Eventually, encouraged by a friend, Mack's mother Donna signed her up with a talent agency and Mack began to do commercial work for Tuft's Health Care in Boston including a Diaper commercial, a Hormel Chilli Hotdog and a Nike shoe commercial. Now Mackenzie lives in Los Angeles with both her mother - Donna, step-father - Randy, older sister - Katelyn (18yrs old) and younger brother - Chandler (14yrs or 15yrs old) which is best for Mack as she is still shooting 7th Heaven.

Mack had done tv work before she began on 7th Heaven, beforehand she had done a few commercials for companies, such as: Nike, Hormel Chili and Tuffs Diapers. Mack is a talented young actress IMO and will go far as the success of 7th Heaven rises and more opportunities open for her. She truly is a talented gem that everyone should take notice of.

Lucy Camden

Real name: Beverley Mitchell
Birthdate: January 22, 1981
Birthplace: Arcadia, California
Star Sign: Aquarius


Beverley Mitchell was born Jan. 22, 1981, in Arcadia, Calif. Unlike other actresses who are discovered through modeling or other glamorous methods, Mitchell was spotted by a talent agent after throwing a temper tantrum alongside her mother in the middle of a shopping mall. She started her acting career at age five, doing commercials for companies such as Oscar Mayer, Cream of Wheat, and Energizer batteries.

Mitchell's first major television series was Big Brother Jake in 1990, which she followed up with 7th Heaven in 1996. But her success as an actress was overshadowed by personal tragedy. Her parents divorced shortly after she landed the role of Lucy Camden, and one year later a close friend died in a car crash.

While working on the small screen, Mitchell managed to attend Loyola Marymount University and study film. She has also started writing music with folk and rock influences. The actress is also involved with several charities, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Jessica Biel made her television series acting debut on 7th Heaven and has since emerged as a break-out star. Biel recently finished filming the Warner Bros. romantic comedy, Summer Catch starring opposite Freddie Prinze, Jr. which is in theaters now. Initially pursuing her vocal talents, Biel began performing professionally on stage at the age of 9 in productions such as Annie, The Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast. A natural beauty, Biel soon turned to modeling and commercial work. She won a scholarship to the Young Actor's Space in Los Angeles after competing in the International Modeling and Talent Association's Annual Conference in 1994. Biel was featured in People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful issue. In an impressive display of versatility, Biel garnered rave notices for her portrayal as Peter Fonda's rebellious granddaughter in the critically praised feature film Ulee's Gold. The film, which earned Fonda an Academy Award nomination, was the centerpiece of the 1997 Sundance Film Festival and was screened in competition at Cannes. Biel also starred on the big screen in I'll Be Home For Christmas in a romantic role opposite Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Born in September 1998 to parents Shawna and Tony Brino, the babies were conceived through in vitro after the couple tried to have children for years. As luck would have it, Shawna and Tony attended an infertility seminar and won the raffle - a free in vitro procedure. The babies were born six weeks early and made their primetime debut when they were just over 5 months old. As the quadruplets grew older, they were given more screen time and more challenging work, such as looking at another specific cast member, smiling, crying, walking and finally, even talking. Now, Nikolas and Lorenzo handle the roles without assistance from their two siblings, but they're all still very much a part of the 7th Heaven family.

When not busy working, Nikolas and Lorenzo spend time with their family and enjoy being kids.

The all-American nice guy with the great head of hair, Barry Watson solidified his role as a wholesome dreamboat, playing Matt Camden on “7th Heaven” (WB 1996-2006), the most successful series in WB network history. Despite being a bone of contention with producers on the conservative family drama, Watson refused to cut his shaggy hair. The fans loved it and eventually executives came to appreciate, not only the hair, but the actor as well, who showed a great strength and courage in the face of potential tragedy.

Born April 23, 1974 in Traverse City, MI as the third of four children, Watson and family soon moved to a Richardson, TX – a Dallas suburb – where he began modeling at age eight. In high school, the only boy in his class with long hair and an earring stood out from the crowd – even more so when, at age 14, his lawyer father and paralegal mother divorced – an uncommon practice back then. One year later, Watson picked up and moved to L.A to pursue his acting dreams. Almost right away, the handsome teen landed a part on the daytime soap opera, “Days of Our Lives” (NBC, 1965- ), but the gig lasted only six months. Although a noble first attempt, Watson was unable to secure another role, so he returned to Texas to graduate from Richardson High School.

In 1993, it was with a renewed determination that Watson returned again to L.A. to make his mark. In between auditions and guest appearances on shows like CBS’ “The Nanny” (1993-99) and “Nash Bridges” (1996-2001), Watson worked a variety of jobs. Typically Hollywood, he landed a job as a parking attendant at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip – where he parked Tori Spelling’s car. Only six months later, Spelling and Watson met again when he was cast in the TV movie “Co-ed Call Girl” (1996) with the “Beverly Hills 90210” star in the lead. Although she didn’t remember their first encounter, Watson jogged her memory, reminding her that she had failed to tip him. She later gave him a better tip by introducing him to his first wife, Laura Payne Gabriel, on the set of “Malibu Shores” (NBC, 1996) after Spelling’s father, legendary television producer, Aaron Spelling, had hired Watson as a recurring character on the short-lived series. The famed producer was impressed enough with Watson that he promised him another job after the series ended.

It wasn’t long before the ever loyal, elder Spelling delivered on his promise, casting Watson as Matt Camden, the oldest of seven children to the Reverend Eric Camden and his wife Annie on “7th Heaven.” The spiritual drama delivered a moral message in every episode that resonated with viewers during its decade-long run. Watson's character was only minutely rebellious of his minister father, but he did start smoking cigarettes! Watson managed to convey some of the normal angst of teenaged years without violent or delinquet cliches. As the fairer sex fans swooned, others in the biz began to notice Watson’s appeal as well. He made his feature film debut in 1999 after “Scream” director Kevin Williamson cast Watson as bad boy Luke Churner opposite Katie Holmes in “Teaching Mrs. Tingle” (1999), both starring as teenagers holding their spiteful teacher (Helen Mirren) hostage.

In 2002, Watson’s world came crashing down. After a routine check, he received the devastating news that he had Hodgkin’s Disease, a form of lymphatic cancer. He took an understandable sabbatical from “7th Heaven” to undergo chemotherapy. One year later, the cancer was officially in remission. Healthy again, he returned to work on the WB series for its 150th episode and continued on as a recurring cast member. With a new lease on life, he went on to star in the comedy “Sorority Boys” (2002) as a cross dressing college student, as well as taking a turn to the dark side in the horror film, “Boogeyman” (2005).

Back on primetime, Watson got his first grown-up, leading man role in ABC’s high hopes drama, “What About Brian” (2006- ). As Brian, the lead player and last single guy in his group of friends, Watson’s character searched for the “one” while his coupled friends struggled in their own relationships, but urged Brian to join their club just the same. The plot thickened when Brian realized that he had found the “one” in his best friend’s fiancé. Critics described the show as a cross between “Friends” (NBC 1994-2004) and “Thirtysomething (ABC 1987-1991). And once again Watson had the good fortune to be paired with a prolific television producer – this time, “Brian” producer J.J. Abrams – also creator of the hit series “Lost” (ABC 2004- ) and Alias (ABC 2001- 06).

Though his profile had raised exponentially following his cancer bout, Watson still liked to keep his private life private. Little was known about his first marriage to Laura Payne Gilbert. He later married Tracy Hutson, an actress and designer on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” (ABC, 2003- ). However, Watson was less shy about acknowledging proudly that he had became a father, following the birth of first child, Oliver, in May 2005.
