Linda Kash plays tough, opinionated, and abrasive Trudy, Chelsea Steven's food stylist, in Touchstone Television's new half-hour comedy series Style & Substance.
"If Trudy was stuck with you on a deserted island," said Kash, "you would surely survive -- but you might not want to."
Born on January 17 in Montreal, and raised in Toronto, Kash is one of five children of classical musician parents. She attended the Stratford School and planned on pursuing a career in "serious" theater until she took a summer course at Second City in Chicago. Her newfound love of comedy kept her performing and directing with Second City for several years until a pilot she co-wrote was sold and brought her to Los Angeles in 1991.
She has appeared in the feature films "Waiting for Guffman," "Ernest Rides Again," "The Events Leading Up to My Death," and "Urban Safari."
Her extensive television credits include roles in such shows as "Seinfeld," "3rd Rock from the Sun," "She TV," "Partners in Love," "Maniac Mansion," "Street Legal," "Max Glick," "My Talk Show," "The Jim Henson Hour," and "The Second City 15th Anniversary Show."
Just a few of Kash's theater credits include appearances in "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and a Baby," which won her a Dora Award for Best Writing in a Musical/Revue, and in "Family Secrets," "Blood Brothers," "Bordering on Madness," "Not Based on Anything by Stephen King," "The Tempest," and "Of Mice and Men."
In addition to her Stratford School and Second City Workshop experience, Kash has also studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, as well as with various acting coaches and at a clown workshop.
In her spare time, Kash, an orange belt in judo, likes to paint, listen to music, and create pottery. She resides in Los Angeles with her husband, actor Michael Riley.
