Cosgrove, 15, nabbed her first TV series and feature film roles at age nine. She was cast first as Megan Parker, the deceptively sweet, scamming sister on Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh'" and soon after as Summer Hathaway, the over-achieving preppy manager of Jack Black's rock band on the big screen in Richard Linklater's "School of Rock." Miranda's other film credits include the 2005 feature-film release "Yours, Mine and Ours" from Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Movies and "Keeping up with the Steins."
