KATHLEEN WILHOITE

Kathleen Wilhoite grew up in Santa Barbara, California. She began singing in her church choir in first grade. Two years later, while singing on stage with The Carpenters at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, she stopped the show so that she could pull up her knee socks and got a huge laugh from the sold out crowd. Kathleen claims "it was then I knew I had to be a performer." Kathleen eventually became the youngest member of the Santa Barbara Songwriters Guild. After high school, Kathleen enrolled in the USC Drama School, and two months later had landed her first movie role.

Kathleen won the Q Award for her portrayal of Chloe Lewis, the drug addict, on the hit television show "E.R." She has also appeared in the hit shows "Mad About You," "Twin Peaks," "Ally McBeal," "24," "Law & Order," and "Will & Grace."

Kathleen has appeared in wonderful films like "Lorenzo's Oil" with Susan Sarandon and Nick Nolte; "Drowning Mona" with Danny DeVito and Bette Midler; "Nurse Betty" with Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, Greg Kinnear and Renée Zellweger; "Color of Night" with Bruce Willis; and "Pay it Forward" with Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt.

In Steve Balderson's Firecracker, Kathleen plays the nosey neighbor Jessica.
