Shannon Marie Woodward Movies
Photogenic brunette actress Shannon Woodward (also occasionally credited as Shannon Marie Woodward) entered show business courtesy of television -- while still in primary school -- and continued to amass a substantial acting resumé well into her twenties. She enjoyed recurring and/or guest-starring roles on such primetime series as Malcolm in the Middle, Boston Public, and Cold Case, but attained broadest recognition and exposure for her portrayal of high schooler Di Di Malloy, the daughter in a family of con artists, on the way-offbeat FX network series The Riches. In 2008, Woodward signed on for a supporting role in the big screen teen-oriented shocker The Haunting of Molly Hartley. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Directed by Stephen Herek, Man of the House follows hard-nosed Texas Ranger Lt. Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones) in an undercover job as a cheerleading coach. Though his assignment is fairly cut-and-dried -- after witnessing the murder of a federal informant, a group of cheerleaders from the University of Texas need temporary protection -- he ends up forming a variety of unexpected and decidedly less simple relationships. Aside from his immersion into the struggles and triumphs of the UT cheerleading squad (Monica Keena, Kelli Garner, Christina Milian, Paula Garces, and Vanessa Ferlito), Roland finds himself dealing with a strong attraction to college professor Molly McCarthy (Anne Archer). Formerly titled Cheer Up, Man of the House also features supporting performances from Brian Van Holt, Shea Whigham, and Paget Brewster. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Here's the "High School" episode, wherein the series' stars flash back to their teenage years (complete with bad hair and worse outfits). Humiliated over being redued to working in the cafeteria of his former high school, Drew (Drew Carey) can't quite figure out how he came to be such a miserable failure. Rallying around our hero in his hour of need, Oswald (Diedrich Bader), Lewis (Ryan Stiles) and Kate (Christa Miller) each insists that he or she is responsible for Drew's sorry lot in life, thanks to miscalculations and blunders made in the past. It's a noble gesture, but in the final analysis Drew must admit the awful truth: He has messed up his life simply by being a "pity whore"! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
