Danielle Nicole Panabaker (born September 19, 1987) is an American actress. She is best known for her roles in the Disney Channel films Stuck in the Suburbs (2004) and Read It and Weep (2006), along with her younger sister Kay Panabaker. She came to prominence as a cast member alongside James Woods in the CBS legal drama series Shark (2006–2008) and is also noted as a Scream Queen, having starred in the horror films Friday the 13th (2009), The Crazies and John Carpenter's The Ward (both 2010) and Piranha 3DD (2012). Her other films include Sky High (2005) and Mr. Brooks (2007). In April 2014, Panabaker guest-starred as Caitlin Snow on The CW television series Arrow, and will reprise her role as one of the main characters in the spin-off The Flash, which will premiere in the fall of the same year.[1][2]

Early life

Panabaker was born in Augusta, Georgia,[3] to Donna (née Mayock) and Harold Panabaker.[4] Her younger sister Kay is also an actress. Panabaker moved for a short time to Orange, Texas, around her kindergarten year. She took a theater class at a summer camp and discovered her enjoyment in acting, so she started acting in community theaters at the age of 12, later auditioning for commercials. After moving to Naperville, Illinois, Panabaker went to Crone Middle School and later Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville and participated in the speech team. She graduated from high school as valedictorian when she was only 14 years old.[5][6] Later, feeling it was the only way to land acting roles regularly, Panabaker relocated to Los Angeles, California, to pursue an acting career, attending Glendale Community College to study acting. In 2005, she earned her associate degree and appeared on the National Dean's List. In the fall of 2006, she began her senior year at the University of California, Los Angeles, from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in June 2007, again appearing on the Dean's List.[6]

Career

Panabaker followed her initial appearances in commercials with roles in television, including a part in the series, The Guardian (for which she won a Young Artist Award), as well as other television series including Malcolm in the Middle, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Medium, Summerland, and the Disney Channel Original Movie Stuck in the Suburbs. She also appeared in the Lifetime Television productions Sex and the Single Mom and Mom at Sixteen, as well as the well-reviewed miniseries Empire Falls. In addition, Panabaker appeared in stage productions with roles in musical theater, including West Side Story, Pippin, Once Upon A Time, and Beauty Lou and the Country Beast. In 2004, she starred in the ABC film "Searching for David's Heart", alongside co-former Disney star Ricky Ullman. In 2005, Panabaker co-starred in two widely released theatrical films, Sky High and Yours, Mine and Ours. Her next role was in the film Home of the Giants (2008), opposite Ryan Merriman and Haley Joel Osment. She also had a supporting role in the film Mr. Brooks opposite Kevin Costner. In the Disney Channel original movie Read It and Weep, she plays "Is", an alternate version of Jamie, who was played by her real-life sister Kay.

Panabaker was added to the cast of the CBS television drama pilot Shark, as "Julie Stark", the main character's daughter. She had a regular role in the series, which ran for two years. Although she sometimes only appeared in a scene or two an episode, and was absent from three episodes in the series run, she was billed second to the star, James Woods.[7]

In 2009, Panabaker played Jenna, a main character of Friday the 13th (2009) along with Jared Padalecki.[8] Panabaker next starred in the films The Crazies and The Ward.[9]

In 2011, Panabaker starred as Katie Lapp, the lead character in the Hallmark Movie The Shunning, based on the novel of the same name by Beverly Lewis. She was due to reprise her role in the 2013 sequel The Confession,[10] but a scheduling conflict forced her to drop out. The role was recast, going to Katie Leclerc.[11]

In 2013, she starred in another Hallmark Channel Original Movie entitled "Nearlyweds". On May 5, 2013, Panabaker joined actors including Philip Baker Hall, Bill Pullman and Maggie Siff in performing at Cedering Fox's WordTheatre, where they read aloud contemporary short fiction.[12]
