Biography:
Singled out by Entertainment Weekly for her "knack for slapstick reminiscent of Lucille Ball," Amanda Bynes stars as the impetuous Holly in the sophomore comedy What I Like About You. Born and raised in Thousand Oaks, California, the young actress began her career at a comedy camp. As she continued to work on her craft, it was at a showcase performance in Los Angeles that producers Brian Robbins and Dan Schneider discovered her and added Bynes to the cast of Nickelodeon's All That. After just one season, she was nominated for a 1997 Cable Ace Award, putting her in the company of such established actresses as Tracey Ullman and Janeane Garofalo. Working steadily since the age of 10, Bynes charmed audiences in the hit comedy Big Fat Liar with Frankie Muniz. In the spring of 2003, Bynes starred in her first lead role in the hit film What A Girl Wants, co-starring Colin Firth and Kelly Preston.
