Jodie Lee Ann Sweetin (born January 19, 1982) is an American actress known for her role as Stephanie Tanner on the television sitcom "Full House".

Career

Born in Los Angeles, California, Sweetin first stepped into show business by appearing in film and television. She first appeared in an Oscar Mayer hot dog commercial when she was four years old. Her debut role was in "Valerie" in 1987, in which she played Pamela, the niece of Mrs. Poole. She also provided the voice of Sally Brown in "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown". Jeff Franklin cast her as Stephanie Tanner in "Full House" in 1987, and she was on the show until its end in 1995. After the show's finale, Sweetin went to high school and went on to attend Chapman University in Orange, CA. Sweetin hosted the second season of the Fuse TV show "Pants-Off Dance-Off". She is now starring in a TV pilot, "Small Bits of Happiness," a dark comedy centered around a suicide prevention specialist; it won Best Comedy at the 3rd Annual Independent Television Festival in Los Angeles.

Sweetin's catch phrases on "Full House" as Stephanie were "How rude!", "Hot dog," and "Well, pin a rose on your nose." Throughout the years, she has stayed in touch with most of the cast: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who played her younger sister Michelle on the show, as well as Candace Cameron Bure (elder sister D.J.), Bob Saget (Danny), John Stamos (Jesse), Dave Coulier (Joey), Lori Loughlin (Becky) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy). She "grew up" during "Full House"s 8 seasons, acting as she aged from 5 to 13.

Jodie was also seen as part of the audience that attended Comedy Central's "The Roast of Bob Saget" which aired on August 17, 2008. At her table were her husband Cody and close friends Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin. The roast was hosted by John Stamos. To "Full House" fans, this was seen as a mini-reunion, as this is the first time in years that so many in the cast have been seen together onscreen (Candace Cameron, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen weren't able to attend).

Jodie just finished shooting a movie entitled Port City, which is to be released sometime in 2009. Sweetin is also due to begin filming another movie in the spring of 2009. Jodie and her husband Cody have also begun shooting for their new reality television series. The main focus of their reality series will be Sweetin getting back into show business and Jodie's role as a mother. No final title, broadcast date, or airing network have been announced for the reality series.

Personal life

She married Shaun Holguin Houston, a Los Angeles police officer, when she was 20 years old. Fellow "Full House" castmate Candace Cameron attended Sweetin's bridal party and served as her matron of honor, with Cameron's daughter Natasha serving as a flower girl.Fact|date=June 2008.
