Grace Dove: Movies & Filmography

Grace Dove is a Canadian actress and television host whose career has been marked by a deep commitment to authentic Indigenous representation and a versatile range of roles. Born on July 25, 1991, in Canim Lake, British Columbia, Canada, she grew up in Prince George, where she first appeared on the local children's show Splatterday as an on‑air correspondent at the age of ten, foreshadowing a lifelong passion for performance. After graduating from Kelly Road Secondary School, she pursued formal training at the Vancouver Film School, honing her craft before stepping onto the international stage. Her breakout role came in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 2015 Oscar‑winning film The Revenant, where she portrayed the unnamed Pawnee wife of Hugh Glass, delivering an emotionally resonant performance opposite Leonardo DiCaprio that required both physical endurance and spiritual openness.

Beyond that early acclaim, Dove has continued to expand her artistic portfolio with notable credits such as the post‑apocalyptic thriller How It Ends (2018), the critically praised Indigenous‑focused drama Bones of Crows (2022) where she embodied Aline Spears, a residential‑school survivor turned Code Talker, and the ABC series Alaska Daily (2022) alongside Hilary Swank, highlighting the tragic issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. She also co‑hosted the reality‑action series UnderExposed and competed as a runner‑up on The Amazing Race Canada 11 with her brother Joe Syme in 2025. Recognized by The New York Times as a rising face in entertainment, Dove leverages her platform to amplify Indigenous stories, collaborate with filmmakers, and inspire the next generation of Native talent.
