Tasya Teles has carved the way for the creation of strong-willed female characters across TV. From the frozen Azgedan landscape in The 100 to being the boss of a Canadian hockey team in Shoresy. We love it when revolutionary women combat social norms and dare to defy them for a change.
So who is the Canadian actress Tasya Teles? Here are some quick facts about her, including her birth, career, and family. She's a fascinating woman, to say the very least.
5 facts about Canadian actress Tasya Teles
She's an Aquarius
Tasya was born on February 1st, 1985 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which makes her an Aquarius in the Zodiac chart. She's of Brazilian and Ukrainian descent, respectively, which only adds to her physical beauty. As a child, she relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia, and majored in theater at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec.
Her parents are Lucio and Linda (Harasim) Teles, who were professors in Canada. Tasya also has a younger sister, Tanikka.
Her early acting credits included small roles in the CW's Supernatural and iZombie.
Prior to her acting career, Tasya worked as a model, and many of her pictorials can be found on her site at TasyaTeles.com.
She portrayed the fierce Azgedian spy, Echo, in the sci-fi drama, The 100
When Echo was first introduced on one of my all-time favorite shows, The 100, she was about to be drained inside the lab at Mt. Weather in season 2. Fortunately, Bellamy Blake, portrayed by the Australian actor Bob Morley, rescued her by taking her place.
That wasn't the last time we would see Echo, as her role was upgraded to recurring character from seasons 2 through 4 and leading star from season 5 until the series' finale. And yes, we all cried when Bellamy died.
Aside from being Bellamy's lover, Echo is a fan favorite due to her strength, ferocity, and vulnerability. Besides, she was great at sword fighting, a skill that's challenging to achieve.

Being the boss on the hockey comedy, Shoresy
Tasya stepped away from the sci-fi realm and entered her Comedy Era when she was recruited as Nat, the no-nonsense manager of a struggling Canadian hockey team in Shoresy. In a sport that men mainly dominate, Tasya's performance only highlighted that women can be just as powerful in the field, even if they're not physically involved in the game.

Tasya owns a string of Canadian restaurant called The Parlour
The Parlour Restaurants offers a variety of delicious pizzas, starters, drinks, and other dishes that will surely savor anyone's palette. When I visited the Vancouver location four years in a row, I enjoyed their Margherita pizza, as it was flavorful yet spicy, with just the right amount of cheese.
Parlour is a popular attraction among citizens and tourists alike. Along with Vancouver, other locations include Toronto and Deer Lady Toronto.
Tasya has a growing movie list
She might be a familiar face on TV shows, but Tasya has starred in movies on both small and large screens. Some of her credits include Hallmark's Autumn Dreams, which additionally starred Chicago's very own Colin Egglesfield, Lifetime's Damaged, and the Christmas movie Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever. The latter starred the beloved internet cat, the late Tarter Sauce, who's been pop-cultured as Grumpy Cat.
