Christa Miller Kate on The Drew Carey Show
Christa Miller was introduced to the entertainment world at a very young age. As a toddler, Miller was photographed by the acclaimed Francesco Scavullo for an Ivory Snow ad with her mother, and at the age of three appeared on the cover of Redbook.Miller was bitten by the acting bug as a child, but couldn't pursue her passion because her parents had other plans for her. Her father hoped she'd have a law career, while her mother, a '60s supermodel, knew all too well how tough a career in entertainment could be. Despite her parents' concern and her rigorous studies at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, she pursued a modeling career. She appeared in national magazines while working steadily in Europe and Japan. She landed her first commercial (for Polaroid) at age 16. Her first primetime television role was on "Kate & Allie," a part she auditioned for and landed without the help of her aunt, series co-star Susan Saint James. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 1990, Miller won a role on "Northern Exposure." Other television credits include roles on "Seinfeld," "Party of Five" and "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." Miller's film credits include "Deceived" and "Love and Happiness." She also starred with Kellie Martin in the acclaimed made-for-television movie, "A Friend to Kill For." Her formal training includes the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, The Groundlings, and the Neighborhood Playhouse in her native New York City. She currently studies with Ken Lerner in Los Angeles. The athletic Miller is an avid New York Giants fan, but would rather play most sports than watch them. She lettered in four sports in high school and is currently passionate about paddle tennis.
