Actor/Actress: Amanda Bynes
Position Portrayed: Forward
Played For:: Illyria
Why you should vote:: In the film, the character proved her point.
Why you should not vote:: We aren’t sure that a Shakespearian adaptation works for our Hall.
Before Amanda Bynes went completely nuts, she was the sweetheart of family friendly romantic teen coms. One of her most popular roles was as Viola Hastings, a Soccer player who wanted to test her skills by competing with the boys. She of course posed as a boy to compete, and the standard clichés occurred. Unlike her twitter account, there was a happy ending here, and this was not the worst Shakespearean adaptation ever done. It was far from the best though.
