Diego Klattenhoff

Despite spending his early years in Nova Scotia, he moved to Toronto as a teen and lived in the city for about seven years. He went on to star in a number of wonderful projects, and returned to his adopted homeland for the Rogers Upfront, to celebrate that City will now be the exclusive Canadian home of new episodes of his show The Blacklist, in which Klattenhoff plays special agent Donald Ressler. The charming actor has a legion of fans, so we were excited to sit down with the actor in a downtown Toronto hotel suite to talk about his impressive career.

Canadian actor Diego Klattenhoff got his first big break for his role as Shane Oman (“above the projection room!”) in Mean Girls. Fast-forward 10 years, and the handsome star from Nova Scotia is commanding the screen in some of television’s most critically acclaimed series.
