One-on-One with Canadian Actor Kim Coates
Early life and career
Coates was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to Fred and Joyce Coates. He had never seen a play before attending the University of Saskatchewan, where he enrolled in a drama course as an elective. Once inspired, he dove into theatre. He admits that he took drama by chance in university and, after two years, he knew he wanted to be an actor. Coates portrayed Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire and was the youngest ever to play title role of Macbeth at the Stratford Festival in his native Canada. Coates made his screen debut in the film The Boy in Blue (1986). Even though it was a very small role, it opened up opportunities for him, and he has appeared in over 100 titles to date.
Personal life
Coates lives in Los Angeles, California with his wife, Diana, and two children, Kyla and Brenna. He is known to be good friends with actor William Fichtner, as well as Kevin Costner and Sons of Anarchy co-star Theo Rossi. Kim became a United States citizen in 2010.
