Katie Stuart
Birthplace – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Katie Stuart is a multi-talented actress and stunt performer from Vancouver, British Columbia.
Katie began her work in the entertainment industry at a young age taking beginner acting classes with the Vancouver Youth Theatre which lead to her recruitment to the industry. Katie began her exploration in the stunt community when she met a young stunt performer on the set of Showtime’s “Dead Like Me” who took her under his wing and introduced her to the Vancouver stunt community, effectively launching her secondary career as an action hero.
Katie began training gymnastics, martial arts, driving, and air rams. She also completed a five-month intensive program in Wilderness Leadership which included practical, crash courses in ocean and whitewater kayaking, rafting, canoeing, and sailing. In 2009, Katie returned to her roots in theater. She moved to Montreal to attend Concordia University and graduated with a bachelor of Fine Arts, specializing in Theater and Development. This included a two-month semester abroad, studying Jing Ju (Chinese Opera) in Beijing. Katie chose to focus on physicality and movement for her electives and completed courses in Comedia del Arte, Biomechanics, Corporeal Mime, and Stage Combat. In her last year at university, Katie had the pleasure of combining her love of physicality, stunt work, and theater, by choreographing the on-stage action for a brilliant piece of musical theater, entitled Hazards of Love: A Folk Opera, set to the Decemberists’ album of the same name.
Katie has amassed numerous credits including the films THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN, MASTERMINDS, X2: X-MEN UNITED, THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, SHE’S THE MAN, INTENSITY, and SUMMER OF THE MONKEYS. On the small screen, Katie co-starred as a series lead in SYFY’s “The Crow: Stairway to Heaven”, and starred as the lead in the six-episode web series “Inconceivable”, where she received the award for ‘Best Actress in a Drama at Hollyweb Fest. She also recurred in The CW’s “The 100”, A&E’s “The Returned”, SYFY’S “Stargate: SG1”, and Showtime’s “The L Word”, and “Dead Like Me”, and guest starred in CBS’ “Zoo”, CTV’s “Motive”, SYFY’s “Poltergeist: The Legacy”, and “The Outer Limits”, ABC’s epic mini-series “When We Rise” and the sci-fi epic series on Netflix, “Altered Carbon”.
