Jennette McCurdy: The Next Queen of Comedy?
While she plays the sidekick right now, Jennette McCurdy appears to have the chops to be a Lucille Ball someday. Her wisecracking Sam on iCarly - the new hit TV show from Nickelodeon - draws some of the biggest laughs thanks to her comic timing and facial expressions.
But she got her start in dramatic roles and has the chops for those as well. In fact, she was nominated for a Young Artist Award in 2005 for her guest role in Strong Medicine.

Jennette has added a phone number to her MySpace page. You can call now and leave her a message, which she says she's checking. Hmmm.New clips on Jennette's YouTube channel includes some backstage stuff at the Teen Vogue awards and hanging with Noah (Gibby on iCarly).
Has recently been on the set working on a new movie called Minor Details. She plays Mia, who is one of the girls suspected of making the others sick at an upscale boarding school. Trailer has been released and I have it below.
Jennette loves playing board games such as Monopoly, Clue, Moods and Life.

Jennette McCurdy: Before iCarly
Drama or Comedy?
Jennette got her start in some fairly dramatic roles, but her casting as Sam has proven to be pure genius. She has awesome timing and great facial expressions, not to mention the physicality.
What type of role would you rather see Jennette in?

She is awesome on iCarly and has great expressions, not to mention comebacks. She's a great actor so she could play in anything but comedy seems to fit her.
