TODD TALBOT ANSWERS SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS
CAREER AND GIVES US A PEEK INSIDE HIS PERSONAL LIFE.
CHT HOW DO YOU FIND BALANCE
CANADIAN HOME TRENDS HOW DID
YOU GET YOUR BIG BREAK?
TODD TALBOT I was cast in a teen series
called Fifteen on Nickelodeon in the U.S.
That show ran for five seasons and was filmed
at Universal Studios Florida.
CHT WHAT WAS YOUR MOST
MEMORABLE SHOW ON LOVE IT OR
LIST IT?
TT I don’t know if it’s mine or the audiences
but in season 1 (over 6 years ago) I showed
a couple a new build that was still under
construction overlooking the water. We shot
it just as the sun was setting. The budget
was big and the woman cried so it made
for exciting television. Other than that, I
probably get my biggest joy out of making
people laugh on the show.
INSIDE YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE OF
SHOOTING A SHOW, REAL ESTATE AND
FAMILY?
TT It takes a conscious effort to find balance.
I like to work hard and I work best when
I’ve got a lot going on but it’s easy to let
work take over. I find if I make my family and
home a priority, it balances naturally with the
amount of work that I agree to take on.
CHT WHAT’S YOUR ADVICE TO
ASPIRING REALTORS OR ACTORS?
TT Stick with your passion and have fun.
This formula for success is pretty universal
and applies to most career paths. The other
ingredient that I think is underrated and
misunderstood is the idea that you are
responsible for everything that happens.
Whether or not that is actually true is up for
debate but one thing is certain; it gives you
the power to control your destiny.
CHT TELL US ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL
STYLE.
TT Style is a big concept. In terms of clothes,
I have a bit of nostalgia for an era gone by. I
like classic, timeless looks for the basics but
I like to throw in something fun, showcasing
a pop of personality with every outfit. My
socks have taken on a life of their own.
In terms of design, I tend to embrace a West
Coast contemporary style that captures the
home's surroundings as well as clean open
spaces.

CHT WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ROOM
IN YOUR HOME?
TT We just renovated a small home in East
Vancouver and I think my favorite space is
the living room. It's a cozy space with a wall
of built-ins, a piano, and an intimate seating
area with the coolest couch and vintage
chairs.
Todd has many talents
including being a
trained dancer in
classical dance.
On a flight, Todd
proposed to his wife
Rebecca over the
plane's intercom.
