Mann was also seen in the hilarious comedy "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," in which she had a scene-stealing role as a French toast-craving, happy drunk named Nicky.  The blockbuster summer hit also starred comedians Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Catherine Keener, Seth Rogen, Jane Lynch and Romany Malco.

Peck came to fame as the talented young star of Nickelodeon's top-rated comedy "Drake & Josh."  He co-starred with Drake on "The Amanda Show" and made his feature film debut in the Paramount/Nickelodeon comedy "Snow Day."  In addition, he was Nick's "Kids Pick the President" correspondent.
 In 1994, Peck was bitten by the acting bug at age eight, when he and his career consultant mom lived in Boca Raton, Florida.  Stand-up comedy is second nature to Peck, who had successful engagements at Catch a Rising Star, Carolines, Stand-up New York, Yuk Yuks, Laugh Factory and Knitting Factory, as well as the legendary Improv.  In addition to starring in "Drake & Josh," Peck has appeared in numerous high-profile guest roles on series such as "ER," "The Guardian," "Mad TV" and "Fillmore."  He has hosted the Giffoni Film Awards and was a presenter at the Kids Choice Awards.  In addition to his burgeoning film and television career, Peck is committed to numerous charities including organizations and causes that benefit children.

David Dorfman

DAVID DORFMAN (Emmit) found, at a very young age, that he had a talent and passion for performing.  Discovered by a theatrical agent after taking over a magic show at a friend's birthday party, he quickly booked a series- regular role in the Disney pilot "Use Your Head."  Following that role, Dorfman easily began working regularly in commercials and television, and was soon cast opposite Academy Award® nominee William H. Macy in the critically acclaimed film "Panic."  
His career was off and running and he soon landed a recurring role in the CBS series "Family Law" opposite Academy Award® nominee Kathleen Quinlan, as well as a lead in the feature film "Bounce" opposite Academy Award® winners Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck. 
It was then that Dorfman won the hugely sought-after role of Aidan Keller opposite Academy Award® nominee Naomi Watts in the chilling and provocative thriller "The Ring," which went on to gross over $200 million and became a franchise for DreamWorks.
A truly versatile artist, Dorfman has been able to play a variety of characters in a myriad of stories.  Whether it be in a fantasy story, such as "A Wrinkle in Time," or as gritty a film as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," he loves to take on new challenges.  He has worked with such esteemed actors as Academy Award® nominee Robert Downey Jr., both in a recurring role as his son in the award-winning series "Ally McBeal" for Fox-TV and in the feature film "The Singing Detective," which also starred Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody and Academy Award® nominee Maria Bello.
David also enjoys music, maps and outdoor sports such as ATV'ing with his teenage friends.

Troy Gentile

TROY GENTILE (Ryan) was born in Boca Raton, Florida on October 27, 1993 and moved to Los Angeles as a teenager to pursue a lifelong dream of just being a normal kid.  Clearly, fate and Hollywood had other plans as Troy booked his first job on his first audition on his second day of representation, playing wheelchair- bound Matthew Hooper in Paramount Pictures' remake of "The Bad News Bears" with Billy Bob Thornton.
Since this first big break in 2005, Gentile has demonstrated an innate comedic brilliance.  He perfectly captured the young Jack Black twice: first in Paramount's "Nacho Libre" and in the New Line release "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny."  Showcasing his uncanny ability to imagine and enliven the young spirit of well-known personalities, he embodied a young Craig Ferguson with hilarious precision on "The Late Late Show."
Gentile has also guest starred on the Disney Channel hit "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody."  Following a celestial career trajectory at breakneck speed, he was recently seen in Lionsgate's "Good Luck Chuck" with Dane Cook and Jessica Alba and will be seen in DreamWorks'  "Hotel for Dogs" opposite Emma Roberts. 

Nate Hartley

NATE HARTLEY (Wade) was born to act and perform.  He began his career in 1997 at the young age of five by performing magic for his family and friends.  After several years of success in local venues, he was encouraged, at age 13, to pursue his acting career in Hollywood.
Soon after he moved to Los Angeles, Nate immediately began acting classes and pursuing a professional acting career.  His years of performing magic for family and friends paid off when he became accepted as a professional member of the Hollywood Magic Castle's Junior Magician Society.
His professional career began when he booked a guest star role on "The Bernie Mac Show."  Hartley's career really began to move forward during the summer of 2006 when he booked a recurring role on the Nickelodeon series "Unfabulous" and acted opposite John Malkovich in the feature film "The Great Buck Howard." 
Hartley enjoys directing and producing films and hopes to attend UCLA, majoring in directing and special effects.  He has started his own company, Prodigy Productions, which is owned and operated by teenagers.
He was born in Ravenna, Ohio, near Akron and Canton.  He currently divides his time between California and Ohio.  His efforts are supported by his sister, Danielle, mother, Michele, and father, Rei.

Alex Frost

ALEX FROST (FIlkins) took a chance and went in on an open casting call for local director Gus Van Sant's new film.  He not only made an impression, he landed the lead role of Alex in "Elephant," which was inspired by the horrific Columbine shootings.  A natural who never studied acting and had no professional acting experience, Frost received critical acclaim for his starring role as a troubled teen-turned-killer, and the film itself went on to garner a huge buzz when it won the prestigious Palme d'Or award at Cannes in 2003.
In 2005, Alex first starred in the gritty independent film "The Lost," directed by first-time director Chris Sivertson.  The film premiered at the South by Southwest Festival and won a cult following of fans.  Alex then shot the lead role opposite Alia Shawkat in the AFI 35 mm comedic short film "Queen of Cactus Cove," directed by the Emmy Award-winning director Anna Christopher.
This year, in addition to "Drillbit Taylor," Frost will also star in "Stop Loss," which was directed by Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don't Cry") and produced by Scott Rudin.  He plays a local boy in Texas who re-connects with his cousin (played by Ryan Phillippe) who has just returned from Iraq.  The film also stars Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Abbie Cornish.
