Born: April 8, 1980

Oregon native Katee Sackhoff made her first onscreen appearance with a small role in the 1998 Lifetime original movie Fifteen and Pregnant when she was 18. She continued to build up her resumé with minor appearances like a role in the USA film Hefner:_Unauthorized and a number of appearances on MTV's Undressed, but it was a supporting role on the TV series The Education of Max Bickford that proved to be her big break. Playing daughter to veteran actor Richard_Dreyfuss' character provided both valuable tutelage and incredible exposure for the young actress, setting her up for her next project.

Accepting the role of Lt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in the 2003 miniseries Battlestar_Galactica became one of the best moves of Sackhoff's career. The miniseries was so successful, it was sold as a standard TV show and began airing in 2004, with Sackhoff in the same leading role. With a regular paycheck and a base of devoted fans, she explored other projects when her show wasn't filming, taking on the role of Sherry Clarke in the 2007 sequel to White_Noise, White_Noise_2:_The_Light, alongside fellow sci-fi TV vet Nathan_Fillion.
