“Ginny & Georgia” Cast: Meet the Characters and Who Plays Them

Until Ginny & Georgia, Mason had been studying theatre and acting in local productions in Vancouver. To book his breakthrough role, he took a leap of faith and submitted a self-audition tape to the casting agent in Los Angeles. And the rest, as they say, is history.

One-fourth of MANG (a friendship acronym of Max, Abby, Norah, and Ginny’s names), Abby has a strong personality. She loves to have a good time, and she wears her tenacity like a mask to cover her insecurities. She’s struggling with her body image, and her parents’ impending divorce only makes her feel more alone. So she acts out for attention, desperate for someone to actually hear her.

Her portrayer Katie Douglas has been acting since childhood, appearing in dozens of TV series including Defiance, Raising Expectations, and Mary Kills People. Her starring role in Spooksville even earned her a Daytime Creative Arts Emmy nomination for outstanding performer in a children’s series. The 22-year-old was born in Ontario, Canada, and in addition to acting she also likes painting, drawing, and making music.

Low-key the rock of the group, Chelsea Clark’s Norah is a supportive friend who’s always there for her girls. But she’s also not afraid to call them out when they cross a line (or for their basic tastes). In an interview with Mud Mag, 22-year-old Clark describes the atmosphere of the show as “very focused on female empowerment, female collectiveness, and really helping raise your peers and not being in competition with everyone.”

Yet another Degrassi alum, Clark is currently living in Toronto and studying Anthropology in university.

Canadian actor and comedian Jennifer Robertson plays Ellen Baker, Georgia’s scene-stealing neighbor and Max and Marcus’s mom. A typical mom with rowdy kids and too much on her plate, Ellen is just doing her best. No one understands that more than Georgia, who becomes her confidante. Together, they make fun of the other PTA moms and discuss their parenting woes over bottles of wine and the occasional illegal substance.
