This is definitely true of Katy Perry, who appeared in season six's "Oh Honey." As Zoey's cousin, "Honey" (no one remembers her name), Perry played a gullible - but lovable - ditz and ended up winning a People's Choice Award for her efforts.

Between This Is Usand Tangled, Moore is known for her acting just as much as her singing. Obviously, Mandy Moore has plenty of experience with acting.
