The Canadian Screen Award for Best Actor in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role is an annual
Canadian television award, presented by the
Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television to the best leading performance by an actor in a Canadian television series. Previously presented as part of the
Gemini Awards, since 2013 it has been presented as part of the
Canadian Screen Awards.
Prior to the creation of the Gemini Awards in 1986, the predecessor
ACTRA Awards presented only a single award for Best Performance in a Continuing Role, differentiating neither by gender nor for the distinction between comedy and drama.[1]
