- Nina Mansker is known for The Bad Batch (2016), Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) and Everybody Hates Chris (2005).Evidently, her only role has been the "Everybody Hates Chris" episode "Everybody Hates Big Bird."
- Ashby Dodge is known for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999).Besides some announcing, all she ever played was a murder victim in the "Law & Order: SVU" episode "P.C." There have to be more roles for this woman.
- Alysse Cepeda is known for Drake & Josh (2004).Unfortunatley, the only role she ever wanted was a guest appearence on the second half of the Drake & Josh episode "Really Big Shrimp." Sad for us, but it's her choice.
- Rachael Kathryn Bell has been acting since the age of 12, after trying out for her elementary school's musical "The Secret Garden". It was in that musical that she fell in love with acting, singing, and performing in general. She now goes by "little luna" and is fully immersed in her music career, but read on to see how she got there. At the age of 13 she started traveling back and forth from her home city of Pittsburgh to Los Angeles to audition for various commercials, TV shows, and films. Coast to Coast agency was the first to sign her, alongside Susan Curtis as management. Rachael would spend episodic season and pilot season in LA, homeschooling while auditioning, and then hop back into her public school in Pennsylvania whenever she wasn't in LA. She traveled back and forth from age 13-18, until moving to LA permanently after graduating high school in 2011. Before moving, she landed her first TV Show Guest Star role as "Addison" in The Suite Life on Deck (2008) on Disney Channel, at age 15. Originally Addison was a 1 episode character, but they loved Rachael's portrayal of her so much that they brought her back for 7 more episodes, throughout the 3 seasons the show aired. The following years, Rachael spent time studying her craft at Warner Loughlin Studios and auditioning full time. She worked on shows such as Awkward. (2011) and Body of Proof (2011) , and booked roles on independent films such as the Austin Film Fest Audience Award Winner: Speak Now (2013) . Since she had only ever allowed herself to focus on acting, years of yearning to make music built up. In 2018 she started attending songwriting camps for other artists, plus spent time working in the studio more regularly, writing songs for her own artist project: little luna. As of October 2nd, 2020 Rachael aka little luna released her debut single "shift & go" with a lyric video, music video, and full social media switch. In the first week "shift & go" broke 10K + streams on Spotify, 15k + streams all streaming platforms combined, and 2k YouTube views on her Music Video. In a statement, rachael said "this music is my sonic journey through re-discovering my truest self, giving you sounds & words to do so, as you do the same". Her background in film and love for the cinema, is evident in her music sonically and visually. Whether it be film or music, rachael has creativity on the horizon.Though another actress in the Lifetime TV-Movie "The Pregnancy Pact" looked like her, so far her only role has been on "The Suite Life on Deck."

Ciara Bravo has become one of the few actresses working today to move easily between television and film. Ciara's acting career has brought her roles that range from the girl next door brainiac to the deeply troubled adolescent. Her finesse with subtle off-beat humor and a touch of warmth adds to Ciara's allurement as an actress.
Next up, Ciara is co-starring in the YouTube RED series, Wayne as troubled and defiant Del. Ciara's two breakout television roles were as a series-regular in FOX's Second Chance and as a co-star in FOX's Red Band Society. She has landed the recent guest starring characters in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and NCIS.
Ciara will soon be seen in the Sundance-nominated film The Long Dumb Road as Ashly, the rebellious daughter of Casey Wilson. In Marti Noxon's film To the Bone, she plays Tracey a teen battling Bulimia. Her cameo appearance of Neighbor's 2 - Sorority Rising Ciara brought her All-American charm.
Ciara began her acting career at the young age of nine in local television commercials in her small hometown in Northern Kentucky, just ten miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio. Voice-over and commercial acting became her staple until, at only 11- years -old, she was discovered from an audition tape to play Katie Knight on Nickelodeon's hit show Big Time Rush. As Ciara's fan base grew, Nickelodeon cast her in several television movies including the lead in Jinxed. Ciara's audience appeal helped Nickelodeon's Jinxed to achieve record-breaking network viewership ratings.
Ciara studied acting with Larry Moss during his Master Class Workshop and continues to study with Aaron McPhearson. She strives to maintain her small town charm and works not to make acting the "be-all and end-all." To further her acting career, Ciara has chosen to put her dream of being a documentary filmmaker and director on hold and deferred her admission to film school. In the meantime, she plans to gain as much knowledge for the craft by watching and learning from those in the business that she has the privilege to work alongside. In her past-time, Ciara enjoys studying art history and has enrolled in art history classes through UCLA.A pair of Nickelodeon made-for-TV movies after "Big Time Rush," but despite the praise for her work on "Red Band Society," so far nothing. The producers of "Hot in Cleveland" missed the chance to get her to play a younger version of Valerie Bertinelli's character, and even if they hadn't, it still wouldn't have been enough.- Actress

She is starring in the upcoming film The Vast of Night, (which won the Slamdance Film Festival audience award and the Overlook Film Festival grand jury prize) as well as the ensemble horror piece V.F.W.Her failed audition for the indie flick "Trust Me," has proved she is way better of an actress than the kiddie-fare she's doing now. She actually made me want to see the movie even though she's not in it, and makes me want to see her in something else really soon.- Actress
