Caitlin Hale
The record we hold on Caitlin Hale is short, and padding it out would only invent things. She played Marta in Richard Linklater's The School of Rock in 2003, one of the classroom of kids assembled around Jack Black's substitute teacher, and that film is the reason anyone looks her up.
Before it she did voice work as Pinch Raccoon in the preschool series PB and J Otter, which is a more common route for a child performer than a Linklater feature is. After it, the credits listed here stop, apart from archive footage of her younger self appearing in the 2016 documentary Richard Linklater: Dream Is Destiny. That is a very ordinary arc for a child actor and not a sad one: the film she was in has outlasted almost everything else released that year.

Where to start with Caitlin Hale
The School of Rock is the reason you are here, and it holds up better than most comedies of its vintage because Linklater treats the children as an ensemble of musicians rather than as props. Hale is in the middle of that group, and the film's charm comes from the fact that everyone in the classroom seems to be reacting honestly.
PB&J Otter is the earlier voice credit and pure preschool television, worth a look only if you grew up with it. Richard Linklater: Dream Is Destiny rounds it off with archive footage and a decent account of how the director works with young performers.
