Hannah Gayle Marks was born April 13th, 1993 in Santa Monica, California, USA. The Marks family moved to San Luis Obispo just before Hannah's second birthday with no plans to ever return to Los Angeles. At age 6, Hannah announced to her parents that she wanted to be in a play. For the next five years, her interest in acting grew to a passion fed by over a hundred performances in such shows as Cheaper by the Dozen, Annie, Midsummer Night's Dream, and To Kill a Mockingbird at the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre less than a mile from her home. By the age of eleven, Hannah persuaded her parents to go to Hollywood for an 8 week "trial". At the end of the 8th week, Hannah landed a dramatic role in the Charles Band horror film, Doll Graveyard (2005). It was her third audition. A month later, she played Lizzie Geralds in the Marisa Tomei thriller, Danika (2006), immediately followed by the comedy, Accepted (2006), playing the part of Lizzie Gaines, the precocious overachieving little sister of 'Justin Long' . Hannah recently finished shooting her first television role on _Numb3rs (2005)_ , as the abused daughter of a Methamphetamine addict.
