Claire Qute

Actress | Filmmaker | Fashion-Lover

Claire Qute was born in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. From a very young age, she has been incredibly passionate about acting and filmmaking. Growing up as a biracial girl with big dreams in a small town had its challenges, but she channeled all of her experiences into creative outlets like acting, writing, and filmmaking. She did musical theatre from ages 8 to 10, began her professional acting career at 11, and began her professional filmmaking career at 16.

Most notably, Claire starred as a series regular in the police procedural drama ‘The Detail’ (CTV) alongside Shenae Grimes-Beech. Other works include an appearance in CBS’s ‘Star Trek: Discovery,’ and most recently, Claire can be seen in a recurring guest star role in the new A24/Amazon series ‘Overcompensating.’

‘Stained,’ (premiered at the Toronto Shorts International Film Festival) is Claire Qute's directorial debut.
