BILLI BRUNO
Gracie on the ABC Television Network's "According to Jim"

Billi Bruno, age eleven, has played the irrepressible Gracie opposite Jim Belushi and Courtney Thorne-Smith in the ABC family comedy, "According to Jim," for more than half her life.

When Billi was barely in her "mid-threes," she would tag along with her two older sisters when they auditioned for acting roles. After memorizing her sister's lines during their auditions, she pleaded with her parents to let her audition on her own. After only her first audition, her tenacity and charm paid off, as she's now entering her seventh season on "According to Jim."

Billi lives in Los Angeles with her mom and dad and her two sisters. Not only is she on the set five days a week, she also takes gymnastics and loves to swim and ride her horse. She has a big imagination which lends itself to writing her own stories. She also has a gift for drawing.

Billi appeared in country music star Brad Paisley's music video, "Celebrity," as well as in numerous national commercials. When not working on her series, she enjoys working in children's theater. When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Billi's response is -- "I'm going to be on 'According to Jim' forever."
