Atticus Ronald Shaffer resides in, and is a native of, California. Being home-schooled as a child, Atticus was exposed to a myriad of mediums and genres of art by his mother, ranging from extensive museum exhibits to discovering the joy of reading storybooks out loud in character voices. When he was 7, after completing a year long run of fund-raising work for Shriner's Hospital in Los Angeles, information for a talent manager was found, who he went to meet about potentially signing on for voice over work. His mother thought he had a cute voice, and thought he could potentially be a book on tape reader, or cartoon character.

After meeting with the manager, who wanted to sign Atticus on for both theatrical and voice over work, his career snowballed, as he quickly landed multiple theatrical TV, commercial, and movie roles in succession. Not the least of which was his role in the original pilot for ABC's The Middle, which he would be invited back to reprise two years later.

Atticus is an unapologetic nerd, and enjoys his time when he is not working writing, reading, watching good TV shows/movies, listening to his favorite music, gaming, studying topics of interest, and learning to speak Polish, his ancestral language. He has also developed a couple of side careers; one centered on gaming on the live stream platform Twitch, the other of content creation for his channel on YouTube, AtticusShafferVlog.

Since the ripe 'old' age of two, Jamia has been singing with incredible conviction and building a notable career as a successful multi-hyphenate -- singer, stage performer and actor -- rivaling pros with many more years of experience under their belts.

Jamia owned the stage on February 24, 2008, at the 80th Annual Academy Awards® ceremony when she performed the Oscar-nominated original song "Raise It Up" from the Warner Brothers' feature "August Rush," a movie for which she received critical acclaim in her feature film debut as "Hope."

Her inspiring lead performance of "Raise It Up" with the Impact Repertory Theater of Harlem not only won Jamia rave reviews, but also secured her place in the history books as the youngest African-American to perform on the prestigious worldwide telecast to date.

Ashlie was born in San Francisco and raised in Long Beach, and inherited the laid-back and down-to-earth Southern California attitude. At an extremely young age, her mother noticed the passion and excitement Ashlie had for performing and got her feet wet by introducing her to the world of modeling. She landed her first modeling job at the age of three and continued to model in many print ads, fashion shows and was a regular in Kmart's national advertising campaigns. At the age of six, Ashlie decided she no longer enjoyed, "having her hair curled" and desired something more interactive, so she began acting classes at the Beverly Hills Acting School.

With great support of her mother and father, Ashlie continued her pursuit in the performing arena with countless dance, singing and acting classes. She aced her first ever television audition, leading her to a co-starring role on the new Disney show Lizzie McGuire (2001). As Lizzie's ex-best friend, Ashlie's character is the popular, pretty and utterly snobby junior high student we all love to hate. Another testament to her acting ability is the fact she can portray this character's attributes with great sincerity, while they are so opposite of her generous spirit and kind soul.

Following the momentous success of the television show, Disney created The Lizzie McGuire Movie. Ashlie jumped at the chance of filming a movie, packed her bags, and traveled to both Canada and Rome for the filming. She relished in the opportunity to improve and diversify her acting skills on this new adventure. She counts the experience of working on her first feature film and working abroad, as one of the best experiences in her life so far.
