My name is Kathie Richardson. I’m an actress and model, here seeking connection, art, and truth in a world of make believe.
After graduating from a full-time two year drama course in Kinsale, Cork, I worked both on and back stage, and in front of and behind the camera.
After a break in my career due to the wonders of parenthood I returned to the world of acting and in doing so also stumbled upon modelling. My work since then includes starring in short films, feature films and TV broadcasts with my proudest stage achievement being a sold-out one woman show in 2023.
Behind the scenes I have experience as an Assistant Stage Manager, Production Coordinator, 3rd AD & script translator. Along with stage combat skills, horse riding, and being a professional elf in Lapland I have shaped a fulfilling career with very few dull moments.
An advocate for realness and body positivity, the beauty of storytelling, and helping people connect as well as find an escape in make believe, here I am, creating the best version of myself that I can, and hopefully inspiring others to embrace their own.
