You Totally Forgot THESE Stars Were in Disney Channel Original Movies, Didn’t You?

Disney Channel has provided us with a ton of amazing DCOMs over the years.

So many that it's hard to keep track them all, especially when it comes to remembering who starred in which movie.

Sit back and relax, because we're here to reveal which actors you totally forgot were in DCOMs. Keep scrolling, and prepare to be mind-blown.

Raven-Symoné

Before she was a Cheetah Girl, Raven-Symoné starred in Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. She played Zenon's BFF, Nebula, who tried her very best to keep the adventurous Zenon out of trouble. She was all sorts of sassy and had one heck of a wardrobe. If only this DCOM actually predicted what the future would be like.

Ryan Merriman

You know Ryan Merriman as Ian Thomas from Pretty Little Liars. Back in the day, he was in not one, but three iconic DCOMs: Smart House, The Luck of the Irish and A Ring of Endless Light. Our personal fave is def Smart House, because we need our own tech-savvy home.

Kaley Cuoco

Kaley Cuoco is best known for her role as Penny on The Big Bang Theory. But before that, she was in the DCOM Alley Cats Strike. The movie was certainly unique, considering it focused on a bowling rivalry between two different friend groups. Who knew bowling could be so competitive?

Brenda Song

Brenda Song is practically Disney Channel royalty. She played the hilarious London Tipton on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and The Suite Life on Deck. She also starred in five iconic DCOMs—The Ultimate Christmas Present, Get a Clue, Stuck in the Suburbs, Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior and The Suite Life Movie. It's hard to pick a fave, but we do really love the accurate portrayal of what it's like to have a celeb crush on Stuck in the Suburbs.

Danielle Panabaker

Brenda wasn't the only notable actress in Stuck in the Suburbs. The Flash's Danielle Panabaker starred alongside Brenda in the DCOM. Danielle was also in another flick with her sister, Kay Panabaker, called Read It and Weep, where she played the fictional character from her sister's novels.

Steven R. McQueen

Right before he stole our hearts as Jeremy Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries, Steven R. McQueen was in the DCOM Minutemen with Chelsea Kane and Jason Dolley. He played the popular jock boyfriend of Chelsea's character in this time travel-focused movie.

America Ferrera

One of America Ferrera's very fist roles was in Gotta Kick It Up!—an inspiring tale following the success of a high school dance team. Not too long after that, she went on to star in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Hayden Panettiere

You love her as Juliette Barnes on Nashville, but we bet you totally forgot Hayden Panettiere starred in the DCOM Tiger Cruise. The film is much more somber than most, focusing on a naval carrier that's called back into battle after 9/11.

Gregg Sulkin

A totally underrated DCOM, Gregg Sulkin starred alongside Britt Robertson in Avalon High. After moving to a new school, Britt's character discovers she and her new friends are involved in the reincarnation of King Arthur.

Naomi Scott

If you saw the Power Rangers movie this year and wondered why Kimberly the Pink Ranger looked so familiar, it's because Naomi Scott was in the masterpiece Lemonade Mouth with Bridgit Mendler, Adam Hicks, Hayley Kiyoko and Blake Michael. Next up, Naomi will star as Princess Jasmine in the live-action remake of Aladdin.

Danielle Campbell

The Originals actress made her Disney Channel debut as Jessica Olson in StarStruck, where her character gets stuck looking after a famous pop star she doesn't care too much about. The dream!
