Entertainment One's SO SO Happy Names Madison Pettis as New Brand Ambassador

About Madison Pettis:
From playing daddy's little girl as the ballerina daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Disney's hit film "The Game Plan", to becoming part of a love triangle as a recurring guest star on ABC Family's hit series, "The Fosters", Madison Pettis has grown up in front of America's eyes.

Now 17 years old, Madison began making her mark in both television and film at the age of 6.  She began her career in her home state of Texas, and after booking a string of commercials, made her first TV appearance alongside the purple dinosaur on the PBS series, "Barney & Friends".

Along with "The Fosters", Madison's recent projects include starring in the film, "Do You Believe", where she took on the challenging role of a pregnant homeless runaway.  The Pure Flix release also stars Cybill Shepherd, Mira Sorvino, & Sean Astin.  Madison also landed a guest appearance in the series finale of NBC'S "Parenthood".

This month the NFL announced Madison as their new celebrity ambassador for their Junior apparel line.  Madison will make several public appearances this football season to celebrate the Super Bowl's 50^th Anniversary.

Madison got her first break in LA at age 7, and within a few weeks of arriving for her first pilot season, she booked a guest-star role on the pilot episode of "Jericho", starring Skeet Ulrich and directed by Jon Turteltaub.  That same pilot season, Madison auditioned for her very first feature film, Disney's "The Game Plan".  She went through a lengthy callback process to land the role of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's long-lost daughter, Peyton.  "The Game Plan" scored box office success by landing the #1 spot for two weeks in a row, earning $144 million worldwide.  That same year, Madison became the youngest Disney Channel star, playing the role of "Sophie", the President's daughter, on "Cory in the House" for two seasons. In a crossover episode between the two shows, Madison also guest-starred on the hit show, "Hannah Montana". 

Madison has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Will Smith on "Seven Pounds".  From the creator/producers of the hugely popular "Hannah Montana", Madison starred in the Teen Nick series "Life With Boys" for 2 seasons.  She also starred alongside Whoopi Goldberg in "Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa".  Madison also starred in the Halloween movies "Mostly Ghostly 1 & 2", based on the popular "Goosebumps" series of books, and guest-starred on The Hub's "Haunting Hour"—both projects created by author R.L. Stine.  She has starred in several other projects for Disney, including "The Search for Santa Paws" and a recurring character in 10 episodes of the #1 hit Disney XD series, "Lab Rats".

Madison has expanded her talents to include animation voiceover work.  Her next project (a continuation of the iconic "Lion King" movie) called "The Lion Guard", will premiere on Disney Channel in November.  For 3 seasons she voiced the lead role of "Izzy in Disney Junior's series, "Jake and the Never Land Pirates", as well as the voice of George Lopez's puppy daughter, "LaLa", in "Beverly Hills Chihuahua Parts 2 & 3".  She also played the recurring voice role of "Adyson" on Disney Channel's "Phineas & Ferb".

Lending her time to charitable causes is also very important to Madison.  She has an older brother who is serving on active duty in the U.S. Army, so supporting America's troops & their families is a cause close to her heart.  Madison is the youngest entertainer ever to tour for the U.S.O. and has visited with thousands of children of service men & women at schools on military bases in the U.S. and Germany.  She has also helped raise funds for Trees For Troops, which provides free Christmas trees to military families. 

Madison has a strong fan base on social media with over 9.3 million followers.
