Career

Cait’s parents like to remember that she enjoyed performing from a young age. She started showing interest for acting when she was eight years old, and when she turned 11 had her first role in the theatre production “American Girl Theatre”, then landed another role in the musical entitled “13”.
In 2014 she had a role in the off-Broadway production of “Heathers the Musical”, based on the original TV film of 1988. She also started appearing in such TV shows as “CSI: NY” (2007-2013), “Two and a Half Men” (2003 – 2015), in which she played the role of Joanne; “Everybody Hates Chris” (2005-2009) as Darlene, and played Kennedy in the “Lincoln Heights” series (2006 – 2009).
In 2018 Cait appeared in two more projects: the series entitled “The Middle” (2009 – 2018) in which she landed the role of Amanda, and “K.C. Undercover” (2013 – 2018) in which she played Ursula.

I’m releasing music!! The first song comes out November 16th and it will be under the name “Ginesse” and I’m so incredibly nervous. It’s been a while in the making and it’s been such a collaborative process so general thanks to @mrmatiasmora @mia_pants @thecarysinger @MrOfford pic.twitter.com/8Pc3vOjzK2

Personal life, ex-boyfriend Cary Singer
Cait earlier dated her long-term boyfriend Cary Singer. The couple met in the circle of their mutual friends, and started dating in 2016. They barely hid their relationship, posting some personal photos on their Instagram accounts, and wishing each other a Merry Christmas and congratulating each other on St. Valentine’s Day, however, they broke up in September 2018. Cait had hard times recovering from the painful break-up, and her new single called “Bedford” helped to heal her soul wounds, as well as rewriting some events in her memory to deal with her sadness.
‘While living in New York, I collected so many moments with this particular person, especially in Brooklyn which inspired the title. It’s about how you can rewrite the movie in your head and forget the reality of why it even ended. The ‘it wasn’t that bad’ stage of grieving. The ‘am I actually missing them or am I just lonely?’ stage’, she shared in her interview to the Nylon magazine in 2018. Cait uploaded the official video on the single on her YouTube channel, which displays Cait sitting in front of the big screen watching her walks with her ex-boyfriend.
