Kate Todd is a talented and hardworking Canadian actress who is best known for her lead role as Lily on the award winning hit TV show Radio Free Roscoe. She is also an aspiring singer/songwriter and musician. Kate grew up north of Toronto, where she attended high school graduating with honors and earning the distinction of receiving a designate Ontario Scholar award of which she is most proud.

While attending high school Kate tutored French and gained her compulsory community service hours traveling to local schools addressing students on the issues of bullying. Kate provides a strong and positive voice for teens today, frequently speaking out on a variety of important issues, such as self-esteem, respect and individuality. Recently she was asked to act as spokesperson for Proctor and Gamble and assist in launching their new website beinggirl.ca. She was chosen for her ability to exemplify a strong female role model for young women today. Kate has also been involved with the KidsFest Canada charity, a non-government funded program designed to help fight child poverty.

Kate got her acting start at age fourteen when she landed the coveted lead role of Lily Randall on the popular television series Radio Free Roscoe. Four seasons of ‘RFR’ as it has come to be known were shot and the show was honored to have received the ‘Best Teen Show’ award and the ‘Parent’s Choice’ award at the New York Worlds Festival in 2003 and a Gemini award in 2005 for the production team at Decode Entertainment. The show continues to be aired nationally in Canada and the United States and can also be seen in many countries throughout the world. Her role as Lily has given Kate the opportunity to travel to most parts of Canada, criss crossing the country making personal appearances while on promotional tours where mobs of screaming fans line up hours in advance for their chance to meet her and the rest of the Radio Free Roscoe cast.

She has since appeared in the Lifetime Network American Movie of the Week ‘More Sex and the Single Mom’ and the CBC movie ‘Booky Makes Her Mark’ which recently closed the Sprockets Children’s Film Festival to rave reviews. In this 1930’s period piece, she will appear along side Megan Follows of Anne of Green Gables fame.

2006 was a busy year for Kate. She had the privilege of working with the highly respected and award winning Canadian director Bruce McDonald (Highway 61, Road Kill, Hard Core Logo) on the feature film ‘The Tracy Fragments’. It has a theatrical release date set for 2007. She was also chosen to play the lead role of Lauren Findley opposite Tyler Hoechlin of 7th Heaven fame in the movie ‘Grizzly Rage’, an Off Road Films production shot in Winnipeg and directed by David DeCoteau. Kate also made appearances on the TV shows ‘Naturally, Sadie’, where she performs one of her original songs and ‘Life With Derek’ in which she has a recurring role as Sally.

Kate has appeared in a national television ad campaign featuring Oxy skin products as well as making guest appearances on such shows as: 'Real Access’ with Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson and Hillary Duff, the Vicki Gaberau show, Star TV, Breakfast Television, MTV Canada, Much Music, M3, Sun TV and E-Talk Daily. She has been interviewed by most major newspapers throughout North American and has been featured in many fan magazines as well as by popular internet fanzines. Kate is also a featured columnist for The Magazine where she writes a music column called ‘Sound Check.’

She has also been asked to appear as a guest panelist on the Armstrong Acting Studio’s 'Teen Star Acting Panel'. Here, she will be featured as one of the teen stars helping to educate young actors/actresses wanting to make it in show business.

Kate has studied Improv/Comedy at the Armstrong Acting Studio and has taken private coaching with the acclaimed Canadian actress Kate Trotter (Paradise Falls, Puppets Who Kill, The Jane Show, Romeo and Juliet-TV). She is currently enrolled in studying the Meisner Acting Technique in Toronto under John Riven.

Projecting ahead, Kate has volunteered to act as a team captain for MAC Idea’s P.O.V. (Presenting Our Vision) film camp to take place in the fall of 2007. This is a camp committed to bridging the gap between education and the film industry. It is a workshop that will provide an opportunity for underprivileged youth to be exposed to the process of filmmaking. Here Kate will have the privilege to work along side established actors/actresses such as: Woody Harrelson (to be confirmed), Wedding Crashers' Rachel McAdams, Kids in The Hall's Mark McKinney, Sex and the City’s Jason Lewis, Corner Gas' Tara Spencer Nairn, This is Wonderland's Cara Pifko, Train 48's Krista Sutton and many others.

When not on set, in the recording studio or writing songs on her guitar that she affectionately calls Roscoe, you can find Kate spending time and sharing a laugh with her family and friends and of course playing with her dog, Riley
