Kurt Perez

Kurt Isaiah M. Perez (born December 1, 1997 in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines) is a Filipino former child actor. He was the Ultimate Kiddie Survivor of the popular GMA 7 reality talent show "StarStruck Kids" and is perhaps the most popular of all of its contestants. He became known as the best looking, best behaved and most intelligent contestant of the show. Being multi-talented, he was the show's most awarded kiddie contestant.

Kurt, or Ice as he is known to his close friends and relatives, is the youngest child in his family. He attended his first two complete years of schooling at the College of the Immaculate Conception, a Cabanatuan City-based Catholic school. He was later home-schooled at the Angelicum College in Quezon City.

He started doing commercials at the age of five when he won second place in a talent search called "SM Star Club," after which he was then subsequently discovered by a talent agent. His commercials would then include a popular children's cough medicine, an airline company, a hotdog brand, a popular ketchup brand, and two toothpaste ads of the same brand. He also managed to get the role of Jason in the critically-acclaimed movie "La Visa Loca" and had cameo appearances in the popular "telefantasya" "Mulawin", where he took on the role of the young Aguiluz, and the soap opera "Noel".

Unfortunately, his very promising career was abruptly cut short when he and his family migrated to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in late 2004, just a few months after his StarStruck Kids victory, much to the dismay of his legions of followers.
