Career
Early career DeLizia got her start in acting at the age of five doing theater productions. She was later discovered and starred regularly in the WB's Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher. Later she had guest spots on Mad About You, 7th Heaven, The West Wing (in "The Stackhouse Filibuster"), Strong Medicine, and ER. She has also starred in several TV movies and had minor roles in several motion pictures such as Sleepless in Seattle and Avalon. She co-starred in You're Invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley's Sleepover Party, starring former Full House stars Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.
So Weird In her breakout role on So Weird, DeLizia played Fiona "Fi" Phillips, an adolescent girl fascinated with the paranormal. She left the show after the first two seasons and was replaced by Alexz Johnson. The show had been "darker" for a Disney show in the vein of The X-Files, but when DeLizia departed, the show took on a lighter tone for the remainder of its run.
Later work DeLizia's other major role was as Marcy Kendall on the FOX drama Boston Public, where she played the assistant to Chi McBride's Principal Harper.
She voiced Z, a minor character introduced in the spinoff Rugrats series, All Grown Up. In 2002, DeLizia co-starred in Anna's Dream alongside former Caitlin's Way star Lindsay Felton.
Personal life In December 2009, she married Nick Rich.
