Miranda Cosgrove is best known for her role as Megan Parker in the Drake and Josh show on Nickelodeon. On Nick, she plays the little sister to Drake Bell. She has also guest starred in shows such as Unfabulous, Zoey 101, and Grounded for Life. Miranda is now about to star in her own series on Nickelodeon, iCarly, where she will play, of course, Carly. The first episode will air September 8, 2007.
Friends Create Web Cast
iCarly is a show about two best friends, Carly and Sam (played by Jennette McCurdy) who develop their own web cast program on the Internet. They come up with the idea when Carly is asked by a teacher in her school to hold auditions for a school talent show. The girls get Carly's technically-inclined neighbor, Freddy (played by Nathan Kress) to tape the auditions. The auditions are accidentally posted to the web, and before they know it, viewers are wanting more of their hilarious antics and stunning talents to be broadcast. Carly and Sam shoot their web cast from Carly's third-floor loft studio. Who knows what we will see on their web casts in the future! For them anything goes, including comedy acts, recipes, and fascinating interviews.
Miranda Cosgrove is no stranger to the movie world either. She has played in movies, such as Keeping Up with the Steins (2006), The Wild Stallion (2006), and Yours, Mine and Ours (2005), among others.
Big Break on Nickelodeon
She was born in Los Angeles, CA on May 14, 1993, which makes her 14 years old. Her talents were discovered at a very young age, and Miranda was quickly signed on by a talent agent. Her humble beginnings were starring in commercials for McDonald's and Burger King. She then got her big break when she became Megan Parker on the Drake and Josh show on Nickelodeon. The show has been airing since 2004, and she has starred in 52 episodes to date. The Drake and Josh show will have a new episode out on September 16, 2007 titled, The Dance Contest.
Be sure to check out the official iCarly website where you can play games, send in your own crazy videos, send messages to Carly and Sam, and give them suggestions for future episodes. You can also learn more about the cast. The full site will be running on September 8, 2007, which is the same day as the debut of their show.
It looks like Miranda Cosgrove is making her mark on the Nickelodeon scene in a big way. We can't wait to see what she does next!
