Kendall Cross

Born and raised in Kamloops, B.C., Kendall didn’t exactly have a straight shot to stardom, but she sure made it look like she did. After high school, she packed her bags for the University of British Columbia, diving headfirst into the world of stage acting for her B.F.A. You can bet she didn’t waste any time—her first ever TV audition landed her on the set of Highlander back in ‘92. Not bad for a rookie, right? From there, she just kept showing up—on screens big and small—for over two decades. If you’ve seen Flight 93 (2006) or The Butterfly Effect (2004), you’ve probably caught her in action. She’s got that face you recognize, even if you can’t always place the name right away. That’s the mark of a real working actor—always popping up somewhere, adding depth to stories, never really hogging the spotlight but somehow stealing your attention anyway. Off-camera, her life’s a bit more low-key. She tied the knot with Hans Bergstrom, who’s a mechanical engineer (talk about a power couple), back in 2005. Now they’ve got two kids running around, so she’s juggling scripts and snack times like a pro. Honestly, her career’s a testament to sticking with your craft, riding out the highs and lows, and keeping things real both on and off the screen. If you’re chasing longevity in acting, Kendall’s whole vibe is basically the blueprint.
