Devon Ferguson

COMEDY | DIALOGUE

Devon Ferguson was born in Toronto, Canada, but then moved and grew up in Ottawa, which means he can also speak French. Pretty fancy, right?

He's a graduate of the Humber College Acting for Film/Television Program in Toronto and has trained at Second City, UCB School of Improv, and The Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles.

After realizing he wasn’t going to get cast in ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ while living in Vancouver, Devon saved his moolah from working at fancy restaurants and purchased his own camera gear, turning his creative talents towards writing and directing.

Over the next couple of years, Devon went on to win multiple commercial contests, injecting his unique style of humor into every spot and receiving recognition for his work with brands such as Lays, Doritos, Kraft, and Shell, just to name a few. He was even invited to the Super Bowl after he wrote, directed, and starred in ‘Selfish Sneezers’, a Doritos spec spot that landed him a 1 in 10 shot at winning one million dollars and a chance for his commercial to air during the big game.

In 2021, his Monster.com spot ‘Stare’ won him multiple Silver Screens at the Cannes Young Directors Awards for ‘Best Use of Humor’, as well as earning him a nomination for the SHOTS ‘Best New Director’ 2022 in North America. In 2023, Devon's comedy short film "Christmas Threesome," which he wrote, directed, and acted in, was recognized by the Shark Awards and is currently longlisted for the One Point Four Awards.
