Trivia: After taking one of her first bows as the outspoken, assertive manager of an elementary school band in the Jack Black comedy School of Rock (2003), and playing one of the ten children of a fashion designer (Rene Russo) in the family comedy remake Yours, Mine and Ours (2005), actress Miranda Cosgrove landed a starring role on her own television series. She signed with The Disney Channel to play Carly Shay in iCarly (2007), a sitcom about a teenage girl who launches and runs an Internet webcast with two of her best friends. She voiced the part of Margo, one of the three children adopted by an evil mastermind in the animated film Despicable Me, and that film's sequel. Her debut album Sparks Fly dropped in April of 2010.

Trivia: Onscreen performer Jennette McCurdy launched her acting career as a child star in the early 2000s. She subsequently divided her time between supporting roles in made-for-television features, such as the 2004 Tiger Cruise and the 2007 Last Day of Summer; guest-star assignments on series programs including Malcolm in the Middle, CSI, and Will & Grace; and occasional bit parts in theatrical features. McCurdy ascended several notches in terms of billing when cast as one of the leads on the Nickelodeon cable series iCarly in 2007. The program concerns Carly, a young woman (Miranda Cosgrove) who runs a regular Internet webcast with two of her friends (played by McCurdy and Nathan Kress). In the years to come, McCurdy would appear in movies like Minor Details.

Trivia: Though he was born in Washington, D.C., African-American film and television actor Tim Russ came of age in Turkey, where he attended Izmir High School for a brief period. Russ returned to the Big Apple prior to graduation and enrolled in Rome Academy, then studied theatrical arts at Saint Edwards University (as an undergraduate) and at Illinois State University (as a graduate student).Russ launched his film career on an exciting note, with his portrayal of blues legend Robert Johnson in Walter Hill's defiantly individualistic cinematic fable Crossroads (1986); he also delighted schtick fans the following year as the trooper hopelessly lost in the desert in Mel Brooks' gag-laden sci-fi spoof Spaceballs, and landed a plum supporting role in Clint Eastwood's homage to Charlie Parker, Bird (1988). Though Russ' subsequent work during the late '80s and the '90s occasionally dipped into exploitation -- such as his involvement in the lurid bedroom thriller Night Eyes 2 (1991) -- the actor also landed in more respectable fare from time to time. For instance, he joined the cast of the Billy Crystal comedy drama Mr. Saturday Night (1992) and appeared in a few episodes of the popular Will Smith sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.Russ left his most memorable mark, however, on Trekkies -- first with some appearances on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, then with his evocation of Lt. Commander Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager -- a role he carried from 1995 through 2001. In 2007, Russ returned to comedy, playing sarcastic doorman Frank on the Christina Applegate sitcom Samantha Who?, and playing Principal Franklin on the Disney series iCarly.

Trivia: A renowned character actress, Mindy Sterling honed her skills as a member of the Groundlings improv troupe in 1984. She had already begun building up her acting résumé by this time, making minor appearances on TV, and she would continue to find steady work with small but memorable roles, like as a writer on The Larry Sanders Show in 1992. Sterling's notoriety went up several notches in 1997, however, when she took on the role of stone-cold henchwoman Frau Farbissina in the Mike Myers comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. In the years following, the comedienne would reprise the role for two sequels, but she would also find significant work in television, landing regular roles on series like Robot Chicken, iCarly, and Chowder. She would also find success in the role of voice acting, lending her vocal talents to projects like Mars Needs Moms.
