Ennis Esmer
ENNIS ESMER is best known for his work as arms dealing hedonist turned FBI consultant Rich Dotcom on NBC’s Blindspot, lothario / tennis pro Nash in Amazon’s Red Oaks, and the ultra-challenging role of “Ennis” on the hit CTV series Children Ruin Everything, for which he won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy 3 years in a row. He is currently hosting season 5 of Roast Battle Canada on CTV, and can soon be seen as Dr Jamie Astaphan in the Paramount+ meta-comedy-biopic-limited series Hate The Player, about the rise and fall of Ben Johnson. He recently played a murderous tech bro on Law & Order, a murdered comedian on Law & Order: Toronto, and a jerk CEO on CBS’ Ghosts, who doesn’t get murdered or murder anybody. Other recent highlights include the indie feature I Used to Be Funny, starring Rachel Sennot, which premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival and was nominated for the Grand Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature, and Netflix limited series The Madness, starring Colman Domingo & John Ortiz. Previously, he played Oz on CTV/NBC’s The Listener for five seasons and is well known for recurring roles on Schitt’s Creek, The Flash, Netflix’s You Me Her, Syfy’s Dark Matter, FXX’s Man Seeking Woman and CW/CTV’s The L.A. Complex.
