Kali Hawk

Kali Hawk is an actress and model who started out as a child prodigy, entering high school at 12 and earning a place at the New York arts university SUNY Purchase before she turned 16. A campus play brought an introduction to a friend's agent, and she began booking commercials and stage work in Manhattan's Lower East Side theater district. She moved to Los Angeles years later and found work as a model, with her height and looks bringing magazine appearances and advertising for brands including MTV Europe, KFC and Clorox 2, along with music videos for Rob Zombie, KoRn, Usher, T.I. and Norah Jones. Her screen debut was in the Lion's Gate thriller Holla, where she played Caprice, a camper, opposite Michael Bergin. She then took a supporting part in Spike Lee's comedy Lovers & Haters as a caustic Hollywood diva opposite Mariah Carey, and appeared on the CW sitcom The Game, executive produced by Kelsey Grammer.
