Amy Castle is an award winning actress turned food fanatic. Garnering success from the age of eight, she grew up in the television world, sharing the screen with the likes of Bryan Cranston, Jim Belushi, Jerry O'Connell, Calista Flockhart, Hilary Duff and more. She has recurred on "Ally McBeal," "General Hospital," and "Passions," and guest starred on "Malcolm in The Middle," "Lizzie McGuire," and "The Defenders," to name a few.
It was at the young age of three that Amy received her first taste of the spotlight. Born into a musically artistic family, her mother was inspired to write a children's album for her, which her father recorded. Of the eleven tracks on the album, three year old Amy sang one herself - a 43 second recording that has now exploded into the viral phenomenon known as "The Cuppycake Song." The album was uploaded to the internet in 1996, and to date, the song has been played over 100 million times on YouTube alone. Amy has been interviewed by Inside Edition, and Tyra Banks, among others. It's a long story. Just google it.
Growing up in a healthy household with a personal trainer mother, Amy was immersed in the world of natural products from day one. Raised on organic, wheat and dairy free foods, she learned at an early age that what you put into your body reflects how you feel, and how you live your life. As she got older, she was finding herself leisurely browsing grocery store aisles and fascinated by nutrition labels. Always on the hunt for something good for you as well as your taste buds. At the same time, she was becoming the go-to girl in her friend circle for the lo-down on restaurants in the LA area, as well as what to make at home. Amy quickly realized that she could combine her talents in front of the camera with her passion for healthy eating, and viola! "What's Amy Eating?" popped out of the mental oven.
Whether it's ordered from a restaurant, purchased at the grocery store or made at home, Amy is on a mission to show you that healthy eating can be delicious, affordable and fun. Her goal is to educate, empower, and make you laugh along the way.
Now at 24, Amy is redefining her career and expanding her work, both on screen and off. In addition to producing "What's Amy Eating," you can find her alongside Jim Ross Meskimen, Ross Marquand, and Angela Kinsey in "The Impression Guys" directed by Ben Shelton on SoulPancake. She is also the creative media director for Environmental Research Advocates - a non-profit organization funding global scientific research.
