Derek Hamilton, a renowned individual, hails from Northern New Brunswick, where his grandfather, a village blacksmith, played a significant role in his early life. As a celebrated athlete, Derek excelled in various sports, including hockey and boxing, earning him the Maritime Provinces Golden Gloves title during his teenage and early adult years. His impressive skills also led him to participate in the Bon Ami Festival's (Dalhousie, New Brunswick) Tough man competition at the tender age of 18, where he emerged victorious and used the prize money to relocate from the Maritime Provinces to Vancouver, British Columbia.
Derek's journey took an unexpected turn when he was discovered by a casting agent who noticed him dropping off an actress at an audition. This serendipitous encounter marked the beginning of his two-decade-long career in film and television. Throughout these years, Derek has consistently worked in the industry, honing his craft and building a reputation as a talented actor. When he's not on set, Derek dedicates his time to raising his beautiful family on British Columbia's stunning Pacific coast, where he resides with his loved ones.
