Genelle Williams (born February 18, 1984) is a Canadian actress who is best known for her roles as Kim Carlisle in Radio Free Roscoe, as DJ in The Latest Buzz, and as Leena in Warehouse 13.
[edit] Career
Williams had been preparing to become an actress since she was little, and she studied acting with Dean Armstrong, who played one of the principal characters in Showtime's television series Queer as Folk.
Williams became famous in Canada when she joined the cast of Radio Free Roscoe, which was a hit in Canada from 2002 to 2004. In 2003, she played Kim Carlisle, a DJ for "Cougar Radio", and love interest of Robert McGrath.
Late in 2004, Nickelodeon's teenager geared channel, The N, began showing Radio Free Roscoe as well as Degrassi: The Next Generation, and Williams began to gain celebrity status in the United States, at least among the audience that The N targets. On Degrassi, she has played two different characters, in separate episodes and even seasons.
After taking a break in her career, she appears in the Family’s new show The Latest Buzz as Diane Jeffreys. She currently portrays Leena on the Syfy series Warehouse 13.
