Anyway, since GROWING UP GODLY isn't available yet--and won't be for at least another year!--I'll give you a quick setup. It's the story of a California girl who gets uprooted to a tiny Greek island half a world away and is trying to find her place at a school for the descendants of Greek gods. Without further ado... my cast list.
Amanda Bynes as Phoebe Castro -- The aforementioned California girl. Phoebe's a jockette cross-country runner with little patience for fashion if it's not Nikes and a pair of sweats. After playing soccer stud Viola in She's the Man, she is my perfect choice.
Tom Welling as Griffin Blake -- Griffin is a descendant of Ares, which makes him really athletic. His sport of choice? Cross-country, of course. He's a little bit tortured and a lotta hot, so how could I not choose Tom with those chiseled cheeks and piercing blue eyes.
Kristen Bell as Nicole Matios -- She's the girl who knows the lay of the land, who's going to show Phoebe the ropes at the Academy. And she's way kick-butt, just like Veronica Mars.
Chad Michael Murray as Troy Travatas -- Cutie-pie, boy next door, best guy friend. He comes from a looong line of doctors, but has his own dreams.
Ali Larter as Stella Petrolas -- Evil stepsister? Check. Stella is a descendant of Hera, queen consort and head chick on Mount Olympus. Ali in vixen mode is the perfect Stella.Hugs,
TLC
