Jason Zimbler is best known for playing Ferguson W. Darling, the little brother to Clarissa Darling (Melissa Joan Hart) in Nickelodeon’s Clarissa Explains It All. He obviously wasn’t the main character in the show, but he was a notable character who made the audience laugh from time to time. After the show ended, he continued to work in the entertainment industry, but this time from behind the cameras. Since 2011, he has worked for HBO as a software designer.

Nikki Blonsky became an instant favorite in the musical comedy film Hairspray in 2007. After its release, it has been reported that Nikki continued to receive offers to act in film and on TV, but the actress was looking for a steady source of income and not just sporadic acting gigs. She decided to leave acting and sought a career in cosmetics. She now works as a hairstylist and makeup guru out of Great Neck, NY.
