A petite, pretty actress, Taryn Manning alternately appears as a blonde and a brunette and possesses both a tough girl air and a childlike vulnerability that has helped her win some interesting roles early in her career. An Arizona native who relocated to Southern California at age 12, Manning spent her early years filled with competitive karate, roller-skating and dance. The multitalented teen was also a talented singer and attended the Orange County High School of the Arts.
Making her breakthrough in 1999, Manning was featured in the film drama Speedway Junky and landed a recurring role on the Fox drama series Get Real , which suffered an early cancellation. Guest shots on The Practice (ABC) and Ryan Caulfield: Year One (Fox) rounded out the year for the up and comer. Continuing to work in television, the actress appeared in the Fox TV-movie Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (2000) and 2001 episodes of NYPD Blue (ABC) and Boston Public , the latter a role tailor-made for her and BoomK.
A.T., her musical collaboration with brother Kellin.
In 2001, Manning had a high-profile role in the teen romance crazy/beautiful , stealing scenes from talented co-stars Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez with her energetic and charming performance as a party girl. One of the few highlights of the film (which was driven by an uninspired middle-of-the-road soundtrack) was Manning s moment in the sun, ditching school and singing the appropriate Bein Bad , a song co-written by the actress and her brother.
