A TV star with Broadway and animation voice work experience, Lacey Chabert finally made her movie debut on-camera in the big screen version of
Lost in Space (1998). Born in Purvis, Mississippi, Lacey began performing as a small child, learning how to play the violin and piano as well as sing and act. After playing the young Cosette in the Broadway production of Les Miserables for two years and appearing on the TV daytime serial All My Children, Lacey became a prime-time star playing one of the beleaguered Salinger family members on the Fox drama
Party of Five (1995-2000). As the precocious youngest daughter Claudia, Lacey aged from child violin prodigy to grounded, if occasionally confused, teen before the show ended its run. While working on Party of Five, Lacey lent her voice to the animated movies
Anastasia (1997) and
An American Tail III: Treasure of Manhattan Island (1998). Lacey gained further notice as difficult daughter Penny Robinson in the big-screen Lost In Space. She continued to do frequent voice work
(The Wild Thornberries Movie (2002) and
Rugrats Go Wild! (2003)), as well as showing her face again in
Not Another Teen Movie and
Hometown Legend (both 2001). In 2003 she starred in
Daddy Day Care and then when on to play Gretchen in the 2004 comedy
Mean Girls. Most recently, Lacey starred in and received accolades for her portrayal of a young girl struggling to cope with paralysis in
The Brooke Ellison Story. The film was directed by Christopher Reeves and was the last project before he passed away.

TV teen heartthrob Andrew Keegan was born in Los Angeles, CA, on January 29, 1979. Andrew's career before the camera began before he was even out of diapers, when his parents got him work as a model for a series of magazine ads for Gerber baby foods. Andrew continued to work in commercials as a child, and by the time he was 12, he began making guests shots in episodic television, scoring small roles on Empty Nest, Baywatch, and Full House. Andrew made his motion picture debut in 1994, in the comedy
Camp Nowhere, and the same year he was cast in a recurring role on the short-lived television series Thunder Alley. In 1997, Andrew earned his first brush with fame as Wilson West, a teenage father who catches the eye of Mary (played by

7th Heaven. Keegan's performance clicked with younger viewers, and he was soon cast on the show
Party of Five as hunky football player Reed Isley, who became the love interest for Claudia
(Lacey Chabert). Keegan's success on television led to several higher-profile film roles, including
Ten Things I Hate About You,
O, and
