Career[]
Niamh Wilson began her career with a role in Warner Brother's pilot Chasing Alice at the age of five. Although the pilot film did not result in a series, she did meet Ralph Hemecker, who was to direct her in Haunting Sarah two years later. Her portrayal of Sarah Lewis garnered her a Young Artist Award in 2006. While in Los Angeles for the awards, she and her mother created a CBC Radio documentary for the Outfront program called "Child Star Goes to Hollywood" about their road trip to Hollywood.
Wilson was cast in Ice Planet as Commander Trager's daughter. She has appeared in numerous films and episodic television, generally in dramatic adult-oriented vehicles. However, a comedic role eluded her until she was cast in the title role of Debra Delong in the Family Channel series Debra!, produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment. The pilot was shot in the spring of 2010, and Family Channel picked up the series in the summer of the same year. The first episode premiered on June 4, 2011. Wilson won the Young Artist Award for Leading Actress in a TV Series for Debra! in May 2012. The series also won for Best Young Ensemble in a TV Series.
