About Lisa Foiles
Lisa Renee Foiles is an American actress, glamour model and internet personality. She is best known as a cast member of the Nickelodeon sketch comedy show All That.
Lisa was one of the new cast members introduced as part of the 2002 revival of All That, a Nickelodeon-produced alternative to Saturday Night Live. She appeared on the program for four seasons, until its eventual cancellation in 2005. During this period, she made several appearances on numerous other television series, most notably Even Stevens. In 2003, she guest-starred in "If Boys Were Girls", an episode of the fourth season of Malcolm in the Middle, where she portrayed Mallory, a female version of the titular character (portrayed by Frankie Muniz). Foiles subsequently took a break from acting to complete "college writing courses", with a focus on graphic design and video games.
In 2009, Foiles began writing articles on gaming website Kotaku. She later credited her love of video games with "absolutely [changing] my life", and said many of the acting roles she subsequently received were a direct result of her involvement with the gaming industry. She returned to acting in 2010, portraying 'Trina' in an episode of the American television series Leverage. That same year, she began a career in video game journalism, appearing several times on The Angery Joe Show. She was also the production and graphic designer of several books released by Hungry Girl, two of which entered The New York Times Best Seller list. During this time she also began working with the indie video game company Soma Games as a writer for their new games. In 2011, she appeared in the Disney Digital Network 6-episode miniseries The Street Fighter, and in the game-themed movie Your Friends Close, which was eventually released in 2013. She provided a voice in the Xbox Live Arcade game Ms. Splosion Man (2011).
The following year saw Foiles appear in the Adventures of the League of STEAM episode "Tall Tails", as well as an episode of SMBC Theater, and in the Cracked.com skit "If Movie Hackers Were More Like IT Guys". She starred in the pilot episode of A. J. Locascio's Spike TV series Yesterday Tonight, a show based on the popular culture of the 1980s and '90s, and appeared as Princess Zelda in The Game Station's live action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, in the episode "A Fistful of Rupees". Foiles was also a model in the "Girls of Geek" calendar, the proceeds of which were donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Foiles is married to producer Shawn Cloninger, and currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. She gave birth to her first child, a daughter in September 2016, and a son in November 2018.
As of May 2024, she has amassed 23,000 subscribers on her YouTube platform.
