Danika Yarosh

Danika Yarosh was just four years old when a day out with her family paved the way for her acting career. The film "The Stepford Wives" (2004) was shooting near her family's home, and her mother brought her onto the set to work as an extra. It was around this time that Yarosh also began studying dance, beginning with jazz and ballet and eventually moving on to tap, hip-hop, and modern, even taking her interest in dance to a competitive level. Yarosh had to put her competitive aspirations on hold, however, when in 2008, she was cast in "Billy Elliot: The Musical" on Broadway. She performed with the production for eight months, before she began pursuing a career on screen. Yarosh's older sister Mani was already following the same career path, and soon, the younger Yarosh was winning roles on TV series like "30 Rock" (NBC, 2006-2013). In 2011, Yarosh joined the cast of the series "See Dad Run" (Nickelodeon, 2012-14) alongside Scott Baio. By 2014, she was working with acting great William H. Macy on the series "Shameless" (Showtime, 2011-). The following year, Yarosh auditioned for and ultimately won a part on the "Heroes" (NBC, 2006-2010) follow up "Heroes Reborn" (NBC, 2015-), playing the role of Malina.
