Born on March 9, 1986 in Tampa, Florida, Brittany Snow is a television and film actress known for her roles in films like The Pacifier, John Tucker Must Die, Hairspray, and Prom Night. The daughter of a publishing professional and an insurance agent, Snow grew up in Tampa Bay. She is good friends with fellow young actors Sophia Bush, Amanda Bynes, Zac Efron, and Bethany Joy Galeotti. Snow later voiced Shizuku in the Americanized version of Hayao Miyazaki's Whisper of the Heart. In the fall of 2000, she enrolled as a freshman in the Tampa-area's Gaither High School, a public secondary institution. At the age of 16, Snow signed for one of the central roles on NBC's coming-of-age series American Dreams, a kind of Wonder Years update.

Former child actress Brittany Snow got her start in daytime soaps but she eventually made a name for herself playing spunky 1960s teens in the nostalgic TV series "American Dreams" (ABC, 2002-05) and the blockbuster musical, "Hairspray" (2007). Her hilarious turn playing snooty, bubble-haired Amber von Tussle in the Broadway adaptation of the latter landed her a rapid succession of big screen roles. Over the following year, she was slated to appear alongside Matthew Broderick in the comedy "About Amanda" (2008) and revive the role made famous by Jamie Lee Curtis in the horror classic, "Prom Night" (2008).

Snow decided to return to network TV in 2010 when she signed on to play a lawyer’s assistant in David E. Kelly’s midseason legal drama Harry’s Law. Offscreen, she is active with the Jed Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing emotional stress and preventing suicide among college students.
