Brittany Snow

BRITTANY SNOW is one of the brightest and most engaging acting talents to emerge in recent years. She appeared in films Syrup, starring Kellan Lutz and Amber Heard; the thriller Would You Rather, for which she also took on the role of executive producer; and Petunia, starring Thora Birch.

Snow played the lead role in the indie suspense thriller 96 Minutes. She also starred with Abigail Breslin in the film Janie Jones, as well as the Film Independent Spirit Award-nominated feature The Vicious Kind, which premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009. Prior to that, Snow starred in the box-office hit Prom Night and the well-received independent film Finding Amanda, opposite Matthew Broderick. Snow's other notable film credits include New Line Cinema's Hairspray, in which she played Amber Von Tussle, the daughter of Michelle Pfeiffer's character, Velma Von Tussle; 20 th Century Fox's John Tucker Must Die, in which she played her first leading film role; and Disney's box-office hit The Pacifier, which she starred opposite Vin Diesel in her big-screen debut. Snow has also starred on NBC's dramedy Harry's Law, opposite Kathy Bates, and appeared in a recurring role as Matt's neo-Nazigirlfriend on FX's hit original series Nip/Tuck.

A native of Tampa, Florida, Snow began her acting career appearing in and lending her voice to numerous national commercials. She also starred in theater productions, including a national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Snow made the transition to television when she landed a starring role on the long-running daytime drama Guiding Light. She commuted on the weekends from Florida to New York City, where the show was taped. Her additional television credits include Safe Harbor, SeaQuest 2032 and the pilot Murphy's Dozen. Her next project was the NBC series American Dreams. Snow played Meg Pryor, a teen living in the '60s who struggled to find balance between her family's strict upbringing and her own desires as a young woman.

In September 2010, Snow co-founded the movement Love Is Louder, in association with MTV and The Jed Foundation, to build on the outpouring of online support after the lives of multiple teenagers were lost to suicide that same month. Having already impacted the lives of millions, this movement invites anyone who has ever felt mistreated, misunderstood or isolated into the conversation.
