Allisyn Ashley Arm (born April 25, 1996) is an American actress and sketch comedian. Arm is most known for her main role as Zora Lancaster on Sonny with a Chance and in Disney Channel's sketch comedy series So Random!
Allisyn Ashley Arm was born on April 25, 1996 in Glendale, California to Steve and Anji Arm. After seeing a number of plays in the Los Angeles area, her parents saw her act when she was half a year old and decided to put her into an acting school in Arizona.
The first acting job Arm booked was for a Bounty commercial that never aired. Despite the fact that her first attempt at commercial acting was done in vain, she eventually starred in many televised advertisements that did air; and in May 2002, she was cast in her very first television appearance on the medical drama series: Strong Medicine. She would go on to make appearances in episodes of Friends, 10-8, Miracles, and Judging Amy. Arm also had roles on films such as Man of the House and King of California with Twilight’s Ashley Greene. In 2009, Arm appeared as Zora in the Disney Channel original series Sonny with a Chance. After the show's cancellation, she appeared in the run of what had originally been a show within a show, the sketch comedy series So Random! in 2011. She also appeared in Amber Lily's music video "Overloadin" with her So Random! co-star Audrey Whitby in 2011. Arm recently voiced the character Stormy in the Disney Junior series Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
