Kate Hudson has revealed that she was starstruck by Kevin Miles, widely recognised as Jake from State Farm, during the filming of the second season of the Netflix comedy series Running Point. Miles' appearance in the show marks his first-ever role in a scripted television series, where he portrays his iconic insurance advertisement character.
Hudson Praises Miles’ Versatility
Speaking at the TIME100 Summit, Hudson described Miles as “kind” and “down for anything,” highlighting his willingness to embrace the comedic demands of the role. She noted that his presence on set brought a unique energy, given his background in advertising rather than traditional acting.
Plot Details and New Cast Additions
In Running Point, Jake from State Farm assists Hudson’s character, Isla Gordon, in managing her basketball team and preventing poor decisions. The second season, which premiered on Netflix on 23 April, features returning cast members alongside new additions such as Ray Romano and Octavia Spencer.
Hudson’s comments come just hours before the season’s release, building anticipation among fans. The show continues to blend sports comedy with quirky character dynamics, and Miles’ inclusion adds a layer of pop-culture recognition.
