Natalia Dyer Recalls How She Ended Up in Hannah Montana Movie

You will always find your way back home to your first acting role.

Natalie Dyer may be well known for her role as Nancy Wheeler on Netflix Other people’s thingsbut the 27-year-old actress started in a place far, far away from the Upside Down: Hannah Montana: The Movie.

Back in 2009, Natalia debuted as Clarissa Granger, a British superfan of Hannah Montana (who was also the daughter of the film’s villain, Oswald Granger).

How did she get the gig? Natalya said that this happened when she was growing up in Nashville, Tennessee.

“It wasn’t a big movie town then, and then large-scale productions started,” she explained during a speech on August 11 at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “It was a big deal. Everyone was very excited.”

She continued: “They had these two British twin roles that they decided to cast locally, and for some reason I, yes.”
