American actress and dancer Kayla
Maisonet has built a successful career by transitioning from a prominent Disney
Channel star into a versatile television performer. Born in New York and raised
in New Jersey, she discovered her passion for performing at an early age. She
dedicated years to a competitive dance company, an experience that sharpened her
movement skills and stage presence, eventually leading her to appear in national
commercials and off-Broadway theatre productions.
Maisonet gained widespread recognition through her memorable recurring roles on
popular children's programming. She first caught the attention of audiences as
Lindsay, the quirky best friend on the Disney Channel sitcom Dog with a Blog, a
performance that earned her a Young Artist Award in 2014. Her major breakthrough
arrived in 2016 when she secured the main role of Georgie Diaz, the
sports-loving middle child, in the hit series Stuck in the Middle.
Following her success with Disney, Maisonet successfully branched out into
mainstream television. She demonstrated her comedic timing in a recurring role
as Izzy on the ABC sitcom Speechless and made guest appearances on shows like
All Rise and The Rookie. More recently, she expanded her acting profile with a
multi-episode arc as Nadia on the prequel series NCIS: Origins. |
