Joey King kicked off her acting career at four, snagging her first gig in a Life Cereal commercial—classic child star move. Apparently, the drama bug runs in her family; her grandma used to be a theater queen back in the day. Fast forward a bit, and Joey’s popping up everywhere: CSI, Entourage, Medium, you name it. She’s even done a whole bunch of pilots and had a regular spot on “Bent,” where she claims Jeffrey Tambor kept her in stitches every day. She’s not just about the on-camera stuff, either. Joey’s got some serious voice-acting chops. Remember that fuzzy yellow critter Katie in Horton Hears a Who!? Yep, her. She’s also lent her voice to characters in Ice Age and The Boxcar Children, plus she played China Girl in Oz the Great and Powerful—yeah, the prequel to the legendary Wizard of Oz. Joey thinks it’s wild to hear her own voice come out of these animated creatures. Can’t blame her. Her first movie role? Grace, when she was all of six. Had to fake drowning on day one—in freezing water, no less. After that, she was totally hooked. By nine, she landed her first lead in Ramona and Beezus, a role she still gushes about and credits for changing her life. She’s been lucky enough to work with some heavyweight directors—Nolan, Raimi, Emmerich—each one leaving their mark. Off-screen, Joey’s super into charity, helping out with Meals on Wheels with her grandma and spreading good vibes at schools. Critics dig her, too. She really does seem to be living her best life, and she knows it.
A little nugget for all the horror fans—Jennifer Carpenter actually did her own stunts in Quarantine (2008), and honestly, that just cranks up the respect level. That movie isn’t some walk in the park, either. It’s a claustrophobic, found-footage nightmare where she’s running, screaming, and getting thrown around in all sorts of gnarly ways. The story follows a late-night TV reporter and her cameraman, who get stuck inside an apartment building after a mysterious infection breaks out. Authorities lock everyone in, and chaos erupts fast. You’ve got infected tenants, zero escape routes, and some seriously creepy moments that’ll make you double-check your locks at night. The whole thing is shot in this shaky, handheld style that makes you feel like you’re right there, trying not to freak out. With Carpenter doing her own stunts? That whole frantic energy just hits harder. Not your average zombie movie—it’s more brutal, more real, and way more intense.
So, there’s this guy who’s caught between two worlds—half Jewish, half Christian, but if you pressed him, he’d say he leans way more Jewish. His family’s a wild mix, bouncing between holidays, traditions, and all the weird little rituals that come with both backgrounds. He’s got a mom lighting Hanukkah candles and a dad who’s all about Christmas trees, so, yeah, his December is pretty much chaos. He’s trying to figure out where he actually fits in, if anywhere. Awkward family dinners, identity crises, and honestly, a lot of funny moments where he’s just totally lost—like, is he supposed to eat the ham, or is that a sin? The story’s really about him juggling expectations, trying to make sense of faith, and finding his own way without ticking off either side of the family. It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s got a lot of heart.
