Kathy Carpenter
President/Agent
With over 25 years of experience in the industry, Kathy represents a stellar roster of working actors. Her keen eye for talent and tireless devotion to her clients has positioned her as a ‘go-to’ agent in Vancouver. Her commitment, loyalty and enthusiasm continue to bring success to both new and seasoned actors alike. Her father and aunt were actors at the famous Abbey Theatre in Dublin in the 1940s and their stories of performing remain an inspiration to Kathy today. In the early 90s, Kathy trained with award-winning acting coach Mel Tuck and as a working actor experienced firsthand the challenges artists face. Kathy desired to experience all aspects of the industry and became a casting director. Following a two year role casting actors for film and television, Kathy joined one of Vancouver’s fastest growing agencies and started her career as talent agent. In 2010 Kathy launched KC Talent and is pleased to introduce her team of associates.
