"If Sarah Hyland's parents had gotten their way, she never would've become an actress. \"They were totally against it,\" reveals the 21-year-old star of ABC's Emmy Award\u2013winning show Modern Family, and Disney Channel's Geek Charming, which you can catch on November 26th at 8 PM, ET/PT. \"My dad is an actor, so they know how tough the entertainment industry can be.\"\n\nThankfully, she convinced them to let her give it a shot. Sarah's big break came a few years ago, after the then-eighteen-year-old New York City native moved to Los Angeles. \"I gave myself two months to book a job. One month later I was cast on Modern Family,\" she says. On the show, she plays shallow and boy-crazy Haley Dunphy, a character she swears she doesn't relate to at all in real life. In Geek Charming, Sarah stars alongside her real-life boyfriend, Matt Prokop. In Geek Charming, Sarah plays super-spoiled Dylan, a character she swears is more than meets the eye. \"At first Dylan is super catty and spoiled, but it's just a persona,\" she says. As for working with her boyfriend? \"It was so much fun working with him. Whenever we had a long day it was great to have him on set too.\"\n\nBut both Sarah and Haley Dunphy do have a knack for always speaking their mind. Recently, Sarah found herself unexpectedly caught in the center of a media storm after doing an impression of Lea Michele's red-carpet poses on E!'s Fashion Police. \"I'm the type of person who just says things in the moment,\" she explains. \"I tried to clear everything up, but it didn't really work. I wasn't going to be able to make everyone happy, so I had to let it pass.\"\n\nWhen it comes to dealing with Hollywood's impossibly high beauty standards, she has an equally honest outlook. \"I wish I was taller or curvier, but I'm happy with the way I look,\" she says. Given her low-key attitude, it's not surprising that Sarah credits her flawless skin to drugstore buys. \"I love Neutrogena's Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes. They get all my makeup off and are really moisturizing,\" she says. As for playing up her signature doe eyes, she relies on CoverGirl mascara and an eyelash curler to do the job. \"My eyes are so big that, weirdly, I feel like an alien if my eyelashes don't match their intensity. I like to curl my lashes to the point where they're sticking straight up and then put on a ton of mascara!\" While the alien comparison seems a little (OK, a lot) off base, this otherworldly beauty's star is definitely on the rise."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
