About Erin

This is the official Erin Sanders website.  Enjoy!!!

     Many of you may know Erin for her role as Quinn, the “cool science geek” in the Emmy-nominated Nickelodeon show “Zoey 101.” Erin 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. 

     Others are just starting to get to know Erin in her role as Camille, the  resident method actress on the new hit Nickelodeon show "Big Time Rush." "Camille is a little bit crazy," says Erin.  "You have no clue who she is; every time you see her, she's wearing a different costume and pretending to be a completely different person."

     What you may not know is that Erin was discovered by an agent while selling Girl Scout cookies!  “I had just turned 9,” she 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 has appeared in several other TV shows, such as "Mad Men," "Weeds," "Castle," "8 Simple Rules," "Judging Amy,” “Carnivale,” “American Dreams,” and “Strong Medicine.”   In addition, she introduced the character of Eden in the popular CBS daytime soap, “The Young and the Restless”  and, for this, she won a 2009 Young Artist Award for Best Recurring Actress in a TV Series. 

     "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 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!!!”).
