For the second consecutive year, fifth-grader Heather Peace has been selected to appear on Cartoon Network’s “Fridays,” which features a five-hour block of episodes from shows such as “Code Name: Kids Next Door,” “What’s New Scooby Doo?” and “The Powerpuff Girls.” The weekly series, hosted by Tara Sands and Tommy Snider, also features live-action sketches and the antics of Milkman Fred, Diner Lady and other original characters.
Last year, Peace was selected out of a pool of 700 young actors and actresses and given a casting date after producers viewed her model card. She first appeared show in August of 2004, dancing and singing with the hosts and puppets, and is slated to appear in several episodes that will air in May.
“They will use clips and still pictures all through the year on different episodes,” she said. “It was fun watching myself [on television]. I look back and laugh at myself, because I was acting funny.”
“Fridays” is filmed at Turner Studios in Atlanta. Peace has also appeared in advertisements and commercials for Rich’s, Macy’s, ABC Catalog, Lands End, Sears, Dollar General, J.C. Penney, the Cartoon Network, Six Flags and more. She is the daughter of Jeff and Dena Peace of Lindale, Ga.
