When Toronto's Lyndie Greenwood received the script material for CTV’s library-based comedy “Shelved” more than a year ago, she was living in California and prepared to say goodbye to her acting career.
“The profession can be a really hard slog mentally and emotionally and it just wasn’t working,” says Greenwood, whose previous credits include CW’s “Nikita,” Fox's “Sleepy Hollow” and the Toronto-shot sci-fi series “The Expanse.”
It stars Greenwood as the ever-positive Wendy Yarmouth, who runs a branch in Parkdale, a neighbourhood in Toronto's West End. Greenwood says she felt a new-found energy for acting when she read Farrell’s characterization of a librarian who fit closely to who she was as a person. “One of the beautiful things about working on this show back in Toronto was being reintroduced to the library,” adds Greenwood. “I started going back and it’s a love that I’m really happy to have rekindled.”
The 68-year-old, who’s appeared in an array of film and TV series such as “Schitt’s Creek" and “SCTV,” auditioned for the part because she thought the writing was so good, it would allow her to portray someone as complicated as Wendy.
