Happy birthday, actress Sheila McCarthy!

I first fell in love with Sheila McCarthy, born January 1, 1956 in Toronto, Canada, when I saw her brief appearance in Day After Tomorrow.  Later I saw her in Little Mosque on the Prairie and became a fan.  

She has won numerous awards and nominated for many more.  I looked at her filmography and she's appeared in film I've seen but don't remember her performance.  I'll just have to back and rewatch those.  

She voiced the part of Amelia Voght in the 1995 X-Men animated series. She's appeared in Star Trek: Discovery and The Murdoch Mysteries.

"Murdoch Mysteries" debuts 2008

Murdoch Mysteries aired its first television episode January 24, 2008.  It stars gorgeous actor Yannick Bisson as Detective William Murdoch and Helene Joy as Dr. Julia Ogden, the medical examiner and Murdoch's main love interest.

The series is set in the late 1890s in Toronto and Murdoch uses the latest forensic techniques such as fingerprinting to solve crimes.

It is now in its 13th season.
