Biography

 
 

From the stages of Vancouver's theaters, to film and television screens, to national radio ads, and the vibrant worlds of Saturday morning cartoons, Adrian Petriw's career has proved to be as diverse as his range as a performer.

 With the support of his family and mentors like Babz Chula, Kate Twa, and John Cassini, he began to work as a professional actor in his adolescence, and has since appeared in dozens of film and television projects such as the Farrelly Brother’s comedies Loudermilk and The Now, Sci Fi’s Van Helsing, CW's Legends of Tomorrow, iZombie, and Arrow, AMC's Hell on Wheels, and The Killing and Fox's Lucifer.

Adrian is also one of Canada’s premiere voice talents, having lent his voice to dozens of major animated franchises and hundreds of radio, web and TV commercials. 

A lover of theatre,  he co-founded Blind Pig Theatre  in 2010, and produced or performed in many of their sold-out productions.

Adrian is an activist and proud member of the Ukrainian Canadian community, co-founding the non-profit Ukrainian Canadian Advocacy Group in 2022 following Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. To date, the small volunteer organization has raised over $100,000 for humanitarian work in Ukraine.

When he isn't chasing after his kids, acting, voice acting, coaching or producing, Adrian is likely to be found riding his bike or hiking beautiful British Columbia, Canada… Or napping.
