Nicky Katt started acting at the age of 7, when he appeared on the
TV series
CHiPs (1977) in 1977. He continued to work steadily through the
1980s on shows like
Quincy, M.E. (1976),
Father Murphy (1981), and
V (1984) but did not fall into
the trap of many child actors who became identified with one famous
role because his child roles were as guest spots or, as in the case of
Herbie, the Love Bug (1982), were canceled early on, or can't get work as adults and allow
their lives to fall to pieces.
In a way, Katt had two careers. The one as the child actor of the
late 1970s and early 1980s, and as the character actor of the 1990s who
so often played the bully or thug. Extremely talented and at ease in
front of a camera in the medium of either television or feature film,
Katt had a very impressive body of work for someone of his age.
