From Poltergeist: The Legacy to The Killing and Motive, Canadian actress Kristin Lehman has been a staple on North American television. Now, she's starring in the much anticipated Netflix series Altered Carbon. The sci-fi murder mystery takes place in a 25th century world where people have implants in the back of their necks that enable them to change into different people, upgrade bodies and essentially become immortal — if they can afford it. Altered Carbon is drawing comparisons to other sci-fi spectacles such as Blade RunnerThe Matrix and Black Mirror

Today, Lehman joins host Tom Power live in studio to talk about her role on Altered Carbon, the defining moments of her career and why she is such an advocate for Canadian culture.
