Corey William Large (born 18 October 1975) is a Canadian writer, actor, and producer of feature movies.[1]

Early life and education[]

Large was born and raised in the Prospect Lake area of Saanich near Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[2]

After elementary school, he enrolled at St. Michaels University School.

Career[]

Initially, he found work as a model. At age 21, he moved across the Georgia Strait and enrolled at the Vancouver Film School[3] and later at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles.[4]

He also had a background role in the film Excess Baggage (1997), starring Alicia Silverstone, and in 1998 with a role on Disturbing Behavior with then unknown Katie Holmes.

He soon realized that his real opportunities in the film industry lay in post-production and financing projects.[2]

He returned to St. Michaels University School[5] to direct and act in Window Theory, a movie he also produced, and which was released in 2005. Luke Flynn was his co-star in the film.

Large returned to his native Victoria to begin shooting a series of films starting with the "Cannabis Kid", about a teen who becomes a marijuana smuggler.[2][6]

Large currently splits his time between Santa Monica, Victoria and Hawaii.
