The Same Year KaDee Strickland Served As An Extra In The Independent Film
Strickland studied the profession in Philadelphia and New York City, where she obtained mostly small roles in film, television and theater projects, among them The Sixth Sense (1999). Her participation in the 2003 Hollywood films Anything Else and Something’s Gotta Give led to her receiving significant parts in the horror pictures Anacondas and The Grudge (both 2004). She never considered a career in the performing arts until her participation in a one-act play performed by students of her high school: ” the minute I set foot on stage, that was it. There were no other options. Consequently, she applied instead to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. According to Strickland, her role in the film helped her learn to temper her fake crying. The same year, she served as an extra in the independent film The Sterling Chase, and appeared in a small role opposite Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie in James Mangold’s drama Girl, Interrupted. When staying in Philadelphia, Strickland had opportunities to take part in other films in production in and around the city.
