Melissa McIntyre is a Canadian actress. She is best known for her role as Ashley Kerwin on the television series "Degrassi: The Next Generation."
McIntyre had relatively humble beginnings in acting, as she was a participant of many community theatre plays as a small girl. Among the plays that she participated in were The Wizard of Oz and The Secret Garden.
McIntyre made her television debut at age eleven in the 1997 series, "Timesweep," where she got to play an extraterrestrial being. In 1998, she was cast for another television show, "Real Kids, Real Adventures."
McIntyre is also one of the now-rare radio actresses, as she played the lead character in Disco Does Not Suck, a show that had a relatively long stay on the airwaves. She took some time off during 1999 to participate mainly in theatre, but in 2000 the thirteen-year-old actress returned to television, doing a voice-over in the cartoon series Mattimeo: A Tale of Redwall, as the character "Cornflower".
It wasn't until 2001 that McIntyre reached national fame in Canada, when "Degrassi: The Next Generation," began filming there. A sequel to the popular mid-1980s series Degrassi High, Degrassi: The Next Generation proved extremely popular among Canadian and American teenagers, and, by being cast as Ashley Kerwin, McIntyre was given one of the leading characters of the series. Ashley is a member of a high school music band, and McIntyre appears sporting both long and short hair in the series.
