Kurt Yaeger

Kurt Yaeger was born in San Francisco, Ca and was raised in South San Francisco.

Kurt's first acting experienced began by being cast in his church's play about the birth of Christ. Upon seeing the crowded theater Kurt promptly sat down on his hands and refused to go on stage. The show went on without him.

One passion Kurt fell into early on was BMX. He would eat, drink and breath bicycles. His brother found a local BMX track, took Kurt to it and he was hooked for life. Leaving the big city behind he moved to Dallas, Texas. While in Texas Kurt began his journey. He held down a multitude of odd jobs; waiter, Massage Therapist, retail sales, forklift driver at Fedex.

Leaving Texas Kurt ended up in Orange County, Ca. He managed to work more odd jobs while pursuing BMX. Once in Orange County, Kurt found himself in the midst of the BMX culture. He acquired sponsors, went on tours and competed in events. In an interesting chain of events Kurt auditioned for a Nickelodeon live tour based on the popular cartoon show Rocket Power. Unknowingly, Kurt tried out for an acting role (he thought he was trying out for an athletic/stunt role). He landed the part and upon the first day of rehearsals the Director found out that his acting talent was as good as the athletes.

Injuries were taking there toll and Kurt decided to go back to college to pursue a Masters Degree in Hydrogeology. While attending school Kurt was in a motorcycle accident. This permanently altered the course of Kurt's life.

His left leg was amputated, his right ACL and MCL were torn, his pelvis was torn in half along with his bladder, seven vertebra were broken, his lungs collapsed, his ribs broken and a severe concussion. One year later Kurt made a full recovery. He has now dedicated himself to his passion, regardless if he "makes it".

His passion is film.
