Daniella Monet on AllMovie

The small screen has been very kind to actress Daniella Monet; following numerous commercial appearances beginning at age seven, the talented young actress quickly went on to land supporting roles in such highly popular television series as Pacific Blue and American Dreams -- eventually graduating to a starring role on former Seinfeld star Jason Alexander's sitcom Listen Up. It was obvious from Monet's first television appearance that the camera took kindly to the brunette starlet, and by building her resumé with memorable performances on such shows as American Dreams and 8 Simple Rules...for Dating My Teenage Daughter, Monet proved to producers that she also had the talent to back up her photogenic qualities. When it was announced that Jason Alexander would be starring in his own sitcom modeled after the life of famous Washington Post sports writer Tony Kornheiser, the search was on to find a young actress capable of filling the role of the character's soccer-loving teenage daughter. Critics and audiences agreed that producers had certainly scored a goal by choosing Monet for the part, and it seemed only a matter of time before she would truly come into her own in features as well.
