Nickelodeon star Larisa Oleynik captured kids’ imaginations as a girl named Alex with superpowers on ‘The Secret World of Alex Mack’ from 1994 to 1998. While her acting career was gaining her fame and fortune, Larisa wanted to know how it would be to be a regular teen in a regular high school. She left the show after four seasons to give high school a chance, got bored, and went back to acting.
Now, Oleynik is now all grown up. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence, landed a role on ‘Mad Men’ and starred in TV shows such as ‘The Healing Powers of Dude,’ and ‘ Trinkets.’
Neve Campbell
Neve Campbell is mostly known to her fans for her role as the iconic character Sydney Prescott in the series of ‘Scream’ films. Playing the role of Julia Salinger, she trotted into the hearts of many with the teen drama ‘Party of Five.’ Much to the dismay of her fans, Campbell left her career at the peak and moved to London in 2016.
The next big thing came her way when she rocked her guest appearance in the famous TV series ‘House of Cards,’ surprising the audience considerably. Campbell also made an impact while acting alongside The Rock in ‘Skyscraper.’ Campbell reprised her role as Sydney in the reboot "Scream" movie.

Since 2014, Union has been happily married to basketball player Dwayne Wade. Gabrielle is best known for her 20o1 role in 'The Brtheres"; however, the list of her appearances goes on and on.

Meagan Good
Meagan Good started acting at four years old. Born in 1981, she says she grew up with lots of self-confidence despite being nerdy and petite. Getting into television, she appeared on 'Doogie Howser M.D.' and found further success in 'Cousin Skeeter,' which ran from 1998 to 2001. As a child actress, she landed many roles, but her career really took off as an adult.

Soon, she won the role of Nona Mecklenberg in 'The Adventures of Pete & Pete,' which ran until 1996, rocketing her to fame at the tender age of nine.

Most of Trachtenberg's first roles were on Nickelodeon until she moved on up to adult showbiz with roles in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Gossip Girl.'
