Debbie Rochon grew up in British Columbia, Canada. Debbie was a child of the streets and victim of much abuse until she accidentally ended up in a featured extra role in Paramount's "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains" in 1982.

The event changed her life, and girl saved enough money to move to New York City and study acting at age 17. After many years working with numerous theater companies in off-Broadway plays, she started to land small roles in films. Spike Lee's editor Barry Alexander Brown cast her in a featured role in his first directing effort, Lonely in America (1990). Soon the parts grew bigger and bigger and primarily fell in the fear flick genre.

Since then Rochon has starred in dozens of horror movies and has gained cult stardom worldwide. Since 1994, Debbie has acted in various roles in Lloyd Kaufman's Troma Productions, most notably "Romeo and Juliet" (1996) and "Terror Firmer" (1999), as well as many other low-budget independent made-for-video horror flicks in lead, supporting, minor and bit parts. Although actress is mostly associated with creepy features and thrillers because of her evenly-shaped, dark-haired appearance on and off camera, she has garnered acclaim for her turns in comedy and drama. Debbie has also co-hosted a number of radio shows in New York City that focused on film and pop culture.
