Drummond Stairs Macdougall was born in Eastern Canada, to 7th generation Canadians J.W.Graham Macdougall, from Cape Breton, and Phyllis Stairs of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Drummond studied acting at Queen's University, receiving a Film Acting Minor, along with an Honours Business degree and first enjoyed a successful career in Investment Banking. After surviving cancer in 2004 he reconnected with his passion for acting and studied with numerous coaches and mentors including, LA's Larry Moss, Vancouver Actor's Foundry's Matthew Harrison, Jeb Beach, Andrew McIlroy, and Ben Ratner. He lives with his beautiful Animal-Whisperer wife Karen and has two awesome and successful sons Fraser and Graham. Drummond's low-key humour and reliable, hardworking nature have helped him emerge as a solid, talented and professional actor who adds value to every production. Having recently finished his 38th film and television production and 31st Commercial project, Drummond has built a broad base of acting experience, as well as many dramatic and musical stage roles. Drummond's tremendous "been there- done that" depth of experience allows him to play the "suffer no fools" loving dad you just don't want to screw with when he's protecting his family (Chris Cooper in American Beauty), or the burnt out but relentless lawyer who's still quick with the joke. He is the military General, the senior FBI operative, Head Detective or Coroner, and is great as the tough but loving Coach (Million Dollar Baby) As a former high-level investment banker, put Drummond in a suit and he's the ruthless business tycoon ... dressed down, he commands that Sam Shepard/Nicholas Campbell rugged cowboy/blue-collar charm. Drummond's sense of humour underlies it all - a guy who can have a good laugh at himself and the world - and this brings a humanity to all his characters. Drummond's smart, strong and sensitive character will surprise you as he reveals both the light and dark side of the human condition.
