The members of the Higher Ground cast are definitely breaking out to big and better things. Kandyse McClure who played Kat on Fox Family Channel's Higher Ground will be appearing in a small part in the upcoming movie "See Spot Run" due in theatres March 2, 2001. She has the role of the "attractive woman". She looked very pretty, very different from how she did in Higher Ground. Her hair was straight which is a change from the curly hair we saw on her as Kat. She had a relatively small part and she didn't say a word. All she did was smile. She was featured in the beginning of the movie, so go check it out. I found the movie to be quite enjoyable. So, spread the word.
Here is a brief synopsis of the movie I got at rottentomatoes.com. Gordon Smith, (Arquette) is an offbeat mailman who has never met a dog he couldn’t handle. When he offers to baby-sit James (Jones), the young son of his beautiful neighbor Stephanie (Bibb), he’s hoping she’ll return his romantic interest. A hard working single mom, Stephanie thinks Gordon is just an overgrown kid himself but circumstances force her to leave James with him, temporarily, while she is away on business.
Meanwhile in another part of town, an FBI agent named Murdoch, (Clarke Duncan) is trying desperately to find his runaway canine partner, Agent Eleven (Bob) who has escaped from protective custody. Thanks to the super dog’s drug detecting abilities, he has incurred the wrath of local mobster kingpin Sonny Talia (Sorvino) who has put out a contract on the four footed fed.
Luckily, Agent Eleven is a lot faster and smarter than Talia’s two inept henchmen Gino (Viterelli) and Arliss (Schirripa), so they aren’t having much luck. They lose the trail completely when the dog seeks refuge in Gordon’s mail truck, where he is promptly adopted by James, who names him "Spot."
Gordon is not exactly a dog lover, especially after having to use his ingenuity to fight off the mailman-hating mutts on his harrowing Bleeker St. postal route. Armed with a variety of ingenuous devices, Gordon enters the combat zone and emerges victorious, if not exactly unscathed. Back at the post office, his colleague and good buddy Benny (Anderson) is always ready to commiserate and offer advice to Gordon about his job and his love life. Meanwhile Stephanie is having her own set of unbelievable adventures trying to get back home, thanks to a freak snowstorm.
