Toronto – August 9, 2013Actress Kate Drummond stars as lead female Anna Grímsdóttir, better known as Grim, in the highly anticipated Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist, available Tuesday, August 20, 2013 on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo WiiU and PC.

Starting in 2002, Splinter Cell has grown to become a series of award-winning action-adventure stealth video games based off novels by Tom Clancy. The story’s protagonist Sam Fisher is a highly-trained agent of a fictional black-ops sub-division within the National Security Agency (NSA) called 4^th Echelon.

Kate’s character Grim is the technical operations manager for the newly formed 4^th Echelon. She provides leader Sam Fisher with technical support in the field, and analyses and interprets much of the electronic data transmitted and intercepted by the team. A skilled hacker, Grim will help Sam and 4^th Echelon stop The Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero this summer.

This summer, Kate can be seen in the sci-fi TV mini-series CAT. 8 as Beverly Hillcroft, airing across North America on Reelz and the SPACE channel. Kate stars alongside The Dark Knight Rises’ Matthew Modine in this two-part series that follows a catastrophic backfire of a global defense system which launches unprecedented solar flares towards earth. With mere hours before the atmosphere ignites and the end of the world begins, only one man – a government outsider and renegade scientist – can reverse this cataclysmic disaster.

In addition, look out for Kate in the TV movie Clara’s Deadly Secret as Jane Jenkins, set to release in 2013. Kate plays the heart wrenching role of Clara’s mother who spends a lifetime dealing with the inexplicable death of her young daughter.

Kate can be recognized from her roles in TV series, such as Being Human and Sweet Tart’s Takeaway, a web series CBC chose to adapt into a one hour special last summer, and more. Upcoming, watch for Kate in USA Network and Showcase’s Covert Affairs as well as the European feature film, The Informant.

Kate is a former elementary school teacher from Ottawa, Ontario. It was a question from one of her students that prompted her to leave the classroom after 12 years, to pursue her dream of becoming an actor.

Recently, Kate was honoured to endorse Gamers for Sandy Hook, a campaign raising money for the Sandy Hook PTA to help them rebuild their community. As a former teacher and member of the video game industry, this initiative was close to Kate’s heart. Kate created a video addressing the tragedy and asked for financial support for those affected. In response, a Splinter Cell fan was so touched by her video, he donated $500 to the cause.

Kate Drummond is also the creator and host of the online reality cooking series, A Jock’s Guide (www.ajocksguide.com). Kate shares hilarious step-by-step recipe videos that don’t always go as planned.

Growing up as a competitive athlete, Kate understands the important role sports play in a child’s life and in turn, donates all proceeds to her partner charity, KidSport™ Ontario. KidSport™ is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance for registration fees and equipment to kids aged 18 and under.
