RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS ENT - local Marvel Portraits of Winnipeg, Katarina Ziervogel, who had her debut with a role in Marvelճ Disney+ series Echo. Katarina Ziervogel, a 27-year-old from Winnipeg with very little acting experience, made her small-screen debut on a pretty large scale Рwith a role in Marvelճ Disney+ series Echo. Ziervogelճ previous on-screen experience included some background acting, and a film she co-wrote with Madison Thomas Р Finality of Dusk Ѡhas played major festivals. But Ziervogel was convinced to send in an audition after she saw a posting for the role of Taloa in Echo: they were looking for an Indigenous, deaf actor to take on the job. Ziervogel figured if there was ever a sign that she should move from behind the camera to in front, this was it. Reporter: Ben Waldman Feb 1st, 2024
