Kate Hodge: Movies & Box Office

Kate Hodge is an American actress and film producer whose career has spanned more than three decades, beginning in the mid‑1980s and continuing to the present day. She first attracted attention with a starring turn as Michelle in the 1990 horror sequel Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, a role that cemented her reputation for delivering strong, resilient heroines in genre cinema. Shortly thereafter she was cast as Randi Wallace, a tormented college student, in the syndicated horror series She‑Wolf of London (1990‑1991), a show that later changed its title to Love and Curses and even featured a self‑referential joke about her earlier film appearance. Throughout the 1990s Hodge built a versatile résumé, appearing opposite Brandon Lee as Detective Karla Withers in the martial‑arts action picture Rapid Fire (1992) and delivering memorable performances in Desire (1993) and the sci‑fi sequel The Hidden II (1994). Her television work includes guest spots on iconic series such as thirtysomething (1989), Tales from the Crypt (1990), and a recurring role on Ellen (1994‑1995), demonstrating her ability to shift seamlessly between drama, comedy, and horror. From 2000 to 2001 she portrayed FBI Agent Annie Price on the short‑lived series Level 9, while also appearing in the ensemble comedy The George Wendt Show (1995) and the quirky sitcom The Louie Show (1996). In the new millennium Hodge expanded her creative scope behind the camera, serving as co‑executive producer on Black Velvet Pantsuit (1995) and producing The Perfect Stranger (2005), thereby establishing herself as a multifaceted industry professional. More recent credits include a guest turn as Harris Dickinson’s mother in the critically acclaimed indie film Beach Rats and a pioneering appearance in the LGBTQ‑focused web series Spring Street (2017). Hodge’s enduring presence, marked by a blend of on‑screen charisma and off‑screen entrepreneurial spirit, makes her a distinctive figure in contemporary American entertainment.
