Could you imagine a world where Miley Cyrus wasn't Hannah Montana,
Zac Efron didn't get his head in the game as Troy Bolton, and Demi Lovato never went to Camp Rock? Neither can we.
But of course these now major celebs weren't the only actors who auditioned for these once unknown roles.
Today We're talking about ten stars who almost played iconic Disney Channel roles right here on Listed.
First up let's talk about Joe Jonas. The Joe bro auditioned and was seriously considered for the role of Justin Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place.
Yes, he almost played Selena Gomez's brother, while David Henry got the part,
Joe went on to star in Camp Rock and the Disney channel original series "Jonas" and "Jonas L.A." plus be a musical superstar

Speaking of the Jonas bros and Camp Rock and now seriously famous actress and singer almost played the role of Mitchie in the DCOM
Selena Gomez was offered the lead role in Camp Rock, but turned it down because she wasn't ready to break into music just yet
We're sure she was super stoked when her childhood best friend Demi Lovato got the part.

Now let's talk about a Nickelodeon star just for a second Matthew Underwood from Zoey 101
He auditioned for the role of Troy Bolton in High School Musical, but, come on. Zac Efron was born to play Troy. plus
We can't imagine a world where Zanessa never existed

HSM turn Zac and Vanessa into superstars!
Someone who isn't quite as well known but that you probably recognize from shows like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Shake It Up
is after Sammi Hanratty. Sammi was up for the role of Teddy on Good Luck Charlie
But bridget mendler ended up standing the part, but that wasn't bridget's first Disney gig
you don't look at my real age
I'm not so shallow that I would let something like an age difference come in between us
I'm 2193 years old.
Bridget made her Disney Channel debut playing Justin Russo's vampire girlfriend, Juliet on Wizards of Waverly place
So we're not too surprised to learn that Bridget was also up for the role of Sonny on Sonny with a chance
Demi may have gotten the part, but Bridget still went on to star in her own show
Whammy Jammys!
Whoo Good Luck Charlie
Now time for a brief musical intermission and major throwback

Singer JoJo was up for the role of Hannah Montana
But "Leave (Get Out)" singer said "Yeah, they offered me the role
But it's not really what I see for myself
Her loss. Gossip Girl star and the pretty reckless singer Taylor Momsen was one of the final three actresses up to play Hannah Montana
But we all know that Miley Cyrus went on to have the best of both worlds

However, when Miley first auditioned for the show she read for the role of Lilly Truscott, Hannah Montana's BFF
Emily Osment got the role of Lilly and the Producers even changed the character's name from Zoe Stewart to Miley Stewart
"Ah sweet niblets"
Ashley Tisdale auditioned for both the roles of London Tipton and Maddie Fitzpatrick in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
But the Producers thought Ashley was a better fit for Maddie, plus Brenda Song made a fabulous London
"Are you familiar with the gear shift?"
"You mean the PRNDL"
"the what? The PRNDL!"
And finally Lindsay Lohan was reportedly up for the role of Lizzie McGuire
Hilary Duff got the part
But Lindsay still went on to star in "Mean Girls" plus
"Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen"
"Freaky Friday" and more movies.
Which of these celebs that almost played an iconic Disney Channel role surprised you the most and
If you could have been on any Disney channel show, any at all, which one would you pick?
For me it would be Hannah Montana or in the High School Musical Trilogy.
