Little Loca Scores TV Deal
Stevie Ryan, a star on YouTube and LiveVideo for her character Little Loca, has been signed as a co-host of a new CW reality series. Ryan is a master at developing characters in short form — check out this recent tour de force (the third character is Little Loca):
The show, called Online Nation, is to be “a sort of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” for the YouTube generation,” according to Variety.
Other hosts include Rhett McLaughlin and Link Nealhe, and Joy Leslie, according to the L.A. Times.
Ryan, an aspiring actress who recently moved to Los Angeles, writes on her website, “I bought my first computer in Jan. of 2006 and that’s when it all began. I found an editing program on y computer, figured out how to hook my camera up, and started making little movies.”
