her last cruise with her husband!  Clearly...someone is murdered!

Kelly has been in over 25 movies and tv shows over the last 5 years and it's something she really enjoys doing.  She's really excited to see some of them coming to theatres and Netflix later this year.  She says "it's been an amazing experience."  Kelly has worked in a few true crime dramas and has portrayed women who have killed and she says that "it's been fun trying to figure out what was going on in their head at the time."  Kelly can also be seen in Killer In Plain Sight on episode 1 which can be seen on Amazon Prime.

She doesn't haven't anything specific she's working on right now, but with filming starting back up, she is anticipating more time in front of the camera.  You can see Kelly in new releases coming out soon like: "Run",  "Welcome to Sudden Death", "Percy",  and "Flag Day" where she did background work. You can also see her in some other big films she had the opportunity to be a part of "A Dog's Purpose", "A Dog's Journey", "Breakthrough", "Burden of Truth" (3 seasons), "JT Leroy" and "How it Ends".  

It sounds like Kelly's summer vacations over the years have been busy!  Filming is picking up in Manitoba again due to the province opening up with COVID restrictions, she says, "I'm waiting for casting calls to come out and will see what comes up."  From the list of shows that Kelly has participated in, we're thinking it won't be long for her to receive a phone call!  Thanks for sharing your experience with us Kelly!
