Emma-Rose Taylor-Isherwood (born April 27, 1987 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian actress, best known for her roles as Mona Parker in the TV series Mona the Vampire and Josie Trent in the science fiction program Strange Days at Blake Holsey High.
She began her career at the age of nine, with a voice role in the animated special Teddy Bears Rescue, before lending her voice for Miffy and Mona the Vampire. She has appeared in movie including Tales from the Neverending Story, The Shipping News and Who Gets The House.
Emma is a chameleon who relishes getting into character and has performed, in both dramatic and comedy roles. Nominated for two Young Artist Awards for her roles in Mary Cassatt an American Impressionist and Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, one of Emma’s most memorable experiences was the dramatic role of young Agnes in the Golden Globe nominated film The Shipping News directed by Lasse Hallstrom.
She is also well known for her role as the free-spirited, adventurous intelligent, and intrusive Josie Trent on Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, also known as Black Hole High. At the 24th Annual Young Artist Awards (2003), Emma was nominated for Supporting Young Actress in a TV series (comedy or drama), for the series. She was on a camping trip, when she found out she got the part as "Josie" on Strange Days.
She is currently represented by Amanda Rosenthall Talent Agency and Butler Ruston Bell Agency.
Emma Taylor-Isherwood had an interesting start in acting. When she was around eight years old, she asked her parents if she could have acting lessons. She was in the habit of starting a lesson (such as dance or piano) and then quickly giving it up. So her parents made a compromise: she could take acting lessons if she made the money for it herself. Taylor-Isherwood rose to the challenge and began making papier-mâché hats. The Ottawa Citizen heard of it, and wrote an article on her. After that article, she quickly made the money she needed to go to acting lessons.
