Where You Can See Her: As the overachieving Maggie on Cartoon Network's Unnatural History

Though Italia has only been active in the Hollywood business for a couple of years now, she's been working hard to get a steady acting gig. She's had a few unnamed roles in movies, and she's had recurring roles on a few kids' series, but Unnatural History is truly her breakout part. She's utterly convincing as the sole female perspective in an adventurous trio of friends at a posh American school. In shows that are aimed at children and families, there is usually a reliance on over-the-top acting and slapstick to keep the youngest members of the audience entertained, but Italia doesn't have to do any of that. She is completely natural in her role, which is doubly impressive when some of the scenes she films are completely unrealistic.
