Joanne Boland

Joanne Boland (born November 27, 1975) is a Canadian actress, best known for her regular role as Dana in the television series Train 48.[1]

Originally from Brampton, Ontario,[1] she began her acting career in late 1990s with stage roles,[2] before beginning to appear in film and television in the early 2000s. At the time she was also performing in the Toronto area as a singer-songwriter, although after she was cast in Train 48 her musical career took a back seat due to the demands of filming a regular leading role in a daily television series, although her character in the show was also written as a musician.[3] She first came to the attention of the Train 48 producers after a three-episode story arc in Blue Murder.[3]

Following the end of Train 48 she had a recurring role as Margaret in Slings & Arrows.[4] Her later television roles have included recurring roles in ZOS: Zone of Separation,[5] Being Erica, Copper, Gangland Undercover and Strange Empire.[6]

In film her roles have included former prime minister Kim Campbell in the 2011 satirical film Mulroney: The Opera,[7] and Elisha Devine in The Well.[8]

She married actor Dylan Trowbridge in 2003.[9]
