Marla Sokoloff

Biography: A pretty and pert player best known for her small-screen work, Sokoloff cut her teeth in California theater as a child before landing recurring roles on Full House as a goody two-shoes and Party of Five as an out-of-control adolescent. She graduated to adult roles in 1998, when she joined the cast of The Practice as the law firm's pouty secretary for a high-profile five-year run, until she (along with most of the cast) was infamously let go. During her tenure on that series, Sokoloff also tackled a handful of big-screen parts, usually in teen-oriented comedies, and snagged her Whatever It Takes costar James Franco as a boyfriend. In addition to acting, she is an accomplished singer-songwriter and released her debut album, Grateful, in 2006. Since then, Sokoloff has starred in ABC's short-lived Britcom adaptation Big Day, as well as several TV movies, and put in guest appearances on the popular cable series Burn Notice and Drop Dead Diva.
