- In the commercial I thought it looked like young Rory Gilmore. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 24, 14:17 1

- It's close, but I'd say that's more Ellen Paige than Ashley Johnson. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 24, 13:56 2
  - I dunno. Feels like a reach unless there's backstory involved (like Sony tried to get her, or an artist named-dropped her). -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 14:15 1
