Kat Conner Sterling, a Memphis, TN native, has quickly become a standout talent in film and television. She is best known for her fan-favorite portrayal of Max in Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy's, the studio's #1 top-grossing blockbuster of all time.

Kat discovered her passion for performing at the age of 10, starting in local theater before transitioning to film and television in 2019. She has appeared in notable series such as Marvel's The Gifted, Fox's 9-1-1, and The Resident. Her breakout moment came with Netflix's A Week Away, where she landed the role of Presley through a self-taped audition for a national open call. Producers were so impressed with her performance that she booked the role directly, without a callback.

Her streak of straight-to-booking success continued with her performance in Popular Theory, starring alongside Cheryl Hines and Marc Evan Jackson. Critics praised her comedic timing and natural charm, cementing her reputation as a versatile talent. Blumhouse shared this confidence in her abilities, booking her for Five Nights at Freddy's directly from her audition tape.

Beyond the screen, Kat is an engaging presence on social media, where she enjoys connecting with her growing audience. Her authentic and entertaining posts have attracted a dedicated following, showcasing her versatility both as an actor and a content creator.
