Kathleen Rose Perkins grew up in New Baltimore, Michigan, a small town
40 miles north of Detroit. The sister of four older brothers, she
enjoyed her alone time making up plays and putting them on for people
in the neighborhood. This inevitably led to a high school career in
which she was very involved with the school's drama and choir program.
Kathleen attended Western Michigan University, and in just over three
years she acquired a BFA in Musical Theatre. After traveling parts of
the Midwest performing in various regional theaters, Kathleen made her
way to Los Angeles. She spent a few years in odd jobs and acting
classes, then started working with a management company she could
trust. Since then, Kathleen has worked solely as an actress in film and
television. She's collaborated with such performers as Chris O'Donnell,
Courteney Cox, Christina Applegate, as well as many other fine actors.
Credits include Coming Home (2003), "How I Met Your Mother", "Suzanne's
Diary for Nicholas", a recurring role on HBO's "Tell Me You Love Me"
and Michael Bay's "The Island". She has also devoted time to projects
personally important to her, such as an award-winning short film she
wrote and starred in, a documentary about her family, and achieving a
black belt in Taekwondo.
