American actress Cozi Noelle Zuehlsdorff is well-known. She first rose to popularity in 2011’s family drama “Dolphin Tale” as Hazel Haskett, and now she’s making a name for herself as a budding young actress by landing parts in TV shows like “Mighty Med,” “Sofia the First,” and “Freaky Friday.” She is a native of California and has always wanted to be an actress. She was eight years old when she had a successful audition for a local theater company’s production of “Annie.” She debuted on cinema in the 2011 motion picture “Dolphin Tale.” A year later, she starred in the Disney TV series “Bits and Pieces” pilot, which subsequently evolved into “Liv and Maddie.” After that, Zuehlsdorff played a number of guest parts until being chosen to play Jordan in “Mighty Med.” She is a talented pianist as well, and her involvement in musical theater has improved her singing. Zuehlsdorff has so far released a number of singles and one extended play, “Originals,” under the ZMAN INC record label.
Career in Acting
In the 3D family drama film “Dolphin Tale,” directed by Charles Martin Smith, Cozi Zuehlsdorff made her on-screen debut in 2011. The movie, which also stars Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, Morgan Freeman, Nathan Gamble, and Harry Connick Jr., centers on the friendship between Sawyer, a young child played by Gamble, and Winter, a dolphin. It was based on the same-titled book, which itself drew inspiration from real-life occurrences. Actually, the imaginary character was portrayed by the real-life Winter. Hazel Haskett, played by Zuehlsdorff, is the eleven-year-old daughter of Dr. Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr.), who makes friends with Sawyer at the aquarium. The movie was a critical and financial hit, and it gave Zuehlsdorff the perfect platform to start his career. She returned to the role in the 2014 follow-up “Dolphin Tale 2,” along with the majority of the original cast.
She made her small screen debut in 2012 as Crystal Sullenger in what was intended to be the first episode of a brand-new program titled “Bits and Pieces.” Disney Channel produced it, and when it was eventually evolved as a TV series named “Liv and Maddie,” Zuehlsdorff was given a guest role rather than a main role. In the first season (2013), she made appearances in the episodes “Steal-A-Rooney” and “Kang-A-Rooney.”
The superhero comedy TV series “Mighty Med” on Disney XD featured Zuehlsdorff as Jordan, a recurring role. On October 7, 2013, she made her television debut in the pilot episode “Saving the People Who Save People.” On August 5, 2015, she made her last appearance in “Thanks for the Memory Drives,” episode 19 of season two.
She provided the voice of Buttercup in the animated Disney series “Sofia the First” in 2013. In 2015, she gave the character another voice. She provided the voice of a new character—a witch—in one episode the following year. She was included in the “Power of Me” music video in 2014. She also contributed one of the song’s extra voices.
In the 2017 direct-to-video country musical “Pure Country: Pure Heart,” Zuehlsdorff portrayed Piper Spencer. She costarred with Heidi Blickenstaff in the Disney Channel original film “Freaky Friday” in 2018. According to reports, she will feature in the next movie, “Desolate Beauty,” which is based on Trudy Adams’ Christian fiction.
Career in Music
Zuehlsdorff has been a pianist for almost ten years. She was reportedly in Level 9 of the Certificate of Merit program in 2013. She attempted songwriting for the first time that year in November while “Dolphin Tale 2” was being filmed, and she contributed the song “Brave Souls” to the movie’s soundtrack. She released her first EP, “Originals,” on digital platforms on November 27, 2014.
Individual Life
On August 3, 1998, in California, Zuehlsdorff was born in the United States. Lacey Joi Zuehlsdorff is her elder sister. They currently live in Orange County, California, with their parents and dog, Bandit. Zuehlsdorff is a deeply religious person. Her parents choose to homeschool her because of her hectic schedule. June 13, 2016, was her high school graduation date.
Zuehlsdorff’s enthusiasm in performing dates back to her early years. She tried out for the lead role in “Annie” at the age of eight at a local Aliso Viejo, California theater group. She responded to the casting call because she had a childhood passion for musical theater and thought it would be enjoyable. Producers were clearly impressed by her audition because they decided to place her in the lead role. She has since portrayed a number of memorable parts, including Brigitta in “The Sound of Music,” Sally Brown in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” JoJo in “Seussical the Musical,” and Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz.”
