Fans of "Make It or Break It" had a love-hate relationship with Lauren Tanner, the privileged and hotheaded gymnast who had it out for the new girl from the beginning. Cassandra Scerbo had only been acting for four years when she landed the part, but it launched her acting career. Just one year after the series was canceled, she scored the part of Nova Clarke in what's now known as a laughably bad movie franchise: "Sharkndao."

Scerbo reprised her role in the "Sharknado" movies several times, appearing in the third, fifth, and sixth installments. In speaking with the Dallas Morning News in July 2015, the actor remarked, "It was already so crazy and ridiculous. That's how it's become a cult classic. It's real cool to say that I was part of that. I got to be in the Jaws of our day."

In addition to what's likely her most iconic role, Scerbo has worked on other projects, like "Grand Hotel," and lent her voice to the animated film "Under the Boardwalk." And, while her "Make It or Break It" character was known for intimidation and manipulation, Scerbo currently serves as vice president of Boo2bullying, an organization created to teach and uplift children.
