Nicky Katt has been acting since the age of 7, when he appeared on the TV series
"CHiPs" (1977) in 1977. He continued to work steadily through the 1980s on shows
like "Quincy M.E." (1976), "Father Murphy" (1981), and "V" (1984) but did not fall
into the trap of many child actors who became identified with one famous role
because his child roles were as guest spots or, as in the case of "Herbie, the Love
Bug" (1982), were canceled early on, or can't get work as adults and allow their
lives ... ... (read more...) to fall to pieces.
In a way, Katt has had two careers. The one as the child actor of the late 1970s
and early 1980s, and as the character actor of the 1990s who so often played the
bully or thug. Extremely talented and at ease in front of a camera in the medium
of either television or feature film, Katt has had a very impressive body of work
for someone of his age and looks to gain much in the way of future stardom as the
series "Boston Public" (2000) clearly exhibits his leading-man potential.
