Tonight Friday 6 pm on Sauga 960 AM 960 AM I interview Kris Orticello an actor, model, singer and social influencers on what motivates her and yet keeps her grounded.

Riveting performances and a natural charisma have secured Kris Orticello as one of the most outstanding Canadian actors to catapult into the US market. She has been featured in US Weekly Magazine, FOX News, ABC News, NBC News, along with many other publications for her performances. Kris began her acting and modeling career at the age of 7, although her ultimate passion was singing. Her greatest musical influence was her papa, who sang and played guitar. In 2005, Kris suffered a serious car accident shortly before attending the Grammy Awards. Compelled by her strong Christian faith and love of animals, Kris has refused several roles that required her to carry out blasphemy, nudity, and eating meat.

Kris holds certificates from Harvard University for both contract law and humanitarian response to conflict and disaster, as well as a certificate from George Brown College for medical terminology. She is currently studying psychology online through Yale University. Kris has appeared in various film and television roles, first breaking through on Canadian television as a regular dancer on Much Music's Electric Circus. She was then hired regularly to model for various brands on The Shopping Channel and later QVC. She has been cast in television commercials and hired as a brand ambassador. Her most notable recent lead roles aired nationally in the United States: US Weekly's Famous Feuds and Broke and Famous.
