Chris Pine sister Katherine Pine is a former actress with three acting credits on IMDB. Kat is now working as a psychologist.
Media often gets confused over Katherine Pine and Katherine Heigl. According to The Sun, some magazines have also used one’s images in place of the other’s image.
They tend to get mixed up partly due to the striking facial and physical resemblance and party because of their first name and their age.
The two were also in the same profession as actresses in Hollywood until Pine traded her showbiz glamour for clinical psychology. Comedian Leo Gallagher and his brother Ron Gallagher also look similar.
Heigl is best known for her appearance as Samantha Wheeler in the television series Suits. She portrayed Tully Hart in the Netflix series Firefly Lane. Heigl has 49 acting credits under her belt on her IMDb profile whereas her doppelganger Pine has only 3 credits for acting on her IMDb profile.
Pine’s brother Chris Pine is best known for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek film and television series. He made his acting debut in 2003 with the television series ER and has since amassed 64 acting credits on his IMDb profile.
