Actor Kurt Krause was born in Alabama and spent his formative years growing up in Louisiana. The youngest of three, his childhood was rich with the arts. His parents, who met while acting on a show together, practically raised their children on the stage. As a young boy, he spent many nights backstage. During one show, he even fell asleep on a mattress behind that set after it was used for a window stunt each night.
In addition to working on community theater shows, Kurt studied the theatrical arts in grade school. After graduating high school, he attended Louisiana State University to continue his education where he would win awards for his stage portrayal of a homosexual soldier. While there, he further honed his craft by performing in the local stand up comedy scene and studying physical theater.
After college, Kurt began pursuing a career in film. He is known for his work in American Horror Story, True Detective, The Town that Dreaded Sundown, and Dead Saturday.
