Deborah Rhea
Seehorn (born May 12, 1972) is an American actress from the United States. She
is well-known for her role as attorney Kim Wexler on AMC's Better Call Saul

was conceived in Norfolk, Virginia on May 12, 1972. Her mother was the
executive assistant to the United States Navy, while her father was an agent in
the Naval Investigative Service; her family moved frequently throughout her
youth, living in Washington, D.C. and Arizona, as well as in Japan. Following
in the footsteps of her grandfather and father and mother, she was a student of
painting, drawing and building from very young. She continued pursuing the
visual arts, however, she had a growing passion for acting and was introduced
to contemporary theater in college. She earned her degree from George Mason
University in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in Studio Art. While at college,
Seehorn was looking to be a theater actor, following the encouragement from her
acting teacher. She was employed in ancillary positions in the theatre industry
in D.C. to try to be noticed. She eventually got important roles in local
theater productions, but still needed to take odd jobs to pay the bills as she
landed roles in several short instructional films. In the next few years, she
became part of more television productions. It was common for her to be
compared to Bea Arthur, who she described as "very wry,"
"sarcastic, and well-educated" women. These roles are usually ended
after only one or two seasons. Seehorn was the lead in Better Call Saul, the
Breaking Bad spinoff series. Seehorn is Kim Wexler (a lawyer) and is the love
interest of the titular Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman.
