Biography

Aron Tager, a talented individual, was born in Brooklyn, New York in the year 1934. He spent his formative years in this bustling city, where he nurtured his creative skills and developed a passion for art and sculpture. As he grew older, Tager's artistic inclinations only intensified, leading him to make the bold decision to relocate to Canada.

Upon arriving in Canada, Tager's artistic talents did not go unnoticed, and he soon found himself appearing in various Canadian theatre productions.

During this period, he dedicated himself to the world of art, sculpture, and poetry, allowing him to hone his skills and develop a unique style.

In 1991, Tager's artistic hiatus came to an end, and he began to re-emerge onto the scene with his wife, Ann Page. Together, they delved into the world of film and theatre, with Tager's acting career taking center stage.
