When I was watching the 2nd episode this week, a Penn alum's name in the opening credits surprisingly caught my eye. And she happens to have had a pretty big role in the show.
Just when I thought I covered all the Penn actors out there, along comes another one and tonight she'll be appearing on a popular ABC show.
After the jump, find out about this alum and where else you may have seen her.
In the clip above he played "Vlad Petrov", a drug dealing Russian thug. (and this isn't the first time a Penn alum played a Russian thug on an ABC show!)
This week the "The Mouse House" (ABC/Disney) is all about the red and the blue.
From news pertaining to studio heads, actors, producers, and writers, find out what sorts of waves Penn alumni are making this week!
Speaking of Prince Caspian, check out the The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian website I produced for teachers and group leaders (you can also get group tickets here as well!)

Taryn Winter Brill C'00 was most recently an anchor on Good Day Sacramento but has now gone national!
As of yesterday, Taryn is now the new entertainment correspondent on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer! I caught her segment today which had her on the streets of Manhattan reporting on the sometimes awkward custom of greeting a stranger with a kiss. She's a sure natural!
When Taryn was an anchor on Good Day Sacramento she expressed her "obsession" with late night show host Craig Ferguson and was soon after acknowledged by Craig(!) on his show. Check out this very cute clip here
Check out Taryn's Good Day Sacramento "Car Wash" segment
Taryn isn't the only Penn alumnus in front of the camera in the news. ABC must like our alumni because we have Stephanie Sy on ABC News and Dara Cook on ABC News Now. Outside of ABC, Emily Frances is the entertainment reporter on New York's WPIX.

"As an outsider to the entertainment industry and to LA, DuelingTampons.com gave me an excellent jumping-off point to start my job search. It enabled me to learn about Penn alums in the entertainment industry and conduct necessary preliminary research.

I mean it gave me sense memory of Penn... of the Walk when it was cold, or being in McNeill with Abiel, or being in German class, or taking 20 extra minutes to get to class because of seeing everyone I knew on Locust Walk, or people that sat in my classes that are now really famous or important... just a great site"
