Judah Katz (born 23 June 1960) is a Canadian actor born in Montreal, Quebec.[1] He has worked in Toronto and Los Angeles[2] for more than 30 years, appearing in both TV series and films.

Winning an ACTRA award (now called a Gemini Award) for his very first foray in front of a camera in 1983 as "best new actor in Canadian Television",[3] he also received a Gemini for "best supporting actor" for his role as Alan Eagleson[4] in the CBC mini-series Canada Russia '72.[5][6]

Katz studied acting for two years at Vanier College and a further three years at the Dome Professional Theatre School.[2] He has also studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts and with the "voice doctor" Robert Easton of Los Angeles. Since 1992 he has trained with renowned film and television acting coach and teacher David Rotenberg.[citation needed]
