I shared this video with my patrons in our secret Instagram account a few months ago & thought you might like a peek too!

Ever wondered what goes into an actor’s script prep? Here’s a look behind the scenes as I break down each layer! 💭✨

Not every role is sweet. Some are sharp, some are shadowed—and some feel like slipping into your own skin.

Starting this quarter, I’ll be rolling out a new Patron-exclusive feature — a behind-the-scenes peek into my audition process. First one goes up in May! Read more: https://www.katehackett.com/2025/04/24/coming-soon-take-comparisons/

Sex scenes are famously UNsexy—tons of crew, cramped spaces, total chaos. Scroll all the way for a wild BTS bath shot!
Got questions about filming spicy scenes? Ask away!

Patrons! You have a new vlog on the site for April: https://www.katehackett.com/2025/04/15/candid-career-vlog-19/

I really enjoy doing these for you my team. If you're not a patron, I'd love to invite you! If you can't support financially right now, your SHARES & LIKES mean the world: thank you!

Hopped on the horses before it got ragingly hot this week -- WHY, LOS ANGELES, WHY??!? Please pray for cooler weather for your redheaded pal.

Last week, I asked my Patrons where I should put my new award and one (shout out Dave!) generously provided me not with just a suggestion but an a+ tier digital image markup of where I should keep it.

Any other suggestions that'll top "enormous necklace strung with black cord"?

🎥 Behind the Scenes: "Happy Little Accidents" 🎬
Sometimes set mishaps lead to the best moments—creative magic, unexpected solutions, and so much fun to look back on! A patron asked me to share some stories, and I couldn’t wait to dive in. ✨

I found snow! ❄️ 

My best friend bought me* a cabin up in the mountains and invited me up to catch some flakes, so Niamh and I boogied out of rainy Los Angeles and got to play in the snow for a few days. 

*herself. and her husband.

One of my goals this year is to spend more time in nature (says the girl whose hobbies include horseback riding, camping, backpacking, and hiking...) so I'm exploring more of our local parks.

I think Niamh's a fan.

Well I guess I can toss that fake Oscar statue from my high school production of Anything Goes.

Today's Q&A question is all about collaborations - we're talking about how I pick my collaborators and what role working with other people plays in the industry (obviously... a big one!) 🎬

Hey. Have you climbed a mountain yet this year? Tried to take a selfie with your dog only to have her not once look at the camera? No? There's time.

Writing dialogue is tricky! As an actor, I’ve seen plenty of lines that made me go, “wut?”—but I’m actually pretty good at it. My secret? I talk to myself as I write, acting out scenes (privately, trust me). I also tweak earlier scenes while writing new ones to refine voice + plot!

Welcome, welcome, and enjoy a quick peek at a different sort of vlog. We're talking about 🗓️ my schedule, my day as an actor in LA. This post is open to any of my Guest Star+ patrons -- and you, if you join us!

Between auditions, writing, and general life chaos, my best assistants are... well, these guys. 🐶🐱 They may not answer emails, but they’re great at reminding me to take breaks (or give belly rubs).

PS: if you can use a kitten in your self tape... use a kitten in your self tape.
