Carrie Anne Fleming has earned nearly 50 acting credits throughout her career.
After completing her studies at Victoria's Kaleidoscope Theatre and the Kidco Theatre Dance Company, she entered the entertainment industry with a role in the 1994 TV movie Viper, in which she played herself.
She went on to land roles in other films, including 1996’s Happy Gilmore and 1997’s Moment of Truth: Into the Arms of Danger, before steadily appearing in various TV series. From 2005’s Bloodsuckers to the CW’s iZombie through the late 2010s, Carrie found her calling in the horror genre.
Still, she switched gears from time to time, appearing in several TV movies and feature films. In fact, her final project, Into the Unseen, features the storyline of “a young woman, trapped in an emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissistic online influencer, must confront the buried roots of her childhood trauma through a guided psychedelic experience to finally break the cycle of abuse,” per IMDb.
The project was completed in 2025, but there is no information on a release date at this time.

While Carrie was unmarried at the time of her death, she is survived by her daughter, Madalyn Rose.
