The actress is also known from her work in Street Legal, 24, Blue Murder, Murdoch Mysteries, Terminal City; and dozens of other projects.

Ex-child actor’s hit-and-run death was ‘drunk and angry’ attempt to scare, defence says at start of Toronto murder trial

Ryan Andrews maintains he did not mean to run over Gabriel Del Castillo Mullally and therefore did not have the intention to commit murder.

''There is no dispute that Ryan Andrews, 26, was behind the wheel of the Subaru Outback when it left the road and went onto the sidewalk and struck Del Castillo Mullally, 25, as he was leaving a nearby after-hours bar called the Rusty Nail.
The main issues at the trial will be whether Andrews intended to strike Del Castillo Mullally and if the killing was planned and deliberate.''
