Kimleigh Smith

Kimleigh Smith spent the first 10 years of her life in Japan, which still holds a special place in her heart. After Japan it was off to Leavenworth, Kansas, where she spent the remainder of her school years. She attended Emporia State University and received a BS in Psychology. Despite her education, she always wanted to be a dancer, so after graduation she moved to Chicago to pursue her dream. She danced with several prestigious Chicago dance companies including Gus Giordano Dance and Joel Hall Dance. But dancing simply whet her appetite - she wanted more. On a dare, she auditioned for a play. She got the part and has never looked back. Kimleigh has graced the stages of Chicago's most renowned theatres: The Goodman Theatre, Lookingglass Theatre and The Steppenwolf Theatre where she performed in "A Clockwork Orange", "Crumbs from the Table of Joy" and "Puddn'Head Wilson". Upon moving to Los Angeles, she had the pleasure of reprising her role in "Puddn'Head Wilson" at Garry Marshall's Falcon Theatre. This production was honored with an "LA Weekly" Theatre Award. Garry Marshall fell in love with Ms. Smith and cast her in her first major motion picture, "The Princess Diaries." Kimleigh is a member of SAG, AFTRA & AEA. Her television credits include "The Mentalist", "Parenthood", "Key and Peele", Prime Suspect", "Law and Order:LA", "E.R.", "Trust Me", "Lincoln Heights", "Invasion," "Heroes," "Shark", "Women's Murder Club," and "The Whole Truth" to name a few. Kimleigh's career continues to flourish in theatre, commercials, television and film. Kimleigh would like to thank her family, friends, fans, agents, supporters, publicist & marketing team for their constant love and support! Life is nothing without the ones you love to share it with! This is dedicated to all the men and women who have suffered at the hands of others! Here's to all of our greatness...May we embrace our capes and be the superheroes we all are...Love, Love, Love!
