Though she grew up in a famous professional football household, actress Kate Mara turned to performing on stage and screen at an early age, leading her to become a professional before she had even graduated high school. Mara quickly amassed several credits on television shows like "Law & Order" (NBC, 1990-2010), and features like "Random Hearts" (1999) and "Tadpole" (2002). She graduated to recurring roles on "Everwood" (The WB, 2002-06), "Nip/Tuck" (FX, 2003-2010) and "Jack & Bobby" (The WB, 2004-05), before landing more prominent feature parts in "Brokeback Mountain" (2005), "We Are Marshall" (2006) and "Shooter" (2007). Mara went on to prominent supporting turns on "Entourage" (HBO, 2004-2011) and in "Iron Man 2" (2010) and "127 Hours" (2010), before landing her first regular series role on the acclaimed horror drama "American Horror Story" (FX, 2011- ) and following up with a strong performance on the critically acclaimed "House of Cards" (Netflix, 2013- ). After that breakthrough role, Mara became better known for her work in a string of action and science fiction films including starring roles in "Fantastic Four" (2014) and Ridley Scott's "The Martian" (2015).
