Katharine McPhee
Kat McPhee came in fifth during her season of “American Idol” — nowhere near the top. But McPhee went on to star in “The House Bunny,” “Shark Night: 3D,” and the TV series, “Smash”.

The Idol thing obviously played into that, but you keep working and you keep your chops up and become more and more comfortable”.
