Where Are They Now?
PlayBuzz

Ever wonder where your favorite childhood TV stars are now? Some have continued their path in the acting world and some have chosen other paths. Here are some 90s and 2000s TV characters then and now.

1. Cory and Topanga From Boy Meets World

Everyone’s favorite middle school sweethearts are still head over heels in love with each other. Girl Meets World premiered on Disney Channel in 2014, which continues the story of Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and Topanga Lawrence-Matthews (Danielle Fishel) as they raise their daughter Riley. Is anyone really surprised that they’re still together after all these years?

...and now!

2. Tia and Tamara Mowry from Sister, Sister

The twin sisters are now both married with children after a good run on Disney Channel as teenagers. In 2011, they starred in a reality show titled “Tia and Tamera” on the Style Network which lasted three years and followed their day to day lives. Both Tia and Tamera are continuing to work in Hollywood today, as well as participate in numerous side projects.

...and now!

3. Gordo from Lizzie McGuire

Nothing was better than watching Gordo finally land Lizzie McGuire for preteen girls in 2003. We all know how Hillary Duff is doing these days, but where is Adam Lamberg? Lamberg has stayed out of the spotlight for years now, after completing only two other acting jobs post Lizzie McGuire. He went on to receive bachelors and masters degrees, and is now working at the Irish Arts Center in New York City.

4. Cory from That’s So Raven

Everyone loved watching Cory Baxter prank his sister Raven, jam out to “Feelin' the Love” with Cory and the Boys, and scheme his way into making loads of money on Disney Channel. Cory Baxter was Kyle Massey’s biggest role, giving him fame from not only That’s So Raven, but Cory in the House as well. He also had a small singing career through Disney, providing vocals for some TV show theme songs. Massey took the route that many stars do, joining Dancing with the Stars in 2011. His talent helped him place second in the competition. Who knew he was a triple threat?


5. London Tipton from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

Brenda Song was a fan favorite in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and The Suite Life on Deck as London Tipton. Fans may also remember her roles in Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior and Stuck in the Suburbs on Disney Channel. Beyond those projects, Song appeared in The Social Network, New Girl, and Dads. She once was engaged to Trace Cyrus (Miley’s brother) in 2011, before calling it quits a year later. She is continuing to work in Hollywood and is set to star in the TV show Pure Genius on CBS this coming fall.

...and now!

6. Lilly from Hannah Montana

Emily Osment, who starred as Lilly Truscott in Hannah Montana, can still be found acting. She was the lead in three films in the last three years, and had a recurring role in a television show before the character was killed off. A special Happy 10th Anniversary to Hannah Montana, I will always love you.

Then...

...and now!

7. Mindy from Drake and Josh

Alison Scagliotti’s role as Mindy in Drake & Josh is so under-appreciated, in my opinion. Her sass and quick wit was like no other. Scagliotti has continued to act since her Nickelodeon days, most recently starring in the Freeform crime drama, Stitchers.

Then...

...and now!

8. Cookie from Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide

Who could forget Ned’s goofy sidekick, Cookie, in Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide? Daniel Curtis Lee’s most notable role was definitely as Cookie, as he only went on to make appearances in a few other TV shows afterwards. In recent years, Lee has managed to stay out of the limelight, after a small stint in the music business.

Then...

...and now!

9. Stacy from Zoey 101

Abby Wilde had a small role on Zoey 101, but made a lasting impact on viewers. Her role as Stacy Dillsen, the girl who was obsessed with cotton swabs, made everyone laugh. Wilde made one film in 2009 titled Family of Four, and has since been involved in theater productions.

...and now!


It's good to know that some of the reoccurring characters in millennials' childhoods are still out there entertaining or have started exploring other passions, even though they will always be the same to me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
