Sackhoff was born in Portland, Oregon, and grew up in St. Helens, Oregon. Her mother Mary was an ESL program coordinator and her father Dennis is a land developer. Her brother Erick is co-owner of a vehicle modification shop near Portland. She graduated from Sunset High School in Beaverton in 1998. She began swimming at an early age and by high school was planning to go pro until her right knee was injured. This led her to begin practicing yoga, which she continues today, and pursue an interest in acting.She performed in high school productions of Oliver!, Fiddler on the Roof and Bye, Bye Birdie. Her interest in acting compelled her to move to Hollywood, California, upon graduating from high school.
Fact: Katee Sackhoff doesn’t need to earn any more nerd cred. The seasoned sci-fi actress' turn as the hard-drinking, hard-fighting Starbuck on “Battlestar Galactica” inspired devotion in fanboys and feminists alike, but now she appears to have her eye on another television series that will likely be the talk of the comic shop: the recently green-lit “Powers,” based on Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's popular comic book series.
