Kate Rudd was born June 30, 1980, in coastal Western Michigan. As a child she loved entertaining friends and family with characters and impersonations. She performed with her high school drama group and loved acting, but after graduation planned to pursue a career in music.

After the birth of her second daughter in 2003, Kate decided on impulse to travel with her five week old infant to an island for her first film audition. She was fascinated by the experience, and became thoroughly bitten by the acting bug. Soon she was cast in a local play, and felt certain that she had found her vocation.

Immediately she began balancing auditions and study with raising young children. Film roles in "The Dread," "Zorg and Andy," and "Stick in the Mud" followed.

Most recently, Kate represents LA-based motion picture company Safe Harbor Productions in Michigan. While she is thrilled to gain new experience as a producer, acting continues to be her pursuit and passion.
