Mini Bio
Nina Constantinova Dobreva was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. She
moved to Canada at the age of two and has lived in Toronto, Ontario ever
since. From a very young age, she showed great enthusiasm and talent
for the arts: Dance, Gymnastics, Theatre, Music, Visual arts, and
Acting! Modeling jobs led to commercials, which then turned into film
auditions. Shortly after, she booked roles in the feature films Fugitive Pieces (2007), Away from Her (2006) and the popular television series, Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001), on CTV.
Nina loves to travel and has often visited Europe both for pleasure, as well as competing internationally, representing Canada in Aesthetic gymnastics. She enjoys playing volleyball, soccer, swimming, rock climbing, wake boarding, snowboarding, and horse back riding, to name a few.
But, above all, acting is her passion, and she sees it as an adventure that has just begun; she believes that the journey and the characters we create along the way will help us understand ourselves.
Dobrev attended J. B. Tyrrell Sr. Public School, where she started ballet and jazz classes, and competed in rhythmic gymnastics. Then, she attended the arts program at Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts in Scarborough, Ontario, and Ryerson University in Toronto, majoring in sociology. She left in 2008 to pursue her acting career. She took acting classes at Armstrong Acting Studios in Toronto.
In August 2014, she starred alongside Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. in the 20th Century Fox comedy Let's Be Cops. On April 6, 2015, Dobrev announced via Instagram that she would be leaving The Vampire Diaries after season six ended. Dobrev played the role of Vicki Summers in the 2015 horror-comedy film The Final Girls. The film received critical acclaim upon its release.
In September 2015, Dobrev was cast in the film Arrivals, opposite Asa Butterfield and Maisie Williams, portraying the role of flight attendant Izzy. The same year, she was cast in the romantic comedy Crash Pad which began filming in Vancouver in fall 2015.
