HI! I’M KATHERINE...

but my friends call me Kathy. I’m an actor, a writer, a podcaster (I had a very successful podcast before I had kids), and a former musical theater performer back in the day.

I’m 100% Puerto Rican, which my friends know, but strangers never guess. I learned Spanish along the way. It’s not perfect, but decent.  I’m very coordinated. Like, physical things like waterskiing and archery and skeet shooting – things I’ve never really spent much time doing – come fairly easily. And I’m a decent mimic. I could probably imitate you if you gave me a few hours with you. Oh, and I’m kind of competitive at the gym. Like, I’ll peek at your screen to see if you’re running faster than I am.

I began acting professionally in my twenties and thirties. On stage, I performed lots of different roles in sweaty little black box theaters and lovely stages, including a fun run of The A-Train Plays at Playwrights Horizons (which got me my Actors Equity card). I am proud to have performed over 55 (mostly) different costar roles on the New York soaps (which got me my AFTRA card). And I did quite a bit of commercial work back then, too (which got me my SAG card).

I took time off to get married, move to the suburbs and raise three babies, and then came back to the biz when the kids started school. The business had changed so much during those years. (Like, no more printing headshots at Reproductions. Sigh.) Then COVID hit, and that sucked, but I did learn pretty quickly how to self-tape and audition remotely. (Small victories, people.)

Now, I am thrilled to be working again!  Recent co-star roles include Matlock, Law & Order: SVU, and Daredevil: Born Again, a supporting role in the upcoming horror feature The Maneken, and a supporting role in the upcoming Netflix feature Don’t Ever Wonder.
