Artist Bio

My name is Kathy Schmidt. I was born in California, raised in Kansas, and I have three sons: Kenneth, Kevin, and Kendall Schmidt. My youngest is Kendall; he's an actor and singer from the band Heffron Drive and Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush. My middle son, Kevin, is a writer, director, producer, and actor. He's starred on films such as the Cheaper by the Dozen Films, Butterfly Effect, and on television in Young and the Restless and Unnatural History. My oldest son is Kenneth, he was an actor, but he decided to pursue a legal career when he turned 18. He recently graduated with his J.D. and LL.M. degrees.

Being the mother to three actor sons, I have been very fortunate to have a unique perspective on the entertainment industry. With little more than ambition and a dream, we embarked to California to join the entertainment industry. Along the way, I met amazing friends, learned valuable lessons about the industry, family, and life, and even persistent disappointment.

I decided to begin "Reel Talk with Kathy Schmidt" as a way to help those of you with the desire to join the entertainment industry. As this series develops, I will have guests on that will be able to provide you with their unique perspective about the entertainment industry. I'm here to humbly provide what insight I can to you all about this industry, life, and maybe even, what it's been like to be the Schmidt's in California.

Much LOVE,
Kathy (MamaSchmidt)
