Sierra McCormick currently resides in Los Angeles, California, with her parents and her younger sister, Kayla.

Sierra is an ardent animal lover and has appeared in an advertisement for ‘People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) with her pet dog, to promote adoption of shelter animals.

Sierra and singer and actor China Anne McClain are close friends.

Sierra McCormick was born on October 28, 1997, in Asheville, North Carolina. Shortly after her birth, the family moved to Los Angeles. Soon, Sierra developed a keen interest in acting and joined ‘The Corsa Agency’ in Los Angeles.

Her first few auditions were not too great, and this led to her getting disheartened. However, the strong spirit she possessed had her going, and she ended up playing a guest appearance in the series ‘’Til Death,’ at the age of 9. She was not credited for the role, but it provided her significant experience in front of the camera.

Growing up, she was very close to her mother. She considers her parents as her biggest support system. She has a younger sister, Kayla, and has been very fond of her since childhood.

After a brief uncredited stint with a TV show, Sierra kept auditioning for better and bigger roles. She aced the audition for the popular game show ‘Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?,’ which had thousands of other participants from across the country auditioning for it. She appeared on the second season of the show and was introduced to wider fame.

In 2007, she bagged a role in the comedy series ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ She appeared as ‘Emma’ in three episodes of the series, which was one of the most popular comedy series of the 2000s.

In 2008, she played guest roles in ‘Boston Legal’ and ‘Supernatural.’ In the former, she had an episode-long role, while in the latter, she appeared in two episodes, as ‘Lilith.’ In 2009, she made her film debut with a small role in the adventure comedy ‘Land of the Lost.’

In 2009, she lent her voice to the made-for-television film ‘Jack and Janet Save the Planet’ and followed it up with small guest roles in a number of series such as ‘Monk’ and ‘Criminal Minds.’ However, her stint in the episode ‘Welcome to the Bungle’ of the popular program ‘Hannah Montana’ caught the attention of ‘Disney.’

In 2010, she played a significant role in family comedy–drama film ‘Ramona and Beezus,’ which starred Selena Gomez. Sierra appeared in the series as ‘Susan Kushner.’ She then appeared in another family comedy ‘A Nanny for Christmas.’
