What These Early 2000s Kid Actors Are Doing Today

These kid stars lit up the screen in the early 2000s -- but what's happened to them since? Some have gone on to critically acclaimed roles while others took a step back from Hollywood. Let us catch you up on these former kid actors' lives and careers.

Jennette McCurdy ruled the Nickelodeon airwaves on iCarly, where she played Carly's spunky gal pal Sam Puckett. McCurdy later reprised the role of Sam on Nickelodeon's short-lived Sam & Cat, opposite soon-to-be megawatt pop star Ariana Grande . A revival of iCarly was announced in 2020, but McCurdy has made it clear that she won't be joining the new show, which will stream on Paramount+.

McCurdy moved into directing in 2018 with her short film Kenny, produced and starred in a one-woman show, I'm Glad My Mom Died, in February 2020, and launched her podcast, Empty Inside, in 2020. McCurdy has also written for outlets including The Huffington Post and The Wall Street Journal, often tackling thorny subjects like eating disorders and alcoholism. Many of these topics are personal for McCurdy, a fact she doesn't shy away from: She was particularly frank in discussing her dependence on alcohol after her mother's death on her podcast. Her talent might have gotten her fans' attention on iCarly and Sam & Cat, but her bravery and brilliance have earned her their everlasting respect and support.
