Kaley Cuoco, known for her role as the late John Ritter's daughter on 8 Simple Rules, joins the cast of Charmed in its eighth season as Billie, a young witch under the guidance of the Charmed Ones.
Cuoco began her acting career at a young age, appearing in commercials and modeling. Her first television gig was in 1992's Quicksand: No Escape, with Donald Sutherland. Cuoco's television credits include a starring role in the series Ladies Man, along with guest appearances on 7th Heaven, Northern Exposure and My So-Called Life. Strange coincidences were on Kaley?s side when she guest starred on Ellen, where she played a young Ellen in flashbacks. She later portrayed Maureen McCormick (a.k.a Maria Brady) in the television film Growing Up Brady. She then went on to appear again with DeGeneres on The Ellen Show, this time playing the daughter of actress Maureen McCormick's character.
In television movies, Cuoco's credits include Crimes of Fashion, 10.5, Alley Cats Strike, Toothless, Attack of the 50ft Woman and Dean Koontz's Mr. Murder.
Cuoco often lends her voice to animated television shows, including You Can Hear Her, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, where she plays Brandy, the snobbish dog, and Bratz, a show based on the best-selling dolls.
Cuoco recently wrapped production on the independent film Farewell Bender, a story about a group of high school friends who reunite in their hometown for the funeral of an old buddy, Bender, and spend a weekend struggling to accept that Bender escaped what they can't - adulthood. Other independent film roles include Debating Robert Lee and The Hollow.
Landing her first feature film role at the age of 8 in Virtuosity, starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, Cuoco went on to have roles in Picture Perfect, Can?t Be Heaven and Lucky 13. She also appeared onstage in community theater productions of Fiddler on the Roof and Annie.
In her spare time, Cuoco is a gifted tennis player, and is a ranked amateur in the Southern California Tennis Association. She also enjoys hiking, running, horseback riding, going to the gym and spending time with her rescued dogs Petey and Leo. Cuoco is also involved in charities such as the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Animal Avengers and PETA.
Cuoco currently resides in Los Angeles.
