Kendall Schmidt
Kendall Francis Schmidt (born November 2, 1990) is an American actor and singer. He is best known for playing Kendall Knight in Big Time Rush. He has played small roles on different TV shows such as ER, Without a Trace and Frasier.

In mid 2009, Schmidt was cast in the Nickelodeon series Big Time Rush as one of the four main characters, Kendall Knight. The show premiered to a record breaking 7.1 million total viewers, making it the highest rated premiere for a live action series in Nick history.
Kendall was a contestant, and eventual winner, of the re-boot season of the DWTSGame, Season 27. He was paired with DWTS Season 10 contestant, Erin Andrews's dancer sister, Kendra.
