"The crews here every day. They're all here because of this," the then 19-year-old told ET about her commitment to the show. "The least i can do is know my lines and get on my marks and do what I'm meant to do. Do my job because everyone else is here doing theres."

Not to mention, when she nabbed the starring role as Max Guevera in Dark Angel, she wasn't even really looking for work.
