À Propos D’un Acteur/Actrice – (janv. 2025)

Kade Pintado

Kade grew up outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, in a small town with a real Friday-Night-Lights feel. They went to New Orleans Center for Creative Arts throughout high school. After graduating, Kade attended Emerson College, getting a BFA in Theatre and Performance with a minor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Kade has been film acting on and off for the past decade or so. While at Emerson, they met Liam O'Connor-Genereaux, who brought them on for the ride of their life in by playing Izzy in WalrusDice Production’s Zephyr. The Butterfly Queen was their second time working with WalrusDice Productions, and the project is special to them in so many ways. TBQ was a beacon and a friend for Kade during the pandemic and Kade’s process of coming out publicly as nonbinary. It was the first production they’ve been in since coming out, and they are so grateful to get to bring a character like Casey to life. For Kade, performing has always been a freeing and healing practice. Now, while still pursuing acting, Kade is also building a career in therapeutic work. They currently do recreational therapy at a memory care center. Kade loves living in a little Boston gayborhood with their cat named Normal, working professionally at leisure activities with people much older than themself, while rediscovering their voice “post”-pandemic and post-transition.
