Kyra Leroux

Since booking her first role in USA Network’s crime comedy series “Psych” at seven years old, Kyra Leroux (she/her)  has been a rising star in the entertainment industry. As a teen, Kyra built credits in notable series such as “Once Upon a Time” (ABC), “Six” (History Channel), “Brand New Cherry Flavor” (Netflix) opposite Catherine Keener, and the musical series “Schmigadoon!” (AppleTV+) opposite Keegan-Michael Key, Cecily Strong and Dove Cameron.  In her film debut, Kyra played Jess in “The J Team” (Paramount+) opposite YouTube star JoJo Siwa, which was nominated for two Children’s and Family Emmy Awards. She also starred as Demi Boovais in Monster High 2 (Nickelodeon) based on the famous Mattel doll franchise.

Kyra is best known for playing fan favourite Britta Beach on seasons five and six of the hugely popular series “Riverdale” (CW). The role, which was only meant to appear in two episodes, turned into a heavy recurring guest star, inspiring the beginning of Kyra’s loyal fan base. Another career highlight was playing Lisa-Karen, a stuck-up, bossy nerd in season two of “Firefly Lane” (Netflix).  During this time, Kyra also made her VoiceOver debut in “LEGO Dreamzzz: Trials of the Dream Chasers” as the voice of Miya.

As an accomplished dancer, a professionally trained vocalist, and an instrumentalist, Kyra has been involved in numerous stage productions throughout her career. Highlights include Alice in Metro Theatre’s outrageous pantomime “Alice in Wonderland”, Buttons in Theatre Under the Stars’ “Newsies,” and most recently the iconic role of Anne in Gateway Theatre’s “Anne of Green Gables”. As a dancer, Kyra was hand-picked out of over 300 dancers by the legendary director Kenny Ortega to recur in his original series “Julie and the Phantoms” (Netflix).

After a whirlwind two and a half years of balancing multiple projects in Canada, Kyra packed up her things and moved to New York City. There, she participated in play readings at Bobby Moresco’s Actor’s Gym, a development workshop for writers, and completed a full year of the Meisner Technique with the Neighbourhood Playhouse’s Jim Brill. She also co-wrote, produced, and starred in the short film “Preeminently Peggy Pittman,” available to watch on YouTube.

With an added depth to her already extensive training as an actor, Kyra recently joined the cast of “The Hunting Party” (NBC) as Samantha, adopted daughter of an ex-FBI agent with a dark past, set to premiere in 2025.
