Switched at Birth is staging a family reunion.
Ringer actress Zoey Deutch will join her real-life mother, actress Lea Thompson, on the ABC Family series for at least two episodes, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. The 18-year-old Deutch is the offspring of Thompson and film/television director Howard Deutch (Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful).
Zoey Deutch will play Elisa, an attractive young woman whom Toby (Lucas Grabeel) meets while campaigning for his father, John. Her first episode is slated to air Feb. 18.
Repped by Innovative Artists and Gilbertson Entertainment, Deutch portrayed Juliet Martin on The CW's Ringer for one season and starred in Disney Channel's The Suite Life on Deck. She next appears in the big-screen adaptation Beautiful Creatures.
Switched at Birth airs 8 p.m. Mondays.
