Get To Know 'The Last Ship' Actress Grace Kaufman With These 5 Need-to-Know Facts!

Allow us to introduce you to the super talented Grace Kaufman!

The 12-year-old actress currently stars on the TNT drama The Last Ship and opened up to us about it.

“Working on The Last Ship is a blast. I love the cast. They’re such sweet and down-to-earth people. And even though the show is a drama and a lot of heavy events occur, we all like to goof around between takes, so it’s great fun to work on,” Grace told JJJ. “Eric Dane, who plays my dad on the show, is especially cool to work with. He has kids of his own, but he relates to us in such a “real dad” way. We film funny videos and tease each other on set, like a real family.”

Grace has also worked on Lab Rats on Disney XD! She told us, “On the show, I got to play the role of Kerry Perry. She is sweet and innocent around her aunt, but sassy and rude when alone with the others. It’s so fun to play a bratty role such as this, and I was so excited to get to work with the amazing cast and crew.”
