## Career

Lakin got her start acting in commercials, before landing her first major role as Young Rose in the American Civil War drama *The Rose and the Jackal*. That movie aired in 1990, one year before she was cast as Alicia Lambert, the tomboyish daughter, on *Step by Step*. After *Step by Step* was cancelled in 1998, she continued to appear in television movies, such as Showtime's *Reefer Madness* and 2005's *Who's Your Daddy?*. In 2006, She also appeared in a commercial called "But He Has Bud Light" that aired during Super Bowl XLI, in which her male companion wants to pick up a hitchhiker who has Bud Light beer in one hand and an axe in the other.

In 2008, she starred alongside Paris Hilton in the movie *The Hottie and the Nottie*, requiring extensive makeup to make her appear ugly. The film met dismal reviews in the US. In 2010, she became Craig Kilborn's sidekick (his "Huckleberry Friend" – a reference to his "favorite movie", *Breakfast at Tiffany's*) on *The Kilborn File* on select Fox stations. She was a judge on the YouTube competition Internet Icon alongside Ryan Higa on the YouTube channel, YOMYOMF, and she also is the creator of *Worst Audition Ever*, a live evening of comedy. Beginning in 2013 she has also been narrating audiobook adaptations. She also voiced the character Jane from *The Walking Dead: Season Two* video game.

She is also the voice of news anchor Joyce Kinney in the animated sitcom *Family Guy*, debuting in the episode "Excellence in Broadcasting". She also featured as Lois's college friend Naomi, in a live table read of "Partial Terms of Endearment"; though not in the eventual episode.
