In Grace Kate tackles the difficult role of Gabby with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). “Featuring incredible performances by its cast, especially the leads Kyle Ingleman and Kate Clarke, Grace is a raw, emotional journey that is both heartfelt and stirring.” -Tim Shively Kate has taken on a variety of roles ranging from vampires to mothers to superheros to doctors. In Grayson Kate kicks ass as Wonder Woman! In USAF she is an Air Force Sergeant in Afghanistan. In the comedy with Michael Jackson and Eric Roberts, Miss Cast Away, she is beauty pageant contestant Miss Iowa. Kate’s other credits include Street Kings, Hancock, Entourage and more.
