Career
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 also was in one episode of 7th Heaven, and 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 United States. 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. Beginning in 2013, she has narrated several audiobook adaptations. She also voiced the character Jane from The Walking Dead: Season Two video game and its sequel The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. 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. She later starred in the Pop series Hollywood Darlings with fellow 1990s child stars Jodie Sweetin and Beverley Mitchell. Lakin also has numerous television directing credits, including ten episodes (as of 2022) of ABC sitcom The Goldbergs, three episodes of 2019 Goldbergs spinoff sitcom Schooled, and three episodes of the 2021 Apple TV+ original series Puppy Place. She is set to make her feature directorial debut with I Won't Dance.
