Ingrid Veninger (born August 21, 1968) is a Canadian actress, writer, director, producer, and film professor at York University.
Veninger was born in Bratislava, before immigrating to Canada in the 1970s with her parents, where she was subsequently raised. Veninger got her start in show business in an advertisement for Bell Canada with Megan Follows at age 11.
As a teen actress, Veninger appeared in a number of films and television series, including the CBC comedy-drama series Airwaves (1986–87).
In 1989, at the age of 21, Veninger branched out into producing by optioning the rights to Margaret Atwood's novel Cat’s Eye. She also worked as an assistant director on Atom Egoyan's The Adjuster (1991) and produced Jeremy Podeswa’s Gemini-nominated music documentary Standards (1992), and Peter Mettler's northern lights documentary Picture of Light (1994).
As an actress, she has worked with Meryl Streep, Holly Hunter, Jackie Burroughs, among others.
In 2000, after working for most of the 1990s as an actress (including a recurring role on the Canadian action series La Femme Nikita), Veninger attended the Canadian Film Centre, where she produced fellow student Julia Kwan’s award-winning short film, Three Sisters on Moon Lake (2001), which played at Sundance and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
