Acting
Biography
Katie Rotolo hails from sunny south Florida, where she began performing at the age of 3. At 18, she started her professional career acting in short films and commercials in Miami. Working as a stand-in on Burn Notice led to PA-ing, and later to working as a Producer and Assistant Director. She relocated to Los Angeles in late 2009 and later returned to Miami to produce her first feature film in 2012. Now with over 14 years of experience working in the entertainment industry, she has produced and acted for new media, commercials, music videos, shorts and feature films. She has worked with companies such as Disney, 20th Century Fox, Maker Studios, Refinery29 and Fullscreen, and runs her own boutique production company, Paper Ball Pictures. She currently resides in Los Angeles, and is available for travel. On set and for camera, she loves to make people laugh. Growing up, Robin Williams was a frequent guest in her house; in her adult life, she's found friends in Pete Holmes and Maria Bamford (the latter she has had the pleasure of working with behind-the-scenes on Lady Dynamite). She is also very focused on providing a voice to under-represented topics and starting conversations to make social and ethical changes in everyday life. Holistic values, an eco-friendly state of mind, and tacos are just a few of the things Katie likes to bring to set.
