Born in the tiny town of Palatka, this only child was raised in the Florida sunshine. It all began when her parents met at the Azalea Festival. Her mom was a contestant in the beauty pageant and her dad was a judge. Guess who won. Krystee spent most of her childhood in St. Petersburg where she cherished the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Her talents were nurtured from the start. She tried her hand at everything from dancing and singing to playing piano and the flute, from ice-skating and horse back riding, to juggling and twirling the baton. This three time state champion twirler had Olympic dreams! Unfortunately, baton twirling never made it as an Olympic event. What a shame.
Being precocious and independent, Krystee graduated from high school and moved to Los Angeles at 16. Over the years, she has made memorable appearances on some of television's most popular shows including 7th Heaven, Roseanne, and Boy Meets World. Remembered for her kick-ass role on Saved By The Bell, this lovely lady wrestler helped Bayside win the championships! It has become one of the most talked about episodes in the show's history.
Krystee played Trish Putterman, the battery operated robotic teenager in a series of Duracell Battery commercials. As a Putterman, she sported state-of-the-art latex prosthetics and a head-to-toe plastic wardrobe taking up to 4 hours a day to apply. The kitschy campaign was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and became a phenomenon in the 90s including T-shirts, phone cards, even Halloween costumes.
Krystee seems to have endless amounts of creativity except when it comes to naming pets. Her Papillon dog is named "Papillon". She hates talking on the phone but is a voracious reader. She spends her afternoons at museums and people watching and swears they feed the same need. She is definitely a night person, but is often spotted watching the sunrise after a night of dancing.
She is a self-proclaimed "Pop Culture Junkie". She sees at least two movies a week at a theater, is proud to be a Disneyland annual pass holder, and could never have an ipod big enough to hold her ever-growing library of music. She is addicted to Rockstars (the energy drinks and the men). She has seen hundreds of concerts and makes an annual pilgrimage to the Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
Krystee spends her spare time as a "Seeing Eye Dog" for her aunt who lost her eyesight to diabetes. She volunteers at an elementary school and actively recycles. Add her warm and charismatic personality and you would think she was "practicing for sainthood".
Krystee is currently working on a sketch comedy show called Static. It seems like the perfect gig to show off her versatility and innate comedic talent. After all, she does love laughing at herself!- Amanda was born in 2003 in the suburbs of California.

It's no surprise that Haskiri Velázquez acquired the "do it myself" attitude. Growing up in Washington Heights NY, she didn't have the resources she needed to readily succeed in her career, but she never gave up. With many acting and theater pursuits outside of school, Haskiri attended a non-profit organization called Urban Arts Partnership, where she enrolled in their Lifestories Theater program. Her passion for and dedication to acting was evident from the beginning. She would have busy school days and auditions during the week and during the weekends she would attend theater classes for at least 6 hours a day. This required a two-hour subway ride to and from her home every day.
Haskiri was in many black-box productions at Theater Row in Times Square and even at the Lucille Lortel Theater with the Lifestories program, where she quickly captured audiences. During this time, Haskiri also had the opportunity to be directed by Gina Rodríguez, Jesse Williams, and Victor Maog.
She may have started off as a "theater kid", but it wasn't long after graduating the Lifestories program that she transitioned into TV/film. Her first on-screen role was 'Tatiana García' in NYC 22. From that moment on, it was clear how much the camera loved her, which director David Rambo mentioned to her father.
Since then, Haskiri has gone on to play roles such as 'Shyvon Stevens' in Law & Order SVU (NBC), as 'Charlotte', a recurring character for The Birch (Facebook Watch), guest starred as 'Melissa Rodríguez' on Blue Bloods (CBS), played 'Rosa' in the feature film, The Forty-Year-Old Version, which premiered at Sundance 2020, and later debuted on Netlflix. Roles to follow have been the lead character, 'Daisy', in the Saved By The Bell reboot and also as 'Ava' in the 2021 Lifetime movie, You're Not Safe Here.
Haskiri has plans to start her own non-profit, with the goal and hope to inspire other Latin× to keep pursuing their dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. She also hopes to see an increase in on-screen roles for her fellow Latin× in general, and that they will be both respectful and an accurate representation of the Latin× community.

Megyn Price is one of the more familiar faces in the world of television sitcoms. A gifted college student with a mind for figures, Price initially embarked on a career in finance, before making the jump to acting. Her television debut on the final season episode, Liberation - October 16, 1968 (1993), of the sci-fi adventure, Quantum Leap (1989) (NBC, 1989-1993), soon led to more TV guest spots and a regular cast role on the exceptionally short-lived legal sitcom, Common Law (1996) (ABC, 1996). Although Price occasionally picked up smaller parts in feature films, like the Russell Crowe vehicle, Mystery, Alaska (1999), it was on the small screen that she truly excelled. While another co-starring role on the Al Franken sitcom, LateLine (1998) (NBC, 1998-2000), lasted a mere two seasons, Price's turn as thirty-something mom "Claudia Finnerty" on the family comedy, Grounded for Life (2001) (The WB, 2001-05), helped establish her as a recognizable screen presence. Surrounded by a popular ensemble cast, that included Patrick Warburton and David Spade, she enjoyed her lengthiest series run on the relationship sitcom, Rules of Engagement (2007) as matrimonial veteran, "Audrey Bingham".- Heidi Lucas was born on 3 June 1977.
