Early life and career

Born in Gainesville, Florida, Brittany is five minutes older than her twin sister Cynthia. The two also have an older brother, Brad (born in 1968).¹By age 11, both girls began modeling and appeared in Seventeen and YM. They first began acting in the 1980s with an appearance in the sitcom The New Leave It to Beaver. In 1992, when she was sixteen, Daniel won the role of Mila Rosnovsky on the short-lived syndicated teen drama Swan's Crossing. She then moved to New York to film the series. After high school, Daniel landed the role of Jessica Wakefield in the television series Sweet Valley High (sister Cynthia portrayed Jessica's twin sister, Elizabeth) along with a Doublemint gum campaign. During the run of Sweet Valley High, the girls made their film debut in the drama The Basketball Diaries (1995) alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.²

After Sweet Valley High was canceled in 1997, Daniel continued acting in films and television series including a stint on Dawson's Creek in 1999 and a role in the TBS television movie On Hostile Ground the following year. In 2001, she appeared David Spade's love interest, Brandy, in Joe Dirt. In 2002, Daniel played one of the lead characters in short-lived FOX series That '80s Show. She also appeared on the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as a transexual named Carmen. In 2006, she teamed up with the Wayans Brothers for their films White Chicks and Little Man.³ That same year, she appeared in the VH1 television movie Totally Awesome before landing a recurring role in The CW Television Network's half hour comedy The Game.⁴
