    Nice actress, she definitely is ascending as an actress. She was good in Sky High and Yours, Mine and Ours even though they weren't spectacular movies. I think that she really puts on some effort in the TV series Shark, and I will be sure to catch her when she gets moe roles in movies.

    This rising star made her impact on the acting world as Jacey Jeffries in the Lifetime original movie “Mom At Sixteen”. She has gone on to star in other made-for-TV movies. hide show

    I absolutely looove her because she has some good acting chops and is a great actress. I liked her character in “Mom at Sixteen”. She totally brought Jacey to life. She did some good acting in that one. I also liked her character in “Stuck in the Suburbs” as Brittany. In “Stuck in the Suburbs”, she played Brittany so well. She has a good knack for acting and I hope we see more of her in the future. She is also brilliant if she somehow graduated school at the age of 14. She had some good chemistry with fellow co-star Brenda Strong in “Stuck in the Suburbs”. She will have a major impact on the world and will eventually become an acting legend. She has starred in some great movies that have some good messages and good morals and lessons to be learned.

    This girl will win an Oscar in the next 10 years... count on it! hide show

    This girl is one of the most underrated actresses of all time. Many of us have seen her in fun roles, such as Stuck un the Suburbs, Read it and Weep or Sky High. She is fun and bubbly in these, a good to watch. I never thought much of her until I saw her in Mom at Sixteen, a made for TV movie about a teenage mother. Her performance was absolutely breathtaking and heartwrenching! She showed real, raw emotion and left me sobbing like a three year old. Danielle has great range, we've seen her be crazy on Law and Order: SVU, we've seen her fun and bubbly on Stuck in the Suburbs, we've seen her be the antagonist in Read it and Weep. Also, she's been in Yours, Mine and Ours; Empire Falls, and guest starred on many other shows. Besides those roles, she's even starred in and produced a short film called Rule Number One. And all of this before her 20th birthday!

    If she keeps this momentum, she will be the next Julia Roberts. This girl will win an Oscar in the next 10 years... count on it!
