Lizzy Greene was head over heels when a third season of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn got the green light. New episodes start July 9 at 7:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon.
"I was doing cartwheels I was so excited," she said. "We get to go back and we get to live this dream for another 14 episodes."
On the show, Greene plays the only girl in a set of quadruplets, who are nowhere near the same. Of course, that leads to shenanigans and misunderstandings that lend themselves to comedy. She says the role lets her "really rep girl power."
"It shows you can be different but you can still be awesome and be unique in your own ways," she said. "I like playing Dawn because she's funny. Ever since I read the script, I just fell in love with her. We have so much in common."
Here are five things you should know about the 13-year-old North Texas native and TV veteran:
She's never more excited than when she's in Texas.
"Texas is just so much cleaner," she said and laughs. "It's where I call home. Not that I don't love Los Angeles. It's really fun and [there are] lots of cool things to do."
Acting isn't her only passion. Others include animals; P.S. Arts, a foundation that provides arts education to under-served students and communities in California; and gymnastics.
"I've been doing a lot of gymnastics, perfecting that. Gymnastics is very time-consuming and I do it every day.
"When I was little, I always wanted to be a vet. I really love the Best Friends Society and the SPCA. It's important for me to recognize those causes and help them out."
She's not above stealing a red carpet like she did at the 2016 Kids Choice Awards, hosted by Blake Shelton, at which she was nominated for Favorite Female TV Star.
"The really cool thing was I was nominated," she demurs. "I got two really big recognitions from that one event."
She started her career when most children are only thinking about the second grade.
"I did lots of theater when I was younger. The first one I ever did was when I was 7. It was a musical in Plano. And it kick-started everything. An agent came and saw me in the plays. They thought I was good. I met my manager at a class and that's where he introduced me to NRDD. "
She also stars in her own story on her YouTube channel.
"The thing I really like about YouTube is a few months ago I put up, 'Draw My Life.' I drew on a white board about how I came to this world and came to all this. It's a way people can get to know me better on the internet. I find it really cool. I can teach everybody more about me."
