Where Miranda Cosgrove Stands With iCarly Costar Jennette McCurdy

by

Miranda Cosgrove is seeing the brighter side of her onscreen friendships.

The actress who played the lead character Carly Shay in the show iCarly (from Nickelodeon) reminisced about her time on the series, discussing her current relationship with her ex-costar Jennette McCurdy.

Miranda, aged 32, expressed during an interview with People on September 7 that she and her co-stars are still close. She added that Nathan Kress is also a good friend of hers. “I will always have affection for them,” she said, “and they’ll always be like family to me because we spent so many years growing up together in the industry.

When iCarly debuted in 2007, the main actors – Miranda, Nathan portraying Freddie Benson, and Jennette as Carly’s friend Sam Puckett – were all teenagers, with Miranda being 14 and Jennette being 15. Although they had a strong bond during iCarly’s run until its conclusion in 2012, Miranda has admitted that she hasn’t spoken to Jennette, now aged 33, for quite some time.

The actor from School of Rock stated that he doesn’t get to see her as often these days, but he knows she’s still around and would be there for him if he needed. He hopes she feels the same way. Regardless, he will always be rooting for her success. Interestingly, Miranda complimented Jennette on the achievement of her 2022 memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died, which she penned following her retirement from acting in 2018.

She remarked that it’s fantastic because she found her passion after such a journey. And honestly, I’m delighted for her success.

In her memoir, Jennette shared the intricate journey leading to her fame, and in 2021, Miranda, Nathan, and their former costar Jerry Trainor from the original iCarly series got together for the sitcom’s comeback.

During that particular year, when the trailer for the revival premiered on Paramount+, viewers couldn’t help but notice that Jennette was not part of the cast. Later, it was verified by the author that she had chosen not to reprise her role.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve always admired Miranda for her unwavering respect towards Jennette, even when she wasn’t part of our beloved show throughout its two-year journey. Miranda stood by Jennette’s choice, showing true class and friendship in the process.

In June 2021, Miranda shared with TopMob News that we reached out to her individually, hoping she’d join us, but at the same time, we’re pleased for her because it seems she’s chosen a different path. She’s currently thriving in what she’s doing, and I believe, in a way, we all followed our destiny by letting her go.

JTT, or Jonathan Taylor Thomas, gained popularity by portraying the clever and endearing middle child Randy Taylor on “Home Improvement” from 1991. During that decade, some of his major film roles included providing the voice for young Simba in “The Lion King”, although he didn’t do the singing; sharing the screen with Brad Renfro in “Tom and Huck” in 1995, and teaming up with Devon Sawa in “Wild America” in 1997.

In 1998, he decided to take a break from “Home Improvement” and instead focused on his education (as Randy ventured off to Costa Rica). However, he continued to pursue acting opportunities outside of his regular school activities.

In the year 2004, he played a recurring character on the show titled “8 Simple Rules.” Fast forward to 2013, he reconnected with his TV father, Tim Allen, and worked together as both director and actor in several episodes of “Last Man Standing.

Even though Justin Timberlake stepped away from the limelight to focus on his personal life, which culminated in his graduation from Columbia University in 2010, it’s clear that he doesn’t require a screen presence to create a stir. On those infrequent instances when the paparazzi catch him, those sightings tend to spread rapidly online.

Lipnicki, at just six years old, made quite an impactful film debut that rivaled even Tom Cruise in terms of charm in the movie “Jerry Maguire.” He also received nearly as many memorable lines. After this, he landed roles in the “Stuart Little” movies, voicing Baby Tiger in “Doctor Dolittle,” starring in “The Little Vampire” and “Little Mike,” and even made a guest appearance on “Dawson’s Creek.” However, he took some time off to enjoy a typical high school experience.

As an adult, he’s continued his career in entertainment, appearing in the 2023 Lifetime film titled “Secrets at the Museum”. This Los Angeles native is not only active in show business but also holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In May 2021, he stepped up to offer extra security outside a mid-city synagogue due to an increase in anti-Semitic graffiti and intimidation.

In 2017, Lipnicki openly discussed on Instagram the bullying he faced during his middle school years. Sharing his personal story was aimed at providing solace to others who might be going through similar experiences.

1. “He was mercilessly teased by some children who, presumably, later regretted their actions and attempted to connect with him via Facebook.”

2. “He was told he was a washed-up person with no prospects for landing a job again,” he recollected. He began experiencing nightly anxiety attacks, fearing the next day’s embarrassment. However, he endured, remarking, “I am appreciative of the extraordinary life I have and I wish to share that it DOES get better.”

3. “He was constantly ridiculed by a group of kids who, likely, eventually dismissed their past misdeeds and sought his friendship on Facebook.”

4. “He was branded a failure in the entertainment industry and informed he would never secure employment again,” he reminisced. His evenings were plagued with panic attacks as he prepared for daily humiliation. Still, he persevered, expressing gratitude for his remarkable life and hoping to impart that things DO get better.

5. “He was subjected to persistent bullying by a gang of kids who, it’s possible, later realized their errors and sought reconciliation through Facebook.”

6. “He was told he was past his prime in the business world and would never find work again,” he mused. He battled nightly anxiety attacks, fearing tomorrow’s shame. But he continued to live, expressing gratitude for his exceptional life and wanting to convey that it DOES get better.

Wilson starred in Mrs. Doubtfire at 6 and Matilda at 9 before putting acting on the back burner.

2016 saw the publication of Mara Wilson’s memoir, titled “Where Am I Now?: Anecdotes of Childhood and Unintended Celebrity,” along with appearances on television shows like “Broad City” and lending her voice to several animated series such as “BoJack Horseman,” “Big Hero 6: The Series,” and “Helluva Boss.”

In 2016, Mara Wilson published her memoir “Where Am I Now?: A Journey Through Girlhood and Unexpected Notoriety” while also gracing our screens on shows like “Broad City,” and using her voice in animated productions including “BoJack Horseman,” “Big Hero 6: The Series,” and “Helluva Boss.

In an op-Ed piece for the New York Times published in February 2021, Wilson reflected on a time when someone who had once been a friend asked with a broad grin, “How does it feel to have reached your pinnacle?” At that moment, Wilson admitted he wasn’t sure how to respond, but now he would answer differently. The appropriate question isn’t whether one has peaked, because for him, the narrative is no longer being controlled by someone else. Instead, he has the power to write it himself.

By the time I graced the small screen as Tommy Solomon, an extraterrestrial undercover on “3rd Rock From the Sun” in 1996, I was already a seasoned actor. Interestingly, that same year, I played Demi Moore’s son in the thriller “The Jury.

In 1999, he portrayed the affectionate character with a crush in the movie “10 Things I Hate About You”. Later, in 2004, he took on the role of a shrewd streetwise character in “Mysterious Skin”. And in the 2005 noir drama “Brick”, he starred as a persistent teenage detective investigating the disappearance of his former girlfriend.

Despite appearing youthful even past his twenties, it’s worth noting that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has impressively portrayed a range of adult roles. His notable performances include parts in films such as “500 Days of Summer,” “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” “Inception,” “50/50,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Looper,” “Lincoln,” “Don Jon” (which he also wrote and directed), and “Snowden.”

More recently, Gordon-Levitt delved into historical moments with his role as a prosecutor in the 2020 film “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” and he took on the character of Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick in the TV series “Super Pumped.

He quietly married Tasha McCauley in 2014 and they share three children.

Due to her exceptionally mature acting at the age of 12 in the 1994 film “The Professional,” Portman was recognized with a sense of serious talent early on, and she has continued to meet and even exceed these high expectations ever since. Since making her impressive debut, she’s appeared in numerous blockbuster films such as the Star Wars prequels (Episodes I through III) and Marvel movies like Thor and Avengers: Endgame, indie favorites like Beautiful Girls and Garden State, comedies like Mars Attacks! and Your Highness, intense dramas like Closer and Brothers, and apocalyptic thrillers like V for Vendetta and Annihilation.

Back in 2010, I was absolutely spellbound when Natalie Portman won the Best Actress Oscar for her breathtaking performance as a ballet dancer on the brink in “Black Swan.” The following year, she captivated me yet again with her portrayal of Jacqueline Kennedy in “Jackie,” earning another well-deserved nomination. Then, in 2015, I found myself completely awestruck as she made her directorial debut with the adaptation of Amos Oz’s autobiographical novel, “A Tale of Love and Darkness.

In the year 2012, she tied the knot with her “Black Swan” choreographer, Benjamin Millepied. Together they welcomed a son named Aleph and a daughter called Amalia. Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce which was finalized in 2024.

Jones gained notoriety as the character portrayed as Jon Cryer’s unfortunate divorced son (and Charlie Sheen’s songwriter nephew) in the popular ’00s sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” In 2012, a video emerged online featuring Jones criticizing the show, labeling it “filth.” This recording came from a 15-minute spiritual testimony for Forerunner Chronicles, an Alabama-based Seventh-day Adventist ministry.

Later on, I sincerely regret my actions that may have appeared uncaring, disrespectful, and unappreciative towards my esteemed colleagues, as well as failing to fully acknowledge the remarkable chance I’ve been given. I extend my heartfelt apologies for this oversight.

The actor soon left the series, but returned for the finale in 2015.

Jones, during his final stint as a regular cast member on the CBS sitcom, reportedly earned $350,000 per episode. Speaking to KHOU in Houston, he expressed that the show often joked about serious issues in our society, which he found troubling because he wasn’t comfortable with it, yet he continued to be a part of it, making him, in his words, a “paid hypocrite.

Prior to a 2023 IMDb listing from the series “Bookie,” his last credited acting role was in Louis C.K.’s 2016 limited series, “Horace & Pete.

Jones studied at the University of Colorado in Boulder, describing his life as ordinary, according to an interview with People magazine in 2016. He explained that he used to have quite pessimistic thoughts for a while, but now he’s having fun and appreciating his current situation. He no longer feels like every move he makes is on dangerous ground.

Discussing actors who might have become synonymous with one famous role, Daniel Radcliffe has shown great courage in exploring roles beyond Harry Potter. On stage, he’s taken on dramatic parts like those in Equus and The Cripple of Inishmaan, as well as the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. On screen, he’s portrayed Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, played a flatulent corpse in Swiss Army Man, and depicted an opioid-addicted physician on TV in A Young Doctor’s Notebook.

Lately, he concluded a four-season stint on “Miracle Workers”, starred as the main character in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” and made a comeback to Broadway with “Merrily We Roll Along”.

On a personal note, Radcliffe is dad to a son with longtime partner Erin Darke.

At approximately 6 years old, she first appeared on stage in the spin-off series of the Andy Griffith Show, titled Mayberry R.F.D.. This was followed by her first Oscar nomination at the age of 14 for her compelling portrayal of a victimized girl in the movie Taxi Driver, her harrowing situation serving as the catalyst for the brutal actions taken by Robert De Niro‘s character, Travis Bickle. In the same year, 1976, Foster showcased a complete shift in tone with her role in the original Freaky Friday, a drastic contrast to Taxi Driver, which established her as a widely recognized child star in mainstream films.

After completing her rigorous studies, the dedicated student temporarily paused her education to enroll at Yale. Upon returning, she continued her upward trajectory and was awarded her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, portraying a rape victim who pursues justice against her assailants in the 1988 film “The Accused.” In 1991, Jodie Foster made her debut as a feature film director with “Little Man Tate,” and just a year later, she clinched another Oscar for her compelling portrayal of an ambitious FBI recruit in “The Silence of the Lambs.

The renowned actress-cum-filmmaker received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 2013 Golden Globes ceremony. In recent years, she has taken on more directing roles in television series such as “House of Cards,” “Black Mirror,” and “Orange Is the New Black.” Notable cinematic projects of hers in the 21st century include “Panic Room,” “Inside Man,” “Elysium,” “Hotel Artemis,” and “The Mauritanian,” for which she won an unexpected Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in 2021.

In the real world, she has two sons from her previous relationship with Cydney Bernard, and she tied the knot with photographer and filmmaker Alexandra Hedison in 2014.

It was only fitting that veteran child actress Jodie Foster acted as a guide for Kristen Stewart when they portrayed mother and daughter in David Fincher’s 2002 thriller, “Panic Room.” Much like her mentor, Stewart has navigated a complex relationship with celebrity, but on an unprecedented scale after landing the groundbreaking, life-altering role of Bella Swan in the “Twilight” series at around age 16, thanks to the internet’s influence.

In an interview with Stellar magazine in 2019, Stewart recalled Foster doubting that he’d continue acting due to his non-showy personality rather than lack of talent,” Stewart said. Stewart explained, “I appreciate my job and still do, but I can see why she might have thought I wouldn’t last as a young actor. I hold her in high regard.

Despite ending her five-movie stint in the Twilight saga, the actress and Chanel muse has had no difficulty securing roles. Apart from reviving the Charlie’s Angels franchise in 2019, she has chosen to star in more personal films such as The Clouds of Sils Maria, which earned her a Cesar Award (the French equivalent of an Oscar), Personal Shopper, and movies like Seberg and Spencer that aren’t quite biopics.

Following the conclusion of my often-discussed romance with Robert Pattinson, I found myself predominantly pursuing relationships with women. In the year 2025, I was fortunate enough to marry Dylan Meyer.

Prior to mysteriously eradicating half of Earth’s population, the son of actor James Brolin made his acting debut by portraying the laid-back yet protective and affectionate big brother Brandon Walsh in the 1985 film “The Goonies.

Brolin subsequently starred in numerous films, such as “Flirting With Disaster,” “Mimic,” “No Country for Old Men” (which won an Academy Award for Best Picture and significantly boosted his career), “American Gangster,” “W.” where he portrayed 43rd President George W. Bush, “Milk” (for which he earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dan White, the San Francisco councilman who assassinated city official and gay rights activist Harvey Milk), “Jonah Hex,” “True Grit,” “Sicario,” “Deadpool 2,” and naturally, “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame,” with computer-generated imagery transforming him into supervillain Thanos. Additionally, he appeared in the sci-fi epic “Dune,” both parts one and the forthcoming second part.

In my personal journey, I was previously married to Alice Adair, and from that union, we were blessed with two wonderful children. Afterwards, I tied the knot with Diane Lane in 2004, a partnership that lasted until 2013. Fast forward to 2016, when I found my current love, Kathryn Boyd, and together, we became parents to Westlyn Reign Brolin in 2018. And just recently, in December 2020, we added another precious daughter, Chapel Grace Brolin, to our family.

At just ten years old, she first appeared in films alongside Cher and Winona Ryder, notably in “Mermaids” (1990) and “The Addams Family” (1991), where Winona Ryder portrayed the gloomy Wednesday Addams character.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, stepping back in time, I can’t help but reminisce about some truly iconic ’90s moments that were brought to life by none other than the remarkable actress Christina Ricci. Before diving into her career of portraying intricate characters, she graced our screens with charm in timeless classics like Casper and Now and Then.

Later on, she showcased her versatility by tackling complex roles in a string of movies such as The Opposite of Sex, Buffalo ’66, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sleepy Hollow, Prozac Nation, Pumpkin, and Monster. In the latter film, she had the distinct honor of portraying the girlfriend of the enigmatic serial killer Aileen Wuornos, brilliantly played by Charlize Theron, who won an Oscar for her performance in that role.

For the past 30 years, Ricci’s activities have mostly been adventurous. This includes portraying a stylish ’60s flight attendant in the brief-lived series “Pan Am,” being confined to a radiator in “Black Snake Moan,” and playing intriguing real-life women like ax murderer Lizzie Borden in “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles” and author and literary inspiration Zelda Fitzgerald in “Z: The Beginning of Everything.

Ricci is the mother of her son, Freddie, with her former partner James Heerdegen, and her daughter Cleopatra with her spouse Mark Hampton.

In the month of December, 2021, the star of the TV series “Yellowjackets” had a daughter named Cleopatra with her husband Mark Hampton, who she married in October of the same year.

Macaulay Culkin solidified his iconic stature at just 10 years old, during the filming of Home Alone, but he had been honing his craft since around age 5, appearing in TV movies, Uncle Buck, Jacob’s Ladder, and others. He took a nearly decade-long break from acting after 1994’s Richie Rich, but the musician and painter has continued to dip in and out of the acting world as he pleases, primarily focusing on smaller films with significant cultural impacts like Party Monster and Saved.

Following his appearances on Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” and portraying a barista version of himself on “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, Macaulay Culkin is expected to feature in the 10th season of “American Horror Story,” set to air in 2021, assuming all pandemic-related precautions are addressed.

The actor is currently partnered with Brenda Song and they have two children together: Dakota Song Culkin (named in honor of Culkin’s late older sister Dakota) and Carson, who first appeared in public at his father’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on December 1st, 2023 when he was 12 months old.

In my expert opinion, it’s quite fascinating to observe the transformative journey of Dakota. From portraying Ally McBeal’s 5-year-old self and Sean Penn’s 6-year-old daughter in “I Am Sam” to setting the stage as the groundbreaking first female employee of the New York Police Department turned private detective in the period drama “The Alienist,” it might appear as if she made this leap overnight. However, a closer look reveals that this remarkable progression was the result of her consistent hard work and dedication, not an instant transition.

Instead of saying she’s been working tirelessly for over 20 years, consider rephrasing it as: She has diligently worked for more than two decades, delivering standout performances in films like Uptown Girls, Man on Fire, Hide and Seek, War of the Worlds, Charlotte’s Web, The Secret Life of Bees, three Twilight movies, American Pastoral, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, portraying real-life Charles Manson follower Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme.

Apart from appearing alongside her younger sibling Elle Fanning in the movie “The Nightingale”, she also received a nomination for a Golden Globe award in the year 2025, recognizing her portrayal of Marge Sherwood in the Netflix miniseries titled “Ripley”.

Initially, she made her debut by portraying the role of “Lucy 2 years,” a younger iteration of Dakota’s character in the movie “I Am Sam.” However, since then, this Fanning sister has forged her unique path in acting and style, setting herself apart from her equally successful sibling.

She gathered typical roles as the child of well-known actors in various movies such as “Daddy Day Care”, “The Door in the Floor”, “Babel”, and “Reservation Road”. Additionally, she made guest appearances on numerous episodes of “CSI” franchises, “Criminal Minds”, “House”, “Law & Order: SVU”, among others. It’s likely that she was too young to watch these programs when they were aired. However, as she grew older into her teen years and twenties, her film work diversified across genres. This included family-oriented movies like “We Bought a Zoo” and “Maleficent”, young adult productions such as “Super 8” and “Twixt”, prestigious dramas like “Trumbo” and “20th Century Women”, and surreal fantasies like “The Neon Demon” and “The Beguiled”.

In addition, she’s portrayed Mary Shelley in a movie with the same title and Catherine the Great in the Hulu satirical series titled “The Great“.

Over time, the actress and singer who gained fame from her role on Disney Channel’s “Lizzie McGuire” has gotten older. After her breakout performance, she transitioned smoothly into roles suitable for families, including “Agent Cody Banks,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” and “A Cinderella Story.

After a period without much significant work, Duff has shone once more in the TV Land series Younger, portraying a complex character who is a colleague to Sutton Foster’s character, a 40-year-old pretending to be a millennial. This show, highly praised by critics, will air its seventh season soon. While a spin-off featuring Duff’s character Kelsey from Younger sounds promising, many original fans were eager for her reprisal of the role of Lizzie in a planned Disney+ reboot. However, the revival of this beloved series has been postponed.

She has since starred in two seasons of  How I Met Your Father.

Duff and former hockey player Mike Comrie, the father of their son Luca Comrie, parted ways in 2014 following almost four years of marriage and eventually divorced. Later on, she had a daughter named Banks Violet Bair with songwriter Matthew Koma in 2018, and they got married in 2019. In the year 2021, they added another baby girl, Mae James Bair, to their family, while Townes Meadow Bair completed their brood in May 2024.

The younger sibling of the actor from ‘Growing Pains’, Kirk Cameron, gained fame as a trendsetter for schoolgirl hairstyles with her crimped hair character, D.J., who played the eldest Tanner sister on ‘Full House’ television series that aired from 1987 to 1995.

She has appeared in a succession of TV films, some carrying profound messages, like the 1996 production No One Would Tell, which was inspired by a real-life event – a high school student who was brutally murdered by her 16-year-old boyfriend, following months of silent endurance of his abuse. (We’re still deeply affected by this tragic story.)

Lately, following her stint as a co-host for two seasons on “The View,” and rejoining almost the entire Tanner family for five seasons of “Fuller House” on Netflix, Candace has risen to prominence in the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas specials and is also the leading actress in their Aurora Teagarden murder-mystery series, which is based on novels by Charlaine Harris.

In the year 2021, she marked a significant milestone of completing 25 years in matrimony with her ex-NHL athlete husband, Valeri Bure, and together they share three beautiful children.

For eight seasons, Stephanie Tanner, the middle sister on the popular show “Full House,” was portrayed by Jodie Sweetin. However, after the series ended, Sweetin faced battles with substance abuse that she openly discussed in her 2009 memoir titled “unSweetined.

From 2002 to 2016, three marriages contributed to the media buzz, along with her short-lived engagement to Justin Hodak. Hodak, who had multiple problems, eventually breached a restraining order that she had against him in 2019. As a result, he was sentenced to over six years in prison for illegal possession of a lethal weapon and fabricating evidence.

Since 2008, the mother of daughters Zoie and Beatrix has remained sober. For five seasons, she reappeared with the Tanner family in Netflix’s Fuller House series. Additionally, she has acted in several movies on the Hallmark Channel, such as the Christmas movie Merry and Bright (2019) and romantic comedy Just Swipe.

Two actors portrayed Michelle Tanner on the iconic ABC sitcom Full House, transforming from an innocent infant to a quick-witted 6-year-old. After their stint on the show, the identical twins leveraged their fame into a string of feature films and direct-to-video projects, as well as founding a production company, children’s clothing lines, books, and various other products – thereby creating a thriving Olsen business empire.

After 2004’s “New York Minute”, Mary-Kate continued her acting career, joining the cast of “Weeds” for a season and starring in films like “The Wackness” and “Beastly”. In contrast, Ashley largely stepped away from acting, and currently, both sisters are primarily known as fashion industry titans, co-founding the CFDA Award-winning labels The Row and Elizabeth & James.

In 2023, Ashley gave birth to her first child with spouse Louis Eisner in a quiet manner. Mary-Kate tied the knot with Olivier Sarkozy back in 2015 but chose to file for divorce in 2020.

Ashley had her first baby with husband Louis Eisner in 2023 quietly. Mary-Kate got married to Olivier Sarkozy in 2015 and decided to end their marriage by filing for divorce in 2020.

Before achieving fame as a movie star, receiving an Oscar for The Revenant, dating high-profile models, and living the lavish yacht life, he was originally Luke, a homeless teenager who moved in with the Seaver family on Growing Pains in 1991. Known for his youthful appearance that made him seem even younger than his actual age (he was already 16 on Growing Pains and had been acting for several years), Leonardo DiCaprio earned his first of six Oscar nominations for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. He portrayed a succession of troubled youth characters in A Boy’s Life, The Basketball Diaries, Marvin’s Room, and, although love-troubled rather than truly troubled, Romeo + Juliet.

He still kinda looked like a kid in Titanic, but at 22 he had reached full-on heartthrob status.

For the past ten years, Leonardo DiCaprio has appeared in movies like “Inception”, “The Wolf of Wall Street”, “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood”, “The Revenant” (winning his first Best Actor Academy Award), and “Killers of the Flower Moon”.

Accio, adulthood!

After making a remarkable debut as Hermione Granger in eight Harry Potter films, the English actress transitioned into young adult literature roles like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Bling Ring. She also worked alongside Tom Hanks in The Circle, and has utilized her public profile as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador to promote women’s empowerment and advocate for global gender equality.

Originally from New Mexico, the young actor struck gold during his first attempt, receiving a Golden Globe nomination at 15 for his initial role as a moody boy who develops a bond with their household help in the 1988 television movie titled “Clara’s Heart.” However, the future star of the medical dramedy “Doogie Howser, M.D.” could have faced difficulties, given that he portrayed a 16-year-old prodigious doctor. But in an amusing twist, the actor seemed to embrace potential setbacks by playfully mocking himself in the film “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Despite a period of inactivity due to taking a break from his hectic youth in Hollywood, he immersed himself in theater, performing in three Broadway shows among other productions. Eventually, the perfect television opportunity came along in the form of Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother, for which he received four Emmy nominations. In 2010, he was nominated for three Emmys and took home two awards, one for co-producing the 2009 Tonys and another for his guest appearance on Glee.

After a break due to overworking in Hollywood, he focused on theater and did three Broadway shows. Then, he landed the role of Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother, getting four Emmy nominations. In 2010, he received three more Emmy nominations and won two for co-producing the 2009 Tonys and appearing on Glee.

The versatile performer who excels in acting, singing, dancing, and magic has now hosted the Tonys on four occasions (winning an Emmy every time as a producer in the special class programming category), and he’s also claimed two Emmys and one Oscar – specifically in 2015. Additionally, he was awarded a Tony in 2014 for Best Actor in a Musical, starring in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

In 2010, Harris and his long-term companion David Burtka became parents to twins Gideon and Harper through surrogacy. They eventually got married in 2014.

As a four-year-old, I was unbelievably adorable, stealing the spotlight as Olivia on “The Cosby Show.” Following that, I graced movie screens in films like “The Little Rascals,” “Doctor Dolittle” and its sequel. Then, in 2003, I found my own place in fans’ hearts with the beloved Disney Channel sitcom, “That’s So Raven.” During this time, I also made appearances on various other Disney productions such as “The Cheetah Girls,” “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” “Kim Possible” and “Sonny With a Chance.

Following the conclusion of her show in 2007, Raven-Symoné ventured into television with roles in shows like “American Dad”, “Nashville”, “State of Georgia”, “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, “Master of None”, and “Drunk History”. She also had a recurring role on “Black-ish”. Additionally, she spent three seasons as a co-host on “The View”. In June 2020, Raven-Symoné got married to Miranda Maday.
