Kate Hodge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kate Hodge (born January 2, 1966, in Berkeley, California) is an American actress.
Her first starring role was as Michelle, the heroine of the 1990 horror movie Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III. The gore and content of the film was heavily edited and excised in order to obtain an R rating from the MPAA, which threatened to give it an X rating. The unedited version is now available on DVD. According to TV.com, Hodge herself is not a horror film fan, unless it is comedic in tone.
She then portrayed tormented college student Randi Wallace in the syndicated horror series She-Wolf of London (1990-1991), which was later retitled Love and Curses. At the end of one early episode, when Randi and Professor Matheson (Neil Dickson) are pulling away in a car, she asks him if they can stop to rent Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, an in-joke and reference to Hodge's first movie role.
From 2000-2001, she played FBI Agent Annie Price on Level 9. Repeats of the series now air on The Sci-Fi Channel.
Ms. Hodge has also been in the films Rapid Fire (1992) as Karla Withers, The Hidden II (1994) as Juliet Beck, Desire (1993) as Lauren Allen, 3 Women of Pain (1997) as Mary Ann, and the independent movie I Will Avenge You, Iago! (2005) as Eve. Her made-for-television movies include Love Kills (1991), Pandora's Clock (1996), 111 Gramercy Park (2003), and Enough About Me (2005).
She has made appearances in several television series, including thirtysomething (1989), Tales from the Crypt (1990), Ellen (1994-1995), Cupid (1998), Summerland (2004), Mann & Machine (1992), Silk Stalkings (1993-1994), Renegade (1994), Nowhere Man (1995), Xena: Warrior Princess (1995), The Lazarus Man (1996), Murder, She Wrote (1996), The Pretender (1997), The Sentinel (1997), Players (1997), JAG (1997), The Tom Show (1998), The Love Boat: The Next Wave (1998), Brother's Keeper (1998-1999), Movie Stars (1999), Snoops (1999), Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (2003), NCIS (2004), Jonny Zero (2005), and Boston Legal (2007).
She was a series regular for 10 episodes of the Fred Savage show Working (1998). Her character, Chris Grant, was originally introduced as a woman pretending to be a man in order to gain respect in the business world.
She was a lead cast member in the short-lived series The George Wendt Show (1995) as Libby Schuster, The Louie Show (1996) as Gretchen Lafayette, and Manhattan, AZ (2000) as Jane Pentowski.
She has also produced two films, The Perfect Stranger (2005) and Black Velvet Pantsuit (1995).
