Best known for his character work as a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1996- ), Chris Kattan got his start with the famed Los Angeles acting troupe The Groundlings, the same place where his father Kip King had previously honed his talents. Short and dark-haired with remarkable energy, Kattan proved his talent for both physical and dialogue-driven comedy there, and went on to great success on the long-running sketch series. Born in California to King and Hungarian model Hajni Biro, Kattan was raised by his mother and psychoanalyst stepfather in a Zen community outside of Los Angeles. The family relocated to Brisbane Island, Washington for Kattan's school years, and his misfit status resulted in the teen developing his comic skills to stay afloat in high school.
A long-time favorite of discriminating theatergoers, Calista Flockhart acted in several Off-Broadway plays (e.g., "All for One", "Sophistry", "Wrong Turn at Lungfish") before triumphing on Broadway in the role of Laura, opposite Julie Harris, in a 1994 revival of "The Glass Menagerie".
