Kiernan Shipka is one of the fastest rising stars in all of Hollywood who burst onto the mainstream through her role in Mad Men. Since then the young actress hasn't looked back, going from strength to strength with her acting ability as she gains more roles and opportunities.
She is a brilliant actress who is set to have a fantastic career in the world of Hollywood, but even at a young age, she has already achieved plenty. She's been part of some huge television series, where she has thrived in a lead role, had a Christmas movie and plenty of voiceover work. In this list, we will take a look at Kiernan Shipka's 10 greatest roles so far in her career based on the ratings they have been given by IMDb.
Sofia The First (2013-2018) - 6.9
Over the course of Kiernan Shipka's career, she has taken part in various voiceover roles, as this list will highlight, and one of those was for the Disney Junior show, Sofia The First. The show was a very popular one amongst young audiences, following Sofia as she learns how to be a princess.
Kiernan got the chance to be part of three episodes of the series, voicing the character of Oona. Her character was actually a mermaid who ends up being friends with Sofia. Kiernan got to bring her youthful fun to this role for the show that is designed for children.
Don't Trust The B---- In The Apartment (2012-2013) - 7.3
While the show didn't have a particularly great title, it did prove to be fairly popular with audiences. Kiernan Shipka was only part of the show for one episode, which was "The Parent Trap" and she actually played herself in the episode.
It was a spoof of the popular parent trap movies that have happened many times, with Kiernan being involved in a father/daughter swap which didn't quite go to plan. It's a funny episode and a good cameo appearance that is certainly memorable.
American Dad! (2005-) - 7.3
Another show that Kiernan Shipka got the opportunity to work on with a voiceover was American Dad! While the show never has quite reached the levels of The Simpsons or Family Guy, it has always proven to be popular with audiences.
Kiernan was just part of one episode on the show, which was titled, "The Witches of Langley." She took on the role of a student in this episode and wasn't a main character that had lots of lines. However, she is part of the show's history.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015-2019) - 7.6
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt proved to be a very popular television series, and Kiernan Shipka got to take part in one episode of the series. She actually played the role of Kymmi, who was Kimmy's half-sister, turning up for the episode, "Kimmy Has A Birthday."
The episode, as the title suggests, focuses on Kimmy's 30th birthday, and her step-father and half-sister travel to New York to spend it with her. Kiernan's character is quite an ungrateful one who isn't alike to her sister at all, but she did provide a fun role throughout the episode.
Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina (2018-) - 7.6
This Netflix show has proven to be Kiernan Shipka's true breakout role as an actress and it really is a great show. While she was already a well-known name, taking on the role of Sabrina Spellman allowed her to burst out on her own as the lead character of the series.
The young actress has done a terrific job with the performance so far as well. The show has proven to be incredibly popular and is set to continue as this world of witches continues to be expanded. Hopefully, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is something that continues to go from strength to strength and could potentially climb this list in years to come.
When Marnie Was There (2014) - 7.7
When Marnie Was There is an Anime movie that proved to be incredibly popular and was the final Studio Ghibli before the company took a hiatus. While the original movie was all done in Japanese, as most big Anime films are, it received an American overlay in order to showcase it to a wider audience.
Kiernan Shipka was hired to provide the voice of Marnie, the lead character of the movie. She is shrouded in mystery and complexity as she gets to meet Anna, with the two characters sharing a bond and slowly learning more about each other.
Family Guy (1999-) - 8.1
Family Guy is one of the greatest animated television series of all time, and countless great actors and actresses have graced the show at some stage in their careers. Kiernan Shipka just so happens to be one of those, as she provided voiceover work for one episode of the show.
She was part of the episode, "The Peter Principal" where she was one of the characters who bullied Meg throughout the episode. She also lent her singing voice to this episode as well as one of the Cheerleaders who sang, but she didn't quite get one of the main roles in the episode.
The Legend Of Korra (2012-2014) - 8.4
Anime is quickly becoming increasingly more popular and The Legend Of Korra was part of that growth. It's a fantastic television series and Kiernan Shipka got the opportunity to be part of it. She provided the voice for the character Jinora.
While it might not be a show that everyone has seen on the mainstream, it is a fantastic series that proved to be very popular. Kiernan's voice is one that is easily distinguishable and she does a great job throughout it.
Feud: Bette And Joan (2017) - 8.5
Feud was set to be a long-term show that was an anthology series, created by Ryan Murphy, but unfortunately at the moment only the first series focusing on the fallout between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford has been created. However, that one season was heavily praised, gaining a high rating on IMDb as well.
Kiernan Shipka got the opportunity to be part of this series, playing the role of Bette Davis' daughter, B.D. Merrill. While she wasn't a main character, Kiernan is featured in five episodes of the show and adds plenty to it doing a great job at taking on a real-life character.
Mad Men (2007-2015) - 8.6
It's not a big surprise to see that Kiernan Shipka's role as Sally Draper in Mad Men is considered to be her best role as an actress. The hit series remains one of the most popular and critically acclaimed television shows of all time, and her role as Sally was a big part of that.
Throughout this series audiences literally got the chance to see Kiernan grow up as an actress, going from a child to a young woman. As she grew in confidence and ability, her character was given more to work with each season, eventually becoming a main character and one of the most interesting parts of the show.
