Erin Sanders on "Zoey 101" Erin Sanders on "Zoey 101" Erin Sanders Erin Sanders Erin Sanders Erin Sanders Erin Sanders Pictures Erin Sanders stars as Quinn Pensky in Nickelodeon's comedy series "Zoey 101." Quinn is brilliant in a mad scientist kind of way. Her room doubles as a science lab and her extracurricular activities include inventing contraptions (aka "Quinnventions") and then testing them out on unsuspecting classmates. You could say that Quinn puts the "Q" in quirky, because you never know what she'll come up with next. Sure Quinn's a little different from her classmates, but she prefers it that way... Erin Sanders won a 2008 Young Artist Award for her role as Quinn and, along with her fellow cast members, won the 2006 and 2007 Young Artist Awards for Best Ensemble Performance in a TV Show. What you may not know is that Erin Sanders was discovered by an agent while selling Girl Scout cookies! "I had just turned 9," Erin Sanders shares, "when, accompanied by my mom, I knocked on this guy's door. After I rattled off all the names and descriptions of the cookies by heart, he said that he was impressed with the way I spoke, and that his friend ran an agency. He gave my mom his card, and the rest is history." Erin Sanders recently introduced the character of Eden in the popular CBS daytime soap, "The Young and the Restless." For this, Erin Sanders won a 2009 Young Artist Award for Best Recurring Actress in a TV Series.Erin Sanders has also appeared in a number of commercials, and in several other TV shows, such as "8 Simple Rules," "Judging Amy," "Carnivale," "American Dreams," and "Strong Medicine." Erin Sanders says, "On 'Carnivale,' I was playing the younger version of Amy Madigan, which meant I had to look like her. So, I had to have blue eyes, red hair, and freckles. I wore blue contacts, and the hair stylist put stuff in my hair to make it red. The make-up artist painted freckles all over my face and arms. It tickled! I also had to have a Russian accent, and actually speak Russian, neither of which I do. So, they had a dialect coach come to the set and tutor me in Russian! But, don't ask me to tell you what I had to say; I don't remember!" Erin Sanders has worked on set with a number of well known actors, such as Catherine Zeta-Jones ("She seems really nice. I found out that she speaks 3 different languages: English, French, and a little Welsh. I thought that was very cool."), James Garner ("He taught me how to play poker!"), David Spade ("He always called me 'Tiny.' I don't think he even knows my real name!!!"), Joe Pesci ("He was showing us the best ways to shoot paper-clips using a rubber-band!"), Clancy Brown ("We kept cracking up every time I had to hit him with the rubber rock!"), Tyne Daly ("In our scene together, we passed each other on the stairs. Afterwards, she said, 'It was a pleasure sharing a staircase with you!'"), and Amy Brenneman ("She was pounding the celery with a meat tenderizer between takes. It was sooo funny!!!"). In addition to acting, Erin Sanders continues to be involved in Girl Scouts and has been a top cookie seller for over 10 years; she has sold up to 1900 boxes of cookies per year.
