Kacie Adams (Actor) is honored to work on this show. Her history with Cone Man Running goes back to 2015 with her first Smattering appearance, and the years between have been filled with acting, writing, tech, and a bevy of glamorous production jobs (did you know she was once Cone Man’s ad hoc plumber?).
