Biography:
Jillian is a native of Big Bear Lake, California. She started her acting career early with an appearance on Unsolved Mysteries at just 16 days old! Happily, the abducted infant she portrayed was found as a result of the show.
Since that time, Jillian has been a busy actress. She has voiced multiple roles in animated projects for Disney including the Lilo and Stitch franchise (playing the role of Lilo's friend Elena as well as other roles) and Mulan II (as Sha-Ron). She is an expert at dialects and voices radio commercials for a variety of companies including McDonalds, Universal Studios and Jiffy Lube. She also enjoys getting out of the booth to do live theater: she has recently performed lead roles in Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Lucy), and in A Christmas Carol (Young Scrooge).
On camera, Jillian is often cast as the "smart girl". She can be seen guest starring in "My Wife and Kids" (ABC), "What I Like About You" (WB), "Six Feet Under" and "Carnivale" (HBO). Most recently, she starred with Rob Schnieder, David Spade and Jon Heder as technology geek Gretchen in the feature film, "The Benchwarmers".
When not working, Jillian attends public school (she's a straight A student and in the GATE program) and enjoys playing softball on a local team. She lives with her parents and her two older brothers. She has a Bengal cat, a gift from a fellow actress Jasmine Anthony. She enjoys drawing, reading and writing stories.
Jillian was the recipient of a CARE Award (Child Actor Recognition Event) in both 2005 and 2006. Those awards are given annually at Universal Studios Hollywood and honor young performers for their professional work in conjunction with academics and community service. She is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
