They did a great job,” she toldElite Dailyin an interview.
“I did a commercial for a phone company when I was five,” she toldEsquirein an interview.
So, yeah, Vayntrub’s got talent, along with the resume to prove it.
In 1996,Vayntrub appeared in three episodesof “Days of Our Lives” as a young Kristen Blake.
“I played someone in a flashback version.
I ended up not auditioning for that.
They just called me after they saw me on [‘ER’] to do that.”
“One of the characters set up hidden cameras around the school and he caught me eating and burping.
That was it.”
“I’m a professional disgusting person!”
Hey, she clearly nailed the part, and that’s what matters!

But obviously, Vayntrub would find her way back to acting eventually, though it took a few years.
