Family background
Chloe Rose was born on October 25, 1994, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[5] She was raised in the city.[9]Education
Rose grew up in Toronto, where she pursued her early education with a focus on the performing arts. She attended the Etobicoke School of the Arts, a public high school specializing in arts programs including drama, dance, and music, graduating in 2012.[10][9][11] At Etobicoke School of the Arts, Rose received formal training in acting during her high school years, honing skills that sparked her interest in professional performance. She studied alongside contemporaries such as Aislinn Paul, another aspiring actress, which contributed to her early development in the field by providing a collaborative environment for artistic exploration.[12]Career
Early roles and Degrassi breakthrough
Rose began her acting career shortly after graduating from the Etobicoke School of the Arts in Toronto, where she developed her performance skills. Her professional debut arrived in 2011 when she landed the recurring role of Katie Matlin on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation, appearing across 57 episodes from 2011 to 2013.[10][13][14] In the series, Rose portrayed Katie Matlin, an ambitious and athletic high school student navigating complex personal challenges. The character's arc prominently featured her struggle with bulimia nervosa, which became a focal point during the student council election storyline in season 11, where rumors of her condition threatened to derail her campaign and prompted fears of relapse. Katie's narrative also explored turbulent romantic relationships, particularly her on-again, off-again involvement with Drew Torres, marked by themes of consent, addiction, and emotional dependency. Additionally, family dynamics played a key role, as Katie balanced support for her younger sister Maya amid household tensions and her mother's overbearing expectations.[15][13] The portrayal of Katie Matlin served as Rose's breakthrough, significantly boosting her visibility in the Canadian teen drama genre and establishing her as a compelling young talent capable of handling sensitive, issue-driven storylines. Degrassi: The Next Generation, renowned for addressing real-world adolescent struggles, provided Rose with a platform that resonated with audiences and critics alike, solidifying her early reputation in television.[9][16]Independent films and web series
Following her breakout role on the television series Degrassi: The Next Generation, Chloe Rose transitioned into independent cinema and digital content, leveraging her early exposure to secure roles in thoughtful dramas and genre films that highlighted her range as a young actress.[3] Rose's first major film appearance came in 2012 with The Lesser Blessed, directed by Anita Doron and adapted from Richard Van Camp's novel of the same name. In the coming-of-age drama set in a remote Northern Canadian town, she portrayed Juliet Hope, a peer to the protagonist Larry Sole (Joel Evans), navigating themes of isolation, trauma, and First Nations youth experiences amid racial tensions and personal scars. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and earned praise for its authentic depiction of Indigenous adolescence, with Rose's performance contributing to the ensemble's emotional depth.[17][18] In 2015, Rose took on the lead role of Dora Vogel in the horror film Hellions, directed by Bruce McDonald. The story follows the pregnant teenager as she confronts a nightmarish Halloween invasion by supernatural, goblin-like creatures in her rural home, blending psychological dread with visceral terror. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film showcased Rose's ability to anchor a tense, atmospheric thriller, drawing comparisons to classic teen horror while emphasizing her character's vulnerability and resilience.[19][20] Rose continued exploring horror in 2017's Pyewacket, a psychological thriller written and directed by Adam MacDonald. She played Janice, the supportive best friend to the central character Leah Reyes (Nicole Muñoz), who impulsively summons a forest demon named Pyewacket in a ritual to harm her mother amid family strife and grief. The film delves into the consequences of adolescent rebellion and occult fascination, with Rose's portrayal adding layers of loyalty and unease to the intimate narrative. It received acclaim for its slow-burn tension and strong performances, screening at festivals like Fantasia.[21][22] On the digital front, Rose starred as Bree, the central protagonist, in the web series Teenagers from 2014 to 2017, created by M.H. Murray and Sara Tamosauskas. The ensemble-driven dramedy follows a group of diverse high school seniors grappling with identity, relationships, racism, violence, and sexuality, including queer experiences among the characters. Rose's Bree evolves through personal conflicts and group dynamics over three seasons, earning the series recognition for its raw portrayal of contemporary teen life in Toronto. Episodes were released on platforms like YouTube, fostering a dedicated online audience.[23][24] In 2018, Rose appeared in a supporting role as Kate "Mirage" Valery in the independent film eHero, directed by Michael A. MacRae. The story centers on a young gamer (Greg Hovanessian) navigating the competitive esports world, with Rose's character providing key emotional support within the team's high-stakes environment. The film highlighted emerging digital culture and ambition, marking another step in her post-Degrassi indie trajectory.[25] Rose further demonstrated her affinity for horror in 2019's She Never Died, directed by Austin Stark and Oliver Laxe. She played Sandra, a friend of the immortal protagonist Lacey (Olunike Adeliyi), who endures endless torment from captors while grappling with her supernatural endurance and fractured psyche. The film blends action, horror, and dark humor, with Rose's performance adding to the ensemble's intensity in this tale of unkillable resilience.[26][27]Hiatus and recent return
Following the release of her 2019 film She Never Died, Chloe Rose did not appear in any major acting roles for several years, marking a career pause from approximately 2020 to 2023.[3] Rose made her return to television in 2024, portraying the guest character Iona Campbell in the episode "A Heavy Event" from season 17 of the Canadian period drama series Murdoch Mysteries.[28][29] This appearance represented her first on-screen role in over four years and shifted toward more mature, historical settings compared to her prior work in teen-oriented productions.[2] As of November 2025, Rose has no announced projects for the year, indicating a measured re-entry into the industry following her extended break.[3]Filmography
