TV fans will recognise Emily, 29, for her many roles, and one of her first was when she was just seven years old!
In 1999, she appeared opposite Hollywood icon Glenn Close in the film Sarah, Plain and Tall: Winter's End, which afforded her a nomination for a Young Artist Award.
Not long after, she had small roles in popular TV shows such as 3rd Rock from the Sun, Touched by an Angel and Friends, the latter of which saw her play Lelani Mayolanofavich in season seven in a scene with Jennifer Aniston's Rachel. She also appeared in two of the Spy Kids films.

However, Emily's big break came in 2005 aged 13 when she landed the role of Lilly Truscott in Disney Channel's hugely popular show, Hannah Montana, alongside Miley Cyrus. She appeared in the series for over five years and also starred in the 2009 spin-off movie. Emily's other credits include: Mom, Young & Hungry, Christmas Wonderland and Family Guy.

And now, you can catch her as Chelsea in Pretty Smart. The synopsis reads: "After getting unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend, Chelsea – a high-brow, Harvard-educated intellectual and aspiring novelist – is forced to move in with her bubbly, carefree, not-so-intellectual West Coast sister, Claire (Olivia Macklin), and her three lovably eccentric, not-so-intellectual roommates.
"But Chelsea's tough, sometimes judgemental exterior starts to soften as she gets to know her new friends, and they begin to form an unlikely found family."
