Dedication to Kyla Pratt and Raven17

Kyla Pratt co-stars as Breanna Washington, the smart and sassy teenage daughter of Flex Washington.

Pratt, 15, began her show business career in 1995 after being cast in a commercial for the "Di Vinci, Time and Space" interactive computer-game, and she has been working steadily ever since. She later won the Nickelodeon Kids Choice "Favorite Rising Star" award in 1999.

By the age of 12, Pratt had accumulated close to 20 supporting and guest starring roles on television series such as "Friends" and "Family Matters." Her additional series credits include "Becker," UPN's THE PARKERS, "The Hughleys," "Touched by an Angel," "Walker, Texas Ranger," "So Weird," "Sister Sister" and the Lifetime movie "Jackie's Back." She also had recurring roles on "The Smart Guy" and UPN's "Moesha."

Pratt's television credits also include Nickelodeon's television movie "Maniac McGee," starring in the lead role; Disney's new animated series "Proud Family," for which she provides the voice of Penny Proud, and guest appearances on the television series "Strong Medicine" and "Lizzie Maguire." She is currently in her second season of "Proud Family." Television viewers may also recognize Pratt as the feisty young girl from the Nike commercials in which she coaches WNBA players.

Her recent feature film credits include "Like Mike," in which she makes a special appearance with Lil' Bow Wow, and "Dr. Dolittle" and "Dr. Doolittle 2," starring alongside Eddie Murphy as Maya Dolittle, a role that earned her two NAACP Image Award nominations. She also appeared in "One Night Stand," directed by Mike Figgis; "Psalms from the Underground," directed by Eriq La Salle; and "Love & Basketball," for which she was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award.

Pratt enjoys dancing, singing, rollerblading, ice-skating, cheerleading and basketball. Like a typical teenager, she has become a pro at shopping and spending time talking on the phone. However, she juggles her busy television production schedule with home schooling. She also participates in various charitable activities throughout the summer, including Challengers Boys & Girls Club fundraisers.
