His Mother
Catherine Disher was born in Britain yet became a Canadian actress. The first movie that she played a role in was ‘The Vindicator’ which was released in 1986. She has worked in many different sectors of the entertainment industry including appearing in video games and cartoons and having roles in radio shows. One of her most distinctive roles was the role she played on the TV show ‘The Good Witch’. She has been enjoying the entertainment industry for more than 40 years. She has been passionate about the industry since she was young and credits the man who taught her theatre, Rodney Marriott, with inspiring her.
When she started working on animations, she was unsure if it was the type of work for her, however, she ended up loving working in the animation field. She worked on a ‘Beetlejuice’ cartoon as well as on the ‘Resident Evil 3’ video game as she discovered she loved working on animations and cartoons.
Catherine Disher is very selective with what she shares with the public due to this not much about her family is known. We know that her mother’s name was Martha and that her father was a psychiatrist. We do not know if she has any siblings, but we do know that she loves her son and that she takes pride in being a mother even if her son doesn’t step into the limelight.

Darcy Montgomery Smith’s Career
Darcy has been very effective at escaping the press and paparazzi that no doubt comes automatically with the social standing of his parents, so there is not much information available on him. We know he has followed in his parents’ footsteps by showing an interest in voice acting. According to his mother, he tried to act on camera but did not enjoy it. Using his voice to portray a character is something he enjoys.
