Ludivine Reding
Ludivine Reding started her acting career at the age of eight, in the movie La Belle Bête, with Caroline Dhavernas. That same year, she discovered dubbing; Ludivine has taken part in more than 200 projects to date. In 2014, Ludivine played Jamie Hébert on the TV show La Théorie du K.O. The next year, her role in the web series Tezo earned her a Gémeaux prize nomination. In 2017, Ludivine landed critical roles in the TV series La Dérape and the feature film Wolfe. Ludivine’s searing, lead performance in the TV drama Fugueuse made all of Quebec fall in love with her. For her masterful rendering of Fanny—the valiant protagonist who survives human trafficking in this important and socially conscious story—Ludivine was awarded the Gala Artis’ accolade for Best Dramatic Performance and fêted with the Gala des Zapettes d’or’s Promising Artist of The Year honor. Prior to commencing shooting for the second season of Fugueuse, Ludivine will be playing Jasmine in the daily program Clash. The young bilingual actress has dual Belgian and Canadian citizenship and aspires to an international career.
Character: Charlene Agnes “Jitterbug” Samuelson
Jitterbug was given her sobriquet due to her nervous, shrinking disposition. Born in Yates County, New York, she committed patricide when she was ten after years of abuse. Jitterbug was subsequently committed to Grover Secure Psychiatric Institute. Her whole life was spent waiting for someone to care for and take care of her. Then Birdie walked into Grover and did just that. She no longer had to think about her past because, with Birdie, Jitterbug felt she’d been born again.
