Michelle Borth

Michelle Borth is an American actress whose body of work spans film, television, and commercial advertising, showcasing a versatility that has kept her in steady demand since the early 2000s. Born in Secaucus, New Jersey, and raised in the cultural mosaic of New York City, she discovered a passion for performance after an early aspiration to become a gymnast was redirected by a summer camp experience where acting sparked her imagination. After completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater and Art History at Pace University in 2001, she entered the professional arena in 2002 and has remained active ever since, moving fluidly between genre‑bending indie projects and high‑profile network series. Her early credits include roles in Wonderland, The Sisterhood, and Rampage: The Hillside Strangler Murders, as well as guest appearances on iconic procedural dramas such as Law & Order: SVU and Supernatural, establishing her as a reliable character actor capable of handling both dramatic and suspenseful material. Borth’s breakthrough came when she was cast as Lt. Catherine Rollins, the on‑and‑off love interest of Steve McGarrett on the 2010 reboot of Hawaii Five‑0, a role that evolved from a recurring love interest to a series regular for seasons three and four, and later to memorable guest appearances that punctuated key milestones in the show’s long run. Beyond television, she has appeared in advertising campaigns, notably Burger King’s “Lunch Break,” and made a cameo in John Mayer’s music video for “Bigger Than My Body,” illustrating her willingness to explore varied media platforms. In recent years she returned to the big screen in the 2019 superhero film Shazam!, portraying the adult version of Mary Bromfield, thereby extending her reach into the modern fantasy‑action arena and confirming her continued relevance in contemporary pop culture.
