How many of us wished that it was us doing that when we were kids?
Come on, I know I’m not the only teen who had Disney Channel completely taking over
their life.
What’s up you guys, Welcome back to Top 10 Beyond The Screen.
I’m your host Joce and if you don’t know this about me yet, I am a HUGE Disney fan.
Hangout with me until the end of this video and I’ll do some comment shoutouts, and
if you’re new here make sure you hit that subscribe button.
The Disney Channel was my muse in high school which is why I’m excited to get into today’s
video.
Many children, and childish adults like me, dream of being on the Disney channel.
And for many actors, it was the thing that started their whole acting career.
Let’s find out what ended it for some of them with today’s video Top 10 Disney Actors
Hollywood Won’t Hire Anymore.
Let’s get started.
10) Starting off our list at number 10 is Dylan Sprouse who we all came to know and
love in the Disney hit The Sweet Life of Zack & Cody.
Or if you watch the TV show FRIENDS, you would’ve known him as Ben, Ross’s son.
After him and his twin brother Cole grew out of the Disney channel; they both went to start
their own acting careers as individuals.
You can find his brother Cole taking a lead role in the hit TV series Riverdale, but you
can’t find Dylan in anything these days.
Don’t get me wrong, Dylan has been in the media over the years but it hasn’t been
good attention.
It started in 2013 when he dealt with a nude photo scandal; the leak of his nudes almost
shut down the entire internet.
The Disney star was seen by the world with his pants down, literally, when the pictures
were leaked.
He owned up to his actions and made humour of the situation by tweeting out sarcastic
remarks like “whoops, guess Im not 14 and fat anymore”.
His scandals continued but his acting career didn’t.
In 2017 he was caught in a huge cheating scandal with his then girlfriend Dayna Frazer.
She had posted a picture on her Instagram of her crying and the caption read “When
you find out your bf cheated on you lol”.
The story blew up and Dylan tweeted his side to the story which only caused more negative
attention on him.
Ever since, he’s still working in the acting industry booking smaller roles and working
on short films.
It’s a shame we won’t find him on the screen like his twin brother.
9) At number 9 we have Mitchel Musso; best known as Miley Cyrus’s best friend, Oliver
Oken, in the Disney show Hannah Montana.
After Hannah Montana Ended he continued to do some other work on the Disney Channel but
once he grew out of that his acting career quickly faded out.
His career took a big hit because in 2011 , while still filming with Disney, he was
arrested in Burbank California on October 16th.
Apparently he didn’t slow down for a police officer who was directing traffic for an accident,
which had Mitchel pulled over.
That’s when they found that his blood-alcohol level was higher than the legal limit.
Not only that but Musso was under the legal drinking age of 21 so any alcohol in his system
would’ve been charged as illegal anyways.
He was charged with a maximum of 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine for both misdemeanor
counts.
Some believe he should’ve been charged more since it was technically a DUI and he could’ve
killed someone.
He was released on $5000 bail and returned back to court in November.
He hasn’t had much of a career ever since.
He finished some work voicing on the show Phineas and Ferb back in 2014.
Since then, between the years 2016-2018 he did voice over work for 3 episodes on a Tv
show called Milo Murphey’s Law.
I’ve never heard of it… have you?
8) Taking over the number 8 spot is Anneliese Van Der Pol, known for her role as Chelsea
Daniel’s on Disney’s hit That’s So Raven.
I loved her on this show she was absolutely hilarious; I always wondered what happened
to her after the show ended.
Well apparently what happened was that in 2006 she was arrested for driving under the
influence, with a whopping blood-alcohol level of .19; with the legal limit being 0.08.
Yikes, there’s no flirting your way out of that one.
She was arrested on July 10th after colliding with a parked car which caused a domino effect
in which she hit two additional vehicles as well.
The police report states “After hitting the parked vehicle, the Defendant then lost
control of her vehicle, travelled across the roadway, and finally collided with another
vehicle”.
The court offered her 26 months’ probation and ordered her to pay $2,844 dollars in fines
and required her to attend and complete an alcohol education program.
There was no way this wouldn’t affect her career.
Over the years she continued working in the industry but nothing in Hollywood that brought
her to the big screen.
She did return to Disney channel with the spin-off for That’s So Raven, as her returning
character as Chelsea.
So it looks like Disney is giving her a second chance, but she’ll only ever be known for
her one role.
She has yet to make her mark in Hollywood.
And In all honesty, they couldn’t cast anyone else for her returning role… it just wouldn’t
make sense.
7) In at number 7 we have Ryan Merriman.
He might be known for his starring role in the movie Final Destination 3, however, before
that he was a star on the Disney Channel.
If you’re a true Disney channel fan you would’ve seen him in the movies Smart House,
The Luck Of The Irish, and A Ring of Endless Light.
But like the other Disney stars on this list he also found himself in trouble with the
law.
Back in 2011, he was arrested in Newport Beach after police suspected her was driving under
the influence.
It seems to be a pattern with these celebrities and feeling the need to drive drunk.
According to the reports that TMZ shared; he was originally pulled over because he didn’t
stop behind the line at a red light.
Once the cops began talking with him they suspected he wasn’t sober.
He was arrested and taken to a nearby police station where he spent the night in jail.
It seems like spending some time in a jail cell was a wakeup call for him because he
hasn’t been in trouble with the law ever since.
During the arrest he was filming some episodes for his supporting role on Pretty Little Liars.
After his time on the show, he went on the book some short movies and pilot TV series,
but nothing that was produced by Hollywood directors or any that made it to a big screen.
His latest booking was in 2018 where he was the host for a game show called The Jurassic
Games.
It’s nice to see him still pursuing acting, but it’s a shame his last major Hollywood
booking was back in 2014 when his role on Pretty Little Liars ended.
6) Up next at number 6 we have Mischa Barton.
She’s mostly known for her role on the TV series The OC, but it was the Disney Channel
that threw her into the spotlight.
At the age of 17, she took a lead role in the Disney Channel Movie “A Ring Of Endless
Light”. (the same one our number 6 actor starred in as well).
Most young girls would’ve killed for her place in the spotlight, but she looks back
on it as a time that took a turn for the worse.
She claims her mentality at the time was “work hard, play hard”.
She said she also felt intense pressure from her popularity and she could feel she was
headed towards a mental breakdown.
Her successful acting career continued after she moved on from Disney, and so did her partying.
In 2007 she was arrested for a DUI, and then 2 years later she blacked out while taking
a sedative and ended up in the Cedars- Sinai Medical Centre Psychiatric Ward.
The star began threatening suicide and couldn’t handle all the criticism she was facing from
the media.
She took time to work on herself and also her career.
After the OC, she went on the book some acting work but nothing that you would probably know
of.
Her IMDB shows a long list of acting bookings, but they are all for small projects, short
videos, or movies that never came out.
Rumour has it we might see her face pop up in the MTV reality series The Hills: New Beginnings,
but she wasn’t hired as an actor, she just so happens to hang around some of the other
celebrity cast members.
I’m actually kinda sad about this one I really liked her on the OC; I think we could’ve
been seeing her in big movies still.
Maybe she’ll make a comeback?
5) Half way through our list at number 5 is Debby Ryan.
She first stole our hearts when she joined the Disney cast on The Suite Life on Deck
and became the newest Disney Darling.
She starred alongside the Sprouse twins until that series ended and she landed the lead
role in her own Disney Channel series called Jessie.
For years she was holding that innocent and clean image that Disney had, but that went
out the window when she got arrested.
Back in 2016, TMZ reported that the 22 year old actress was driving in LA around 11pm
when she made a left turn and slammed into a Mercedes.
The driver in the other car claims they got hurt which caused cops to arrest Ryan for
a felony DUI.
Not just a DUI, a FELONY DUI.
This broke the news which completely shattered her Disney Star reputation that everyone knew
her for.
Once the police found out the injury was minor, her charge was brought down to a misdemeanor.
Her report also confirmed that her blood-alcohol level was .11 which was over the legal limit;
proving that she was infact driving under the influence when she hit another car.
She was charged with 2 criminal offences and tried to save her career by taking it to Twitter,
apologizing for her actions and saying she hopes she can make things better.
She booked a few short films in 2017, and was given another chance in 2018 when she
worked on the Netflix series Insatiable.
Turns out it didn’t do so well and another season was not picked up.
It received a whopping 12% on rotten tomatoes.
4) Sliding into the number 4 spot is David Henrie, best known for his role on the Disney
show Wizards of Waverly Place, where he acted alongside Selena Gomez, playing her older
brother.
He has always presented himself in a mature and responsible manner, but I guess he is
an actor.
Fans were shocked when the news broke that Henrie ended up in jail.
It first started in 2010 when David and his younger brother Lorenzo were arrested and
held at the jail for starting a domestic fight.
Turns out what happened was that security guards had pinned his brother to the ground
because he was acting out of control.
David began yelling and acting aggressive towards the security guards, who ended up
throwing punches back and forth with him.
The two brothers were eventually released and the Disney star faced a lot of heat from
the industry and fans.
His career never took off after that and if he was going to make a comeback he ruined
it last year in 2018 when he was arrested once again for possession of a loaded gun.
In September of 2017 he was arrested at 9:05am at Terminal 2 in the LAX airport.
TSA officers went through his bag and found the firearm; where he was then sent to the
LAPD Pacific Division Jail.
He was eventually released with his court date where he will face charges for the loaded
firearm.
He took it to Twitter saying he “unintentionally” brought his gun which he legally owns and
is registered to his name.
Now is NOT the time to be arrested for having a gun.
Not a good look man.
3) Alright guys, at number 3 we have Brian Bonsall, who you might recognize as the boy
from Disney Channel’s iconic movie Blank Check.
It was the hilarious movie where his character was mistakenly given $1 million dollars and
goes on an epic kid shopping spree; we all envied him as kids let’s not pretend.
His career took off and he ended up taking lead roles in the TV series Family Ties, and
also Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Most would say that he was on top of the world.
Apparently that was ending sooner than we all thought as he began turning to punk rock,
partying, and drugs, by moving home to Colorado and attending school like a regular kid.
On March 28th 2007, he was first arrested on charges of assaulting his girlfriend; he
was found guilty and sentenced to 2 years of probation on August 31st.
Only 2 years later he was arrested again.
On December 7th 2009, Bonsall was arrested for 3rd degree assault and failure to appear
in connection with the 2007 assault on his other girlfriend.
Just when you think that’s the lowest he can go, In February 2010, he was arrested
on charges for using marijuana in violation of the terms of his release; he was sentenced
to another 2 years of probation in April.
SO I think it’s safe to say he won’t be making a comeback with a record history like
that.
2) In at number 2 we have Lalaine who you might know as Hilary Duff’s BFF in the Disney
series Lizzie McGuire.
The show skyrocketed the whole cast into fame and it appeared like the world was at their
fingertips.
However, not long after the show stopped airing, Lalaine completely vanished from the public
eye.
She didn’t even appear in the big screen release of The Lizzie McGuire Movie.
She did an interview with Huffington Post where she refers to the years after Disney
Channel as dark.
She claims she went nuts and made bad decisions, one of them which had her get arrested for
the felony possession of crystal meth in 2008.
Things got even worse for the young starlet as she was a no-show for her court date appearance.
That’s when the judge issued a $50,000 bench warrant for her arrest.
Last we heard about the case was that she enrolled in the Asian American Drug Abuse
Program.
Her IMDB shows that she is now working on some smaller projects, but her record remains
with a serious felony charge that she can’t undo.
1) Taking the number 1 spot on our list is Stoney Westmoreland in the Disney show Andi
Mack.
I think we often forget that not all Disney stars are kids.
The young characters we all love have to have parents, teachers, and older influences in
their lives, right?
Well, that’s where Westmoreland comes in as he plays the grandfather on the hit show.
On December 15th, 2018 he was arrested for allegedly trying to have sex with a person
he believed was just 13 years old, keep in mind he’s 49 years old.
While chatting with the teen online, Utah Police say he sent pornographic photos to
the minor and asked the young teen to engage in sexual acts with him and send nude photos.
On his way over to meet the teen he was in a ride-sharing service where investigators
say he planned to bring her to his hotel room, which is when the Salt Lake City Police Department
and FBI Child Exploitation Task Force arrested him.
He was charged with 4 counts, that are all considered 3rd degree felonies.
Following his arrest Disney Channel confirmed that his role on the show has been terminated.
I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in Hollywood anytime soon.
Alright guys, that’s all I got.
