Actor/Actress of the Week!

by

I thought I’d take some time each week to recognize one actor or actress who came along and stole the show on the latest episode. This week, it’s Rachel Fox. She’s the adorable girl who pays Kayla, the latest addition to the Scavo house. While there were some great scenes and performances this week, I really feel like the Scavo plot made this episode, and she was at the heart of it. Rachel’s doing a great job of playing a messed up and very creepy kid. When she calmly smiled at Lynette as they were leaving to take Parker to the hospital, I got chills. Her expression perfectly showed what Kayla obviously was thinking when she came up with the whole umbrella idea: Keep messing with me. You see what I can do when you’re not looking?

Rachel is only 11, but she’s already got a nice resume built up. She’s made guest appearances on several Disney shows, including Hannah Montana and That’s So Raven. In addition, she played a young Sydney on Alias and did some voice-over work. If that wasn’t enough, her official site’s resume also lists some theatre credits to her name. Not bad for someone not even out of junior high. I’m thinking that if she keeps her head on straight, she’s got a long career ahead of her.

So what does everyone else think? Feel like another character stole the show? Tell me about it! Well, there you have it: my first “Actor/Actress of the Week”. I’ll be back either later today or tomorrow with news and other cool stuff. See ya then!
