Stana Katic

Born on April 26, 1978 (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada).

Stana Katic has that rare mix of sharp intellect and disarming charm — the kind of screen presence that can make a crime scene feel like a chessboard. For eight seasons on Castle (2009–2016), she was Detective Kate Beckett: whip-smart, fiercely independent, and impossible not to root for. In Absentia (2017–2020), she shed the procedural polish for something darker and more visceral, playing an FBI agent forced to confront trauma, betrayal, and the shadows of her own past. Whether she’s unraveling mysteries or creating them, Katic brings a precision and emotional depth that make her characters linger in your mind long after the case is closed.

Married. Mother of two children.
