Merritt Patterson's earliest roles include guest appearances in shows such as "Kyle XY," "Supernatural," and "Life Unexpected," but she really started to make a name for herself after landing parts in made-for-TV movies. While fans may be used to seeing her in down-to-earth rom-com roles, the actor actually played mean girl antagonists in Lifetime's "The Pregnancy Project" and the Disney Channel original movie "Radio Rebel."
When asked about her experiences assuming such personas, Patterson reflected positively on the roles. "You know, it's actually a fun role to play. How could it not [be]? I'm not like that in person, so it's a fun chance to get to do that," she said in a Shine On Media interview. "But there are a few scenes in ["Radio Rebel"] where as soon as we yelled to cut it was like 'Debbie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it!'"
While these may be a far cry from the roles we typically see Patterson in on the Hallmark channel, we can't help but love seeing the British Columbia native flex her acting muscles.
