Canadian Idol S3 winner Melissa O’Neil has forged quite a different path for herself since her days on the reality singing competition. The 27-year-old star has switched to acting, landing a role as a regular on the sci-fi series Dark Matter, which is now in its second season.
O’Neil, who released an album in 2005 shortly after her win, transitioned from music to acting, starring in musicals such as Les Miserables in Toronto, Canada. In an interview with Calgary Herald, the actress reveals she was preparing to play a part in the same musical on Broadway about the same time the auditions for Dark Matter took place.
