Robb Wells (Ricky) hails from Moncton, New Brunswick where his dad worked as a civilian officer in charge of the RCMP Forensic Crime Lab. Robb moved to Dartmouth when he was eight years old, and eventually moved to a house on the same street as John Paul Tremblay. While John Paul was out riding around on his dirt bike, Robb was out playing on the soccer fields. By the time he was in high school, Robb was playing with some of Nova Scotia’s best soccer players. They represented Nova Scotia at the Canadian National Championships, and won gold for Canada at the International Tournament in New Jersey.

Robb developed his artistic side at an early age with the help of his grade 9 and 10 English teachers. In high school, Robb started hanging around with John Paul Tremblay and Mike Clattenburg and the three of them collaborated on their first short film, One Last Shot. The following year the three work together again on their first pilot, Trailer Park Boys. Neither Robb nor John Paul has appeared in a film without the other. Shared film credits include U.S. feature Virginia’s Run.

Since the last season of Trailer Park Boys, Robb has had little down time. He starred as Joe in the U.S. feature film Hole-In-One, and appeared as a featured guest of the band Our Lady Peace on their cross-Canada Fear of The Trailer Park tour. Robb also joined John Paul (Julian) and Mike Smith (Bubbles) as guest stars in the video, The Darkest One, by The Tragically Hip and is also collaborating with John Paul on at least of couple of feature film screenplays.

John Paul Tremblay (Julian) was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. When he was a young lad, John Paul (also known as JP and Jape by his friends) moved across the water to Dartmouth – actually to the Dartmouth suburb, Cole Harbour. It was there that he met Robb Wells (Ricky), who is three years his junior. In these early years, John Paul and Robb were not close. On the contrary, John Paul thought Robb was a little dork and Robb thought John Paul was the greasy bastard who owned a dirt bike. By the time they reached high school, however, the boys became best buddies. It was in high school that John Paul and Robb started hanging around with Mike Clattenburg. From that point forward, there was no looking back for John Paul Tremblay and the three of them collaborated in creating the shorts, One Last Shot and Trailer Park Boys.

His first acting role came in Clattenburg's award-winning short film, One Last Shot. This was soon followed by his role as Julian in Mike's pilot, Trailer Park Boys and the U.S. feature, Virginia's Run. John Paul recently sold J. R. Capone’s - a chain of pizza restaurants on Prince Edward Island that was first opened by himself and Robb Wells.

The success of Trailer Park Boys has opened many new doors for John Paul both here in Canada as well as south of the border. Such credits include a fisherman alongside Robb Wells in Virginia’s Run, the lead role of Moe in the U.S feature film Hole-In-One starring Meatloaf and Michelle Williams from Dawson’s Creek. Also, together with Robb Wells (Ricky) and Mike Smith (Bubbles), John Paul was a featured guest on the cross-Canada Fear of the Trailer Park tour with Our Lady Peace. He also starred in The Tragically Hip’s music video, The Darkest One featuring Gord Downie and Don Cherry, and directed by Mike Clattenburg. John Paul and Robb Wells are also collaborating on a couple of feature film scripts, which they hope to have produced in the near future.

John Dunsworth (Mr. Lahey) was born in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, not far from the sea where he now spends most of his time on his yacht when he's not working. John is one of Halifax's most venerable and revered actors. He has appeared in countless CBC radio dramas and has held leading roles in over 25 Neptune Theatre productions. In 1970, long before the days of waterfront renewal, John convinced the city of Halifax to lease to him a run-down old building by the shipyards which he turned into Pier One Theatre – Halifax's first and arguably its most successful alternative theatre company.

John first met Mike Clattenburg in the mid-1990s when he auditioned for a small role in Mike's short, One Last Shot. Halfway through shooting, John's small role blossomed into a leading part – a part that garnered him a Best Performance award from the Atlantic Film Festival. From there, John developed that role into the character Jim Lahey, the trailer park supervisor on the series Trailer Park Boys.

John’s recent film credits include principle roles in Sleepmurder for CTV, Blessing for CBS, Shattered City: Halifax Explosion for Salter Street Films and Thom Fitzgerald’s Indie film Three Needles.

John is an avid bridge player, holding master points. He also holds, until somebody proves otherwise, the Internet Scrabble record for having three 7-letter words in a row. Around town, John is easy to spot. He drives an old truck with a thousand pound winch that he uses for hauling granite. In 1987, John founded Filmworks Casting where he worked as Halifax's most successful casting director. Prior to that, John worked in the transportation industry. To be precise, he drove a cab for three years and worked the CNR trains from Halifax and Sydney.

Patrick Roach (Randy) was born in Halifax now makes his home in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia. Aside from some sketch comedy he performed with Robb Wells and John Paul. Patrick had never acted before he took a role in Mike Clattenburg’s pilot Trailer Park Boys. He did so well that Clattenburg cast him as Randy, the Assistant Trailer Park Supervisor in the series. Besides playing Randy, Patrick holds down a full-time job as regional sales manager for Sparkling Springs, a bottled water company. He takes vacation days during the summer to act in the series.

Patrick first met John Paul in the summer of 1984 when John Paul agreed to drive Patrick and another friend to PEI to attend Mike Clattenburg's and Robb Wells' high school graduation party. John Paul, who had never met Patrick before this, thought Patrick and his buddy were a couple of "nerds". To Patrick, John Paul was the cool guy with the cool car. By the time they reached Cavendish, Patrick and John Paul became good buds. In fact, they became business partners. Patrick, Robb Wells and John Paul opened a restaurant business on the Island. Eventually Patrick and Robb sold their interests in the business to John Paul, who has expanded his operation to three restaurants. Like Robb Wells, Patrick holds a degree in business from Saint Mary's University in Halifax. Patrick is married to his wife Candyce and together they have two children.

Jonathan Torrens (J-Roc) has worked as a performer, writer and producer for 15 years. In 1989, he started a seven-year run as one of the hosts of Street Cents, an award-winning consumer/sketch show for youth. It was there that he and Mike Clattenburg became friends and the character of J-Roc was first conceived.

For five years he hosted the CBC Television show Jonovision, for which his sketch and character work earned him seven Gemini Award nominations, including Best Individual Performance in a Comedy Series and Best Comedy Series. Jonathan Cross’s Canada, his parody of a Charles Kuralt style newsmagazine show, aired on CBC in 2003.

As an actor, Jonathan has guest starred twice each on the topical comedies This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Royal Canadian Air Farce, along with recurring roles in the period drama Pit Pony and the sitcom Rideau Hall. This year he’s had guest starring roles on Degrassi: The Next Generation and the sketch comedy Listen Missy.

As a host, Jonathan’s credits are as varied as Living Romance, Canada Day, The CBC News Millenium Special, The East Coast Music Awards and Sesame Park.

In film, he won the Best Supporting Actor award at the 1999 Atlantic Film Festival for his feature debut in Thom Fitzgerald’s Beefcake. His first romantic comedy, The Breadmaker, premiered at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival in 2003.

Jonathan’s long list of accomplishments extends to the other side of the camera. He has produced and co-written two award-winning shorts, also with Mike Clattenburg: Liquor Store, which won Best Short and Best Director at the Atlantic Film Festival in 1996, and Nan’s Taxi, which won the Gemini Award for Best Short Drama in 1997.

Sarah Dunsworth made her acting debut at the age of six as the Virgin Mary on stage at Dalhousie Elementary School. “She was brilliant” says her mother, who herself had been acting at Halifax’s Pier One Theatre during the seventies.

At the age of 8, Sarah performed in the murder mystery “And when I wake…” at Neptune Theatre. “She stole the show” says her father, also an actor.

Besides stage, Sarah performed in CBC radio Dramas, a CBC Television Drama “The Lamplighter” and others. She doesn’t like to talk about her commercial work.

After taking a short break from the spotlight to pursue her career behind the scenes, Sarah made her triumphant return to Canadian television as the character “Sarah” on Trailer Park Boys. She loves working with the wonderful cast and crew on the show, especially her dad, Mr. Lahey.

She suggests anyone wanting a flattering bio ask their dad to write one for them.

Lucy DeCoutere is the last born (and tallest daughter) of a family of four. Her parents, a British child psychiatrist and a Czech born oboist/ knitting enthusiast knew from the beginning that she would amount to… something. "Whenever she was lost in the mall, we knew we would inevitably find her in front of a full-length mirror, belting out the songs from Cabaret." Well, since those humble beginnings, Lucy's love for performing has bloomed. Introduced to the stage through dance (if being a spinning top in a Grade 1 Christmas pageant really counts), Lucy did a number of productions through high school and minored in theatre in university. Immediately after graduation, Lucy traveled across the country with a theatre company for five months and started dabbling in the film industry shortly thereafter.

Lucy has held a number of 'straight' jobs, from teaching kindergarten in Korea to dealing Inuit art to copyediting and public relations, but after finishing grad school in Montreal, she is finally working in film and television production in Halifax, both in front of and behind the camera. She has just finished a production of the Vagina Monologues and is now playing around with a variety of film projects.

Lucy first encountered Mike Clattenburg at a party during a film festival a few years ago. Mike had seen a short film she had starred in and approached her about "writing a part for her" in his new movie. It wasn't until she was snuggled up with John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells in a bungalow in deepest darkest Dartmouth a few months later that she realized what a sh--storm she was suddenly involved in. The rest, as they say, is history.

"Trailer Park Boys has been awesome from start to finish. People seem to really get it, like, ladies in their sixties come up to me and say how much they think it rocks. Amazing. And I am very excited about watching the whole project evolve as we enter our third season this summer. This whole experience – phenomena, if you will – is fascinating and I'm loving the ride."

Lucy is a strict vegetarian and doesn’t drink or smoke, and when she isn’t at dance class or yoga, she chugs lattes. Lucy is a Virgo.
