Ara, from Beach Mornings on 103.1 Beach Radio caught up with Roark Critchlow.
He was a star on TV soap Days of Our Lives in the 1990s as Dr. Mike Horton, and featured in the science fiction TV show V and family drama Pretty Little Liars among over 100 credits in TV and movies spanning 30 years.
Critchlow, who was raised in Summerland, is just another example of the exceptional talent that makes their home here in Kelowna.
While his main job is as the head of the acting department at the Centre for Arts and Technology, he remains active on camera and still goes for auditions.
On the big screen, Critchlow had a role in Tron: Ares (2025), and he's a regular in a franchise of TV movies The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries, of which the latest is due for release soon.
