Kandyse Mc Clure was born and raised in Durban, South Africa. Since being “discovered” by William B Davis in a tiny Vancouver theatre 8 years ago, performing Athol Fugards' Valley Song, Kandyse has had the honor and privilege of working alongside truly generous actors and on challenging and rewarding projects. Kandyse became a popular young star through the teen-oriented Fox Family series Higher Ground, as well as the NBC's Saturday-morning series Just Deal. She scored a lead role with her first ever audition, playing opposite Lou Diamond Phillips in the 1999 telefilm In a Class of His Own.

Drawn to stories that touch her heart and stir her passions her favorite memories were on the sets of NBC’s Carrie (as Sue Snell), Dark Angel ( as the blind woman Annie Fisher) and alongside Malcolm Jamal Warner on Jeremiah ( as his love interest Elizabeth). But none have moved her more than her experience on the set of Battlestar Galactica where Kandyse starred as Anastasia "Dee" Dualla, a Petty Officer Second Class in the Colonial Fleet

Kandyse recently narrated part of an audiobook Metatropolis, “The Red in the Sky is Our Blood”, (The Dawn of Uncivilization) of Hugo awarded Elizabeth Bear.

Currently Kandyse is filming in Mexico and will be seen this fall in Oscar winner Christopher McQuarrie’s latest TV series called ‘Persons Unknown’ for Fox TV, which has partnered with Mexican media giant Televisa to make 13 episodes. "Persons" is a mystery drama about seven strangers who wake up in a deserted town with no recollection of how they got there, only to realize that they are watched by omnipresent security cameras and that there is no escape. To survive, they must come together to solve the puzzle of their lives.

When not on set, Kandyse spends her time doing yoga, singing and practicing the guitar. And when she has the time, she travels back to South Africa, sits on her grandmothers’ porch and says a little prayer of gratitude for a blessed and life.
