Amber Frank (formerly known as Amber Montana) plays Lucky Prescott, the central protagonist of the original 'Spirit Riding Free' series, which sees a headstrong young girl connect to an equally headstrong horse named Spirit — a character first seen in the Oscar-winning 'Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'. Amber Frank's Hollywood career began early at the age of eight with her role in 2007's 'She Could Be You'. Her breakout role came on 'The Haunted Hathaways', for which she was nominated for several awards for her performance as Taylor Hathaway.

Gambertoglio has had a love for acting that has lasted nearly all of her life. She has made a name for herself as a voice actor on various video games and television series, most notably 'Transformers: Robots in Disguise', 'Bubble Guppies' and 'Whisker Haven Tales with the Palace Pets'.
