Drake isn't the only famous Canadian who starred in "Degrassi." Before she got her big break, Nina Dobrev also played the role of teen mom Mia Jones in "Degrassi: The Next Generation." Her character arc ended when Mia relocated to Paris, but fans would later find the actor on "The Vampire Diaries" a year after she left the teen series.
Dobrev also found herself starring in several small-scale films, including a film adaptation of "Fugitive Pieces," Sarah Polley's "Away from Her," and MTV's "The American Mall," per IMDb. The latter was apparently Dobrev's first project in the U.S., which she was so thrilled about at the time. "It's my first American thing, it was the lead, there was a lot of pressure but good pressure," she said in an interview with CP24 when she was 19 years old. It was something I was very excited about. I couldn't sleep because I was so excited to start my first day at work."
She even got to star in several music videos, including Wade Allain-Marcus and David Baum's "You Got That Light." Young Nina Dobrev sure kept herself busy!
