## Early life and start in acting
Booth grew up in Oakville, a lakeside suburb of Toronto, and began writing and performing plays at age six, charging neighbors to see productions staged with homemade playbills[3](https://www.tribute.ca/people/biography/lindy-booth/8214/) • [5](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/lindy-booth/). In high school she continued writing and acting, winning the 1994–95 Junior Drama and 1997–98 Senior Drama Awards at T.A. Blakelock [High School](https://www.edgepedia.org/high-school), from which she graduated in 1998[3](https://www.tribute.ca/people/biography/lindy-booth/8214/) • [8](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0095751/bio/).
Her high school drama teacher helped her secure an agent after graduation, and at her third audition she won the role of Carrie Taylor in *Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension*, a series filmed in Toronto[3](https://www.tribute.ca/people/biography/lindy-booth/8214/). Small roles followed in the low-budget science-fiction film *Teenage Space Vampires* and the TV movie *Mr. Music*, both 1998[3](https://www.tribute.ca/people/biography/lindy-booth/8214/).
## Television career
**Two Toronto series at once.** From 1999 to 2001 Booth held regular roles on two series shooting in Toronto. On *Relic Hunter*, starring [Tia Carrere](https://www.edgepedia.org/tia-carrere), she played Claudia, the ditzy office manager of Professor Sydney Fox; originally conceived as a small recurring part, the role was expanded once filming began, and within a few episodes Claudia was traveling with the relic hunters[3](https://www.tribute.ca/people/biography/lindy-booth/8214/) • [9](https://www.littlereview.com/getcritical/interviews/booth.htm). She appeared in 44 episodes across the show's run[2](https://www.tvmaze.com/people/4613/lindy-booth). Simultaneously, on the [Disney Channel](https://www.edgepedia.org/disney-channel)'s *The Famous Jett Jackson*, she played Riley Grant, an actress who portrayed the superhero "Agent Hawk" on a show-within-a-show[4](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0095751/).
Through the 2000s she worked steadily in genre and network television: a recurring role as Holly Culverson on *Odyssey 5* (2002), Pizza Girl on *October Road* (2007–2008), A.J. Butterfield on NBC's *The Philanthropist* (2009), and guest appearances on *Cold Case*, *NCIS*, *Warehouse 13*, *Supernatural*, *Ghost Whisperer*, *CSI: NY*, *The 4400*, *Grey's Anatomy*, *[Stumptown](https://www.edgepedia.org/stumptown-tv-series)*, *The Flash*, *Star Trek: Strange New Worlds*, and *Gotham Knights*[2](https://www.tvmaze.com/people/4613/lindy-booth) • [10](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/lindy-booth/credits/3030259531/).
**The Librarians.** Booth's best-known role came as Cassandra Cillian on *The Librarians* (TNT, 2014–2018), a series based on *The Librarian* TV movie trilogy starring [Noah Wyle](https://www.edgepedia.org/noah-wyle)[4](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0095751/) • [11](https://www.whattowatch.com/watching-guides/the-librarians-the-next-chapter-release-date-trailer-cast-plot-and-everything-we-know-about-the-tv-spinoff). Cassandra is a brilliant mathematician with a photographic memory and synesthesia, a condition in which the senses are cross-wired, so that she sees numbers as colors, smells breakfast foods when doing math, and hears musical notes when doing science; in the show, her synesthesia is compounded by a brain tumor[12](https://thepcprinciple.com/interview-lindy-booth/). Booth researched the condition and spoke with a person who had it, and described the character's arc as a woman who had lived with her abilities as a curse learning to treat them as a gift[12](https://thepcprinciple.com/interview-lindy-booth/). She performed her own stunt and fight scenes, declining a stunt double because she wanted [Cassandra](https://www.edgepedia.org/cassandra) to fight like someone who did not know how to fight[12](https://thepcprinciple.com/interview-lindy-booth/). She also directed the season 4 episode "And Some Dude Named Jeff" (2018), her first directing credit[2](https://www.tvmaze.com/people/4613/lindy-booth).
In 2025 TNT launched the spinoff *The Librarians: The Next Chapter*, and Booth was announced among the season 2 guest stars reprising Cassandra Cillian, alongside original co-star [Christian Kane](https://www.edgepedia.org/christian-kane)[7](https://www.tvline.com/news/the-librarians-next-chapter-season-2-lindy-booth-cassandra-1235480420/).

She won the 2002 DVD Premiere Award for Best Supporting Actress for *The Skulls II* and was nominated for a 2003 Canadian Comedy Award for her role as Lea in *Rub & Tug*[6](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/lindy-booth/bio/3030259531/).
