Netflix 'The Umbrella Academy': From Dr Addison to The Handler, how Kate Walsh became a household name

'The 13 Reasons Why' star has a busy schedule this year with her taking up a new role in 'The Umbrella Academy'
UPDATED JAN 23, 2019

"Age is just a number. Unless that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road," said Kate Walsh in her tell-all interview with 'Harper's Bazaar'.

However, age is clearly not a factor for the 51-year-old star who chose to never give up and a long career of varied roles across broad spectrums of entertainment has finally helped her make a mark for herself. After playing fantastic roles in 'Grey's Anatomy', 'Fargo', 'Bad Judge' and recently '13 Reasons Why', the versatile actress is all set to play the role of The Handler in a live adaptation of Gerard Way's award-winning graphic novel series, 'The Umbrella Academy'.
