EXCLUSIVE: Actress Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) has signed with Untitled Entertainment for management, with partner Evan Hainey to run point on her behalf.
“Funny enough Evan helped start my career well over a decade ago and we have remained good friends ever since,” Graham told Deadline. “I have consistently turned to him for guidance over the years as I navigated my journey in this industry, and he has never steered me wrong. This is a natural alignment. I am very grateful to join forces with a great man and solid friend like him.”
Graham broke out with her series regular role as witch Bonnie Bennett across all eight seasons of The CW’s supernatural teen drama The Vampire Diaries, which aired between 2009 and 2017. Developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, the show based on L.J. Smith’s books had her starring alongside Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, and more.
Most recently, Graham starred opposite The Umbrella Academy‘s Tom Hopper in the Netflix rom-com Love in the Villa, which marked her 4th consecutive #1 with the streamer. Prior to that, she starred in Vertical’s thriller Collide with Ryan Phillippe and Jim Gaffigan, as well as DreamWorks’ series TrollsTopia for Hulu and Peacock.
The voice of April O’Neil in multiple TMNT projects, including Nickelodeon’s Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Graham has also previously been seen in the RZA-helmed action drama Cut Throat City, Lionsgate’s crime thriller The Poison Rose opposite Morgan Freeman and John Travolta, Netflix’s action thriller How It Ends opposite Theo James and Forest Whitaker, Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez On Me, and Lionsgate comedy Where’s the Money. Additional credits include the films Operation Christmas Drop and Holiday Calendar for Netflix.
Up next, Graham will be seen in writer-director Tyler Perry’s Black, White & Blue, his first film under a four-picture deal with Amazon. She continues to be repped across the board by UTA.
