<p><strong>THEN:</strong> A young Miranda Cosgrove picked up one of her very first roles as Summer Hathaway in <em>School of Rock</em>. Just 10 years old at the time of the film's release, Cosgrove played the ambitious class representative Summer, who becomes the band manager under Dewey's leadership. Cosgrove came into the role after previously making a small appearance in a 2001 episode of <em>Smallville</em>.<br /> <strong>NOW:</strong> The child star went on to land her biggest role just months later, playing Megan Parker on <em>Drake & Josh</em> from 2004 to 2007. She also made appearances in <em>Yours, Mine & Ours</em> and an episode of <em>Grounded for Life</em> during this time. The same year that she wrapped <em>Drake & Josh</em>, Cosgrove continued her Nickelodeon run with a starring turn as Carly in <em>iCarly</em> from 2007 to 2012. She also lent her voice to <em>Despicable Me</em> in 2010 and <em>Despicable Me 2</em> in 2013, recently picking up a role in the upcoming NBC series <em>Crowded</em>.</p> <p> </p>
