After being discovered at age three, she appeared in television commercials and advertisements until her big break came in 2002. That’s when she landed the role of Megan, the annoying younger sister in Drake & Josh. Meanwhile, she also performed in her first big-screen production, The School of Rock, with comedian Jack Black. Since then, Miranda has become a popular figure on Nickelodeon. After Drake & Josh, she starred in her own television show, iCarly. But Miranda isn’t just an actress.
