Tate Kenney

Born in Canada, Tate began commercial modeling with FORD as a child and fell in love with acting in children's theatre. A self-professed bookworm, she fused her artistry with her social activism early on, all the while excelling at competitive cheerleading, dance, and long-distance running. She graduated with an Honors Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Ontario before studying at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, completing their Two Year Conservatory Program, where she was the recipient of the Vincent D'Onofrio Scholarship Award.

Beginning to work professionally in New York, Tate frequents both the stage and screen. Onstage, she has played Flirt in William Inge's "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs" (Lee Kasper, dir.), Darlene in Lanford Wilson's "Balm in Gilead" (Jenna Worsham, dir.) and Marcia in Stephen Adly Guirgis' "Our Lady of 121st Street" (Kelly O'Donnell, dir.). She was last seen onstage in leading roles in both Unhinged: the 9th annual Women's Work Short Play Festival presented by New Perspectives Theatre Company and The Future is Female Festival, presented by MultiStages, in honor of Women's History Month.

Tate's recent work has been primarily on screen. She played Chloe Jones in Rian Johnson's series "Poker Face" (Peacock) alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt (S1 E9 "Escape from Shit Mountain") and she played a lead walker on "Dead City" (AMC) in their premiere episode (S1 E1). She has doubled onscreen for Anna/Emma Roberts on "American Horror Story"(FX) season 12, "Delicate", working with directors Jennifer Lynch, Bradley Buecker, Gwyneth Horder-Payton and Jennifer Lamb in various episodes. In addition to doubling as Anna/Emma Roberts, she performed stunts and intimate/nude work and worked with dogs, cats, birds, goats, snakes, spiders, maggots, SFX, puppeteers and prosthetic make-up.

Tate recently completed work on the new limited mini-series "Dying For Sex" (Disney/FX), starring Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate and Sissy Spacek, based on the hit podcast of the same name, where she doubled, performed stunt and intimate/nude work as Molly/Michelle Williams in addition to two co-star roles, in episodes one and four, portraying the Naked Woman and an Emergency Room Nurse respectively. She is currently working on Netflix's miniseries "Sirens" (LuckyChap) from showrunner Molly Smith Metzler ("Maid"), working alongside Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon and Milly Alcock.

Tate has been employed as a teaching artist in both the Young Actors and the Institute program at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. She taught full time during the 2023 WGA/SAG strike.

Tate continues to model occasionally, and has been featured in campaigns for Hint water, Dudley's restaurant (NYC), The Home Tee, EJ Skalde jewelry, Adobe, Orseund Iris and Urban Outfitters.

Tate is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and is represented by Dream Maker Talent Management. She splits her time between New York, Los Angeles and Toronto, though she's primarily based out of Manhattan, where she resides with her husband. She is a dual Canadian-American citizen.
