Amanda Bynes Gets Canned

If you’re a fan of Amanda Bynes, you’ll be pleased to learn that the actress, who’s done a number of both big screen and small screen projects, has been cast in ABC’s new comedy pilot Canned. The pilot follows a group of friends who get fired in a corporate shake-up. Among the cast, including Bynes are Tim Peper, Stephanie Lemelin and Baron Vaughn.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Bynes will play Sarabeth, a naïve Midwestern girl who used to spend the night at the office to get her work done.

Bynes’ earlier comedic work includes a role in the Nickelodeon comedy series All That as well as a hosting gig on The Amanda Show. Since then she’s starred in the sitcom What I Like About You, as well as a number of big screen roles including She’s The Man, What a Girl Wants, Hairspray and one of my personal favorites, Sydney White (an underrated modern re-imagining of Snow White).
