I love the development process. It’s just such a gift to be able to do that from a very ground level.

How did Jessica Biel become famous?
Timberlake isn’t the only triple threat in the relationship; Biel took dance and voice lessons while she was growing up. “I was just one of those kids who begged and begged. ‘Take me to this commercial-acting class.’ ‘Take me to this play.’ ‘Take me to this audition,’” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2008. “And my parents just supported it.” While she also tried modeling, her big break came when she was cast on the TV series 7th Heaven as Mary Camden, a minister’s daughter. Biel, who was 14 when she first tried out for the show, appeared on all 11 seasons of the series.
