Ted Atherton's breakthrough in the entertainment industry came when he landed the role of Pan Philips in the CBC TV series "Nothing Too Good For A Cowboy", a decision that would ultimately lead to a prestigious Gemini Award nomination in 2000 for "Best Lead in a Continuing Dramatic Role". This recognition not only solidified his status as a talented actor but also introduced him to a wider audience, paving the way for his future success.

Ted's most notable role to date is undoubtedly that of the sarcastic yet witty F.B.I. Agent Myles Leland III in the syndicated TV series "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye", a character that has captured the hearts of fans everywhere. However, it's not just his work in front of the camera that showcases his impressive range as an actor.
