Trivia

add »
Amanda originally read for the role of malicious queen bee Regina George in the 2004 film Mean Girls, and while director Mark Waters said that she did a great job in the audition, he didn't feel that for this particular character, she would be the best candidate to go opposite of Lindsay Lohan. However, the casting crew liked Amanda so much that they chose her to play ditzy Karen Smith. (edit)
Amanda originally auditioned for the title role on Veronica Mars but lost the place to Kristen Bell. Instead of playing Veronica she was offered the role of Lilly, Veronica's dead bestfriend. She was so popular in this role she was brought back more often than ever expected. (edit)
Amanda appeared on the stage in The Wind in the Willows, A Christmas Carol, Grease and Hearts Aflame: An Evening of Love and Hate Letters. (edit)
With her mother, Amanda made several trips to New York for casting calls and photo shoots. (edit)
Amanda began her modeling career at the age of 11. (edit)

Quotes

Amanda: I do feel like I've grown up. Living by yourself in two cities, having a relationship, the Hollywood stuff. It forces you to deal with things as an adult. (edit)
Amanda: It sucks because I don't know what I'm doing next. It'll probably be guest-star work, little jobs that you do for a week, which is cool. But it's just kind of annoying to have to audition so much right now. (edit)
Amanda: It's a brilliant film, but I don't like the way I did my part, I didn't believe myself. Plus, I thought I looked hideous. (edit)
Amanda: I just love to act and be on the set. I want to make acting my life and get really good roles. (edit)
Amanda: I like all the men Laura Linney gets to act with. She is such a bitch. Not really. (edit)
