Roger Anthony Lemke is a Canadian actor. He is known for portraying Brian Becker on CTV's fantasy drama The Listener, Dan Malloy on Bravo's police drama 19-2, and Ryan Elliot on Hallmark Channel's fantasy comedy-drama Good Witch. In French Canada, Lemke is known for playing David Rothstein on Radio Canada's comedy-drama Les Hauts et les bas de Sophie Paquin.
He appears as Three (Marcus Boone/Titch) on Syfy's science-fiction drama Dark Matter.
Anthony Lemke was born in Ottawa, Ontario. He is the child of immigrants, his parents having arrived from The Netherlands and East Prussia in the early 1960s. Lemke attended elementary and high school in French under the immersion programs at Knoxdale Public School, Greenbank Middle School and Sir Robert Borden High School in Nepean.
Upon graduation he moved to Waterloo, Ontario to study theatre at the University of Waterloo. Lemke also holds degrees in both common law and civil law, having graduated from the McGill University Faculty of Law with Distinction.
Lemke landed his first professional role in a production of the play Nurse Jane Goes to Hawaii by the Canadian playwright Allan Stratton at what is now the King's Wharf Theatre. His first role in a TV series followed shortly thereafter when he was cast in La Femme Nikita. He got the role largely because he could speak Czech from the year he spent teaching English in the Czech Republic.
