The Rally Monkey sorta made her first unofficial appearance on June 6th 2000. Two of the ballpark video operators (Dean Fraulino and Jayson Humes) played a clip of the monkey dancing in Ace Ventura during the bottom of the 9th. The Angels were down 5 - 4 to the SF Giants. Of course after the Angels rallied to win, the clip became a huge hit at the park. Which subsequently lead to the hire of the actual capuchin monkey, Katie. Her current Rally role has her busy for the last nine years, recording all sorts of Angel promos and making appearances. However before baseball, Katie was pretty much a staple on the big and small screen throughout the '90s and early 2000s. Some of her most notable projects included:
- Ace Ventura (1994)
- Outbreak (1995)
- Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls (1995)
- Addicted to Love (1997)
- George of the Jungle (1997)
- Instinct (1999)
- Flintstones II: Viva Rock Vegas (2000)
- Numerous appearances on the Tonight Show and Animal Planet.
And the role that made her famous – “Marcel The Monkey” on Friends (1994)...
