[1] When asked about his varied genre musical background and the influence those bands had on his trajectory towards creating Actors, Corbett told online blog Alienated in Vancouver in 2021: "I had exhausted myself chasing what I thought would be “success."

"[4] Shortly after forming Actors, Corbett initially recruited drummer Adam Fink for studio session work while the two played in TV Heart Attack together.

Shortly thereafter on July 20, 2014, Corbett officially started his own recording studio, Jacknife Sound, taking its name from the recent Actors track.

[11] While Actors continued for almost a year as a quintet with both keyboard players, Corbett soon parted ways with Fox feeling that Hemmett's energy better suited the band.

[12] In early 2017, Actors self-released the Reanimated EP, a collection of their previously released singles that were remastered and made available on a physical medium (12" vinyl record) for the first time.

Later in 2017, Actors played Terminus Festival in Calgary which led to a chance encounter with representatives from Toronto-based label Artoffact Records.

[17] The band then embarked on their first tour covering the West Coast of the United States in March and April, culminating in a live taping session for KXLU 88.9FM's Part Time Punks radio show.

[20][21] Actors also made appearances on Seattle's KEXP Morning Show with John Richards and JBTV in Chicago during this part of the tour.

[15][26][27] With his production duties cleared, Corbett then focused on finishing the second album for Actors, which was initially slated for a late 2020 release.

[29] It was also around this time that Actors announced on their Facebook page Jahmeel Russell's departure from the band and introduced his replacement, Kendall Wooding.

Wooding was originally recruited to join Shannon Hemmett's Leathers side project on guitars and backing vocals, but Corbett felt she would also be a welcome addition to the Actors lineup on bass.

[33][34] Instead, the band toured North America in support of Acts of Worship from March through May 2022, ending with an appearance at Vancouver's Verboden Festival.

[35] Just prior to starting their Spring 2022 tour, the lineup for the 10-year anniversary of Cold Waves Festival was announced with Actors scheduled to appear at all three dates again, making up their 2021 missed performance.

[39] Shortly after this announcement, Jason Corbett became ill during the European part of the Actors 2022 tour, leading to show cancellations in Germany.

After attempting to push through shows in France, the band made the decision to cancel the remaining tour dates via a Facebook post so Corbett could focus on recovering from the illness.
