Allison Scagliotti, more popularly known as Mindy Crenshaw on Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh, has been in the acting business ever since her early teens. She spent her early childhood in Monterey, California where she was born before her family moved to Mandeville, Louisiana. Even at an early age, Allison had a penchant for the performing arts and was involved in Pontchartrain Elementary School's talent drama department at age five. Appearing on stage became an outlet for her tendency to put on a show. In 2001, she and her parents returned to California to explore her opportunities for an acting career. Immediately, Scagliotti got herself an acting coach and tried out for pilot season in Los Angeles.

During her first few years as a teen actress, most of her work were on television, making her debut as Molly Potts in the Chevy Chase TV pilot America's Most Terrible Things (2002). She then appeared in a couple of more tele-movies and as a guest star in family/teen series like Grounded for Life and Zoey 101. In 2006, Allison made her feature film debut with a minor role in the dramedy The TV Set, which starred David Duchovny and Sigourney Weaver. The same year, she played a significant role as Abby Brown, one of the hostages in the school shooting episode of the CW teen drama One Tree Hill.

From 2004 to 2007, Scagliotti portrayed the arrogant know-it-all on-and-off girlfriend of Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) on the teen show Drake & Josh. Among her other memorable roles are Hera Theophilus, a young MIT graduate on Gemini Division, Taylor Stiltskin, a spoiled birthday celebrant in an episode of the Starz sitcom Party Down, and Heather Masters, a suicidal teenager in an episode of the FOX drama Mental. In 2009, Allison joined Joanne Kelly, Eddie McClintock, and Saul Rubinek in retrieving weird artifacts on the sci-fi dramedy Warehouse 13. She has also been cast to play Twyla, one-half of the Wonder Twins, in the ninth season of Smallville.

Allison Glenn Scagliotti-Smith Is A Beautiful Girl. She Has Such Soft And Silky Looking Hair And She Has The Most Soulful Eyes. She Is Truly An Angel From Above. Another Thing I Love About Allison Is That When She Is Acting She Really Knows How To Become Her Character. She Is Absolutely Wonderful At Playing Her Part As Mindy Crenshaw On The Television Show Drake And Josh. With Both Her Great Looks And Wonderful Talents She Is Just To Good For All Those Boys Out There. I Am Just Amazed At Her Abilities And Am Running Out Of Words To Describe How Much I Adore Her. I Miranda L Am Allison Glenn Scagliotti-Smith's Number One Fan! No One Has Too Agree With That Last Sentence.

i have only seen her in the episode "With Tired Eyes, Tired, Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept" on One tree Hill but I have to say she did amazing. I hope they bring back the character of Abbey because she really did a great job. I really love the speech she makes to Marcus she played it perfect her tears her expression all of it i dont think anyone could have played it better. i think i wmight just check out some of the other shows she is in and see if she is just as good in them. but from what ive seen 2 thumbs up Allison

Allison Scaglotti Smith is not your traditional female actress at all. Shes sarcastic, bitter, and mean in pretty much all of her roles (although Mindy Crenshaw from Drake and Josh is loosening up) and is incrediable at doing it. Her voice suits the characters perfectly and sounds almost naturally smart and sarcastic. It does not limit her though, Mindy Crenshaw seems alot more vulnerable this season as well, and its great thats shes finally branching out. She also does not seem to care too much about her fame as there is NOTHING about her out there, as pretty and talented as she is.
