Madison Blaine McLaughlin (born November 5,1995) is an American actress best known for her roles in television as Krissy Chambers in the CW series Supernatural and Annabeth 'Annie' Lisbon in the CBS series The Mentalist.
McLaughlin was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and has three little sisters, Marissa, Mallory, and Mahrynn. After appearing in a local commercial at the young age of two years old, McLaughlin knew she wanted to be in front of the camera. However, it wasn't until she enrolled in acting classes at age six that she truly began to fall in love with the art of creating a character that comes to life on stage. At age eleven, McLaughlin moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career, landing roles in plays such as "Sound of Music". She also filmed various commercials, music videos, and short films. McLaughlin filmed her first independent film entitled "Young Again" starring The Twilight Saga's Jackson Rathbone in 2007. McLaughlin went on to appear in films such as "Stacy's Mom" and "Meteor Apocalypse" before portraying the tough and witty Annie Lisbon on the CBS hit series The Mentalist, opposite of Simon Baker, Robin Tunney, and Henry Thomas (E.T.). Her work on The Mentalist was quickly followed by her portrayal of the hard-as-nails Krissy Chambers on the CW hit Sci-Fi/horror series, "Supernatural", working opposite of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. McLaughlin can also be seen on the Disney Channel series "Get Connected".
