KATE SARGEANT 

Kate started her career in the entertainment industry at the age of eleven as “Emily” in the cult classic film 3 Ninjas, directed by Jon Turteltaub. After appearing in numerous films, television shows, and commercials, she went on to attend U.C. Berkeley, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in English and Dramatic Arts. While in London earning her master’s degree in Text and Performance Studies from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Kate wrote, directed, and produced her original play Revolving Door. After its successful three-week run in London, Kate took her production on tour to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it received rave reviews. Since returning to the states, she has been staffed on multiple shows including CASTLE, CSI CYBER, NCIS NOLA, BLINDSPOT, and OBLITERATED. Most recently she wrote a freelance episode of THE ROOKIE FEDS for ABC.

She has also written, directed, and produced a few of her passion projects including three short films: CHANGING LANES, FACING LIFE, and ANOTHER FOREIGN CONCEPT. In addition, Kate launched an original comedic series that she wrote, directed, and produced called YOU CAN’T DO THAT ON THE INTERNET about our obsession with social media in the digital age. In 2020, Kate created and produced a half-hour comedy series, VIRTUALLY SINGLE, about a newly divorced single mom dipping her toe in the treacherous online dating pool for the first time in a decade.
