Amanda Bynes

Born and raised in California, the young actress has worked steadily since the age of 10. She was first discovered in a showcase performance in Los Angeles by producers Brian Robbins and Dan Schneider, who added her to the cast of Nickelodeon's All That in 1996. After just one season, she was nominated for a 1997 Cable ACE Award. Remaining on the show for four seasons, Bynes was kept doubly busy with other television and film projects.

At the age of 12, Bynes became the youngest performer ever to host her own variety sketch show, The Amanda Show, which debuted in 1999. Her work on the show brought her four consecutive Kids' Choice Awards for Favorite Television Actress.

In 2002, Bynes made her feature film debut starring opposite Frankie Muniz in the comedy Big Fat Liar, for which she won a Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actress. She also lent her voice to the role of Piper in the animated hit Robots. Bynes next stars in the romantic comedy Lovewrecked, directed by Randal Kleiser.
