North Rory Homewood

North Rory Homewood is an actor and singer who holds a goal of breaking emotional barriers and strives to spread kindness and thoughtfulness wherever he goes.  North is passionate about marginalized storytelling, advocating giving more voice to marginalized communities. Though he tends to lean more toward playing cisgender characters, he enjoys playing trans roles when they come his way.

North has been seen all over Chicago theatre for the last several years, including in The Winter's Tale at Oak Park Festival Theatre (Camillo), Mamma Mia! at Music Theater Works (Harry Bright), Theo Ubique's Working, and leading the cast of Southern Comfort at Pride Films and Plays as trans father figure Robert Eads.  He enjoyed his television debut last year in Showtime's Work In Progress, and has been getting his feet wet in voiceover with audiobooks and story podcasts.

Outside of his direct career path, North has taught himself to play the ukulele and enjoys writing as a hobby, from music he sometimes shares on YouTube to monologues he hopes to someday publish in a book for actors seeking audition material.  North, who dedicates his career to his late spouse Echo, looks forward to someday being an adoptive parent and to waving around a wand or a lightsaber professionally.
