Lisa Renee Foiles (born September 29, 1986) is an American actress and video game journalist. Foiles has appeared on seasons 7-10 on the popular Nickelodeon series All That. She and three other cast members (Chelsea Brummet, Jack DeSena, and Kyle Sullivan) were the only members to last through seasons 7-10. She also guest-starred in an episode of Malcolm in the Middle as Mallory, the female version of Malcolm.

All That

She was one of the new cast-members of the relaunch cast of All That in season seven. On the show she had many characters such as Claudia, and Kaffy. She was one of the cast-members who stayed on the show from the beginning of the relaunch to the cancellation of the show.

Snick On Air Dare

For seasons 7-9 on All That, Nickelodeon a segment was broadcast during commercial breaks called "Snick On Air Dare", which was similar to the television series Fear Factor. Each segment featured three cast members from All That, in which each of them would be placed in a glass cylinder and one would be randomly chosen to participate in a dare.

In season 7, Lisa had to lay down in a bathtub full of dead fish. After the dare Lisa said, "It was the nastiest thing I had ever done in my life".

In season 8, Lisa had to lay down in a box with her body covered in mud while live frogs hopped on her body for a minute. Also in that season, Lisa had to chew used gum.

In season 9, Lisa competed against Nickelodeon star Drake Bell from Drake and Josh. Both of them had to put their bodies in a giant chili bowl and had to eat the chili. The one who gained more weight would be the winner. After the dare, Lisa lost to Drake Bell. Also that season, Lisa had to compete against a cast member from Zoey 101. Lisa had to dance with clam chowder in her pants. After the dare, Lisa won the dance-off.
