As you all know, the daughter, Brooke, in "Sperm Donor" is played by the exceptionally talented Lauren Schaffel. Without Brooke, the show wouldn't have an emotional core -- she's exceptionally cool and funny!
Here's her short bio:
Lauren has been acting since she was 5 years old. Her first TV job was on a sitcom called "Fudge" (from the kids books by Judy Blume) where she played the kindergarden girlfriend of the little boy on the show. Her most memorable roles are working on the shows "Just Shoot Me," "Will and Grace" and her current re-curring role on "Still Standing" where she plays Becca, the best friend of one her real best friends, Renee Olstead. Lauren has also done voiceover work and she is most proud of her voice role as Lucy in two "Peanuts" shows and some commercials. Lauren studies opera singing and is currently appearing in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Gondeliers" in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Lauren has one more year at High School in Los Angeles, and is hoping to go college in New York City where she can pursue a liberal arts education and continue to study dramatic arts and vocal performance. Working on "Sperm Donor" was an amazing experience for her since it was her very first television sitcom pilot. She felt a tremendous rapport with the cast, writers, and producers of the show and was extremely comfortable on the set. She is very proud of how the show turned out and is so honored to be a part of "Situation Comedy."

Special note from Mark, off of he imdb credits, I'm excited to see that she was a voice on Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star... if I'd have known that, I would have liked the movie more.

Happened to catch "Still Standing" and saw her...and was all, "That's totally the Sperm Donor girl!" Which is, I'm sure, is a pet name her parents like to call her. In any case, she's awesome.
