Ryan Grantham, a Canadian actor whose credits include “Riverdale,” “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Supernatural,” has been sentenced to life in prison with parole ineligibility of 14 years for the second-degree murder of his mother, CBC reports.

In March 2020, the actor shot his mom, Barbara Waite, in the back of the head with a .22 rifle as she played piano in their home in Squamish, British Columbia. As shown in court, Grantham then took a GoPro video shortly after the murder, in which he confesses to killing his mother and shows her body. The following day, he covered the body with a sheet, surrounded it with lit candles and hung a rosary from the piano, before driving east to Ottawa in a car packed with guns, ammunition and Molotov cocktails. His intention was to kill Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Instead, he drove to Hope, B.C., with thoughts of committing a mass shooting at Simon Fraser University — where he was enrolled — or on the Lions Gate Bridge. Ultimately he decided to turn himself in at the Vancouver Police Department building in East Vancouver.



Grantham’s sister delivered a victim impact statement at the trial, with British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Ker calling the case “tragic” and “heartbreaking.” The judge said it was a “saving grace” that Grantham chose to turn himself in and not commit a mass murder.

Since second-degree murder comes with an automatic life sentence in Canada, the question was how long Grantham would have to wait before applying for parole.

Grantham began acting at age 9, with credits including “iZombie,” “Unspeakable,” “Way of the Wicked,” “Riese” and “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.”

Another spoiled white privileged monster that killed his own mother.

Lock him up and throw away the key.

That is horrific

No father and that damn music. Anybody expect more?

 

[Luke Cage]

Being that he was a child actor, his mother was probably abusive.
No such thing as a good parent who allows(ie forces) their child to work in that fukked up industry.
should have filed for whatever it's called where kids are declared independent from their parents instead of killing her though.

It's in their genes

Hope he know how to fight. Then to again, he's not in America.

I used to work for a company that hired child actors and models. It was obvious that many of them were being used by their parents as a source of income and didn’t want to be in that life.



Am I saying I condone his demonic behavior? No.



But at the same time, I bet there were plenty of red flags early on and people ignored them because he was an actor bringing money in.

Disgusting behavior. Leave his evil ass to rot in there.

Just looking at the picture of his mother, she looks demonic. You can just tell she was using him for a cash bank.

Mother got what she deserved

Her DNA made him
She raised him

parole eligibility after 14 years

I wish they’d stop saying diary of a wimpy kid actor cuz they’re making it sound like the main dude that played Greg Heffley Zachary Gordon did that shyt when it was just some random kid who was in the first movie for like two seconds.

Now whenever that dude’s name is brought up people are like “didn’t he kill his mom?” I’d be so pissed if I was him.

He was going to commit mass murder. He did the best thing possible by turning himself in. But based off what he was doing, we can’t have him amongst society, there is no rehabbing that.
