Here's Something You Never Knew About Your Favorite Disney Channel Show

Facts About Disney Channel Shows That Will Surprise You

It's hard to imagine a world where Hilary Duff isn't Lizzie McGuire, but as it turns out, she had some stiff competition! [Lindsay Lohan and Sara Paxton](https://www.buzzfeed.com/kelleydunlap/15-surprising-facts-you-never-knew-about-lizzie-mcguire) were also up for the role.

The starring role

_That's So Raven_ was the first Disney Channel series to get over 100 episodes! This was a huge deal, because [most shows before it only got 65 episodes before they ended](https://tv.avclub.com/that-s-so-raven-changed-disney-channel-in-ways-no-one-c-1798247263).

The record-breaker

Ashley Tisdale [originally auditioned for the role of London Tipton](https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a31886/things-you-never-knew-about-the-suite-life-of-zack-and-cody/), but the producers thought she’d be a better fit for the role of Maddie Fitzpatrick. Brenda Song went on to play London.

Zack and Cody

David Henrie is perhaps most well-known for playing Justin Russo on _Wizards of Waverly Place_. However, he's also [credited with writing two of the show's episodes](https://www.thegamer.com/disney-wizards-waverly-place-tidbits/).

The actor turned writer

It's no secret that many Disney Channel stars go on to have successful music careers. Shia LaBeouf claims that Disney [wanted him to have a music career, but he wasn't interested](http://www.mtv.com/news/1556745/shia-labeouf-on-living-down-disney-why-he-wont-do-juwanna-mann-2/).

The refusal

It's not often that art imitates life, but that was certainly the case on _Shake It Up_! Bella Thorne [brought her real-life experience with dyslexia](https://www.understood.org/en/community-events/blogs/in-the-news/2014/12/30/actress-bella-thorne-gives-dyslexia-a-starring-role) to Disney Channel when it was revealed that her character, CeCe, also had dyslexia.

The real-life inspiration

Even though he was only 20 at the time of filming, Joe Jonas still [appeared a little too old to play a 16-year-old.](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/12-shocking-reveals-joe-jonas-660894) Disney made him shave every morning to appear younger.

The morning routine

In the last scene of the series, Miley tells Lilly that she loves her, and Lilly replies, "I know." Emily Osment says she [ad-libbed so she could have the last line in the entire series](https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a12047648/hannah-montana-last-line-emily-osment/).

The last line

The movie _Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama_ was originally supposed to be the end of the series. However, fans [campaigned for a fourth season](https://screenrant.com/kim-possible-trivia-facts-ron-stoppable/), and their efforts proved successful!

The fan involvement

It's hard to forget Sam and Joanna's sweet childhood love story from _Love Actually_. The actors Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Olivia Olson actually reunited years later when they voiced [Ferb and Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, respectively](https://geeks.media/the-love-actually-cast-is-one-big-festive-fandom-crossover-actually).

The _Love Actually_ reunion

Actor Dove Cameron played both Liv and Maddie on the series, but it actually [took three people to make make the two roles come to life](https://www.tvinsider.com/1383/revealed-secrets-of-disneys-identical-twins-comedy-liv-and-maddie/). Dove had two body doubles who would step in for her while she acted as one of the twins. She would then go into hair and makeup to transform for the next part of the scene!

The three twins

_Good Luck Charlie_ made history in 2014 when it featured the [first ever openly gay characters on the Disney Channel](https://www.buzzfeed.com/clairepires/heres-everything-we-know-about-the-first-gay-couple-to-ever).

The time it made history

We know Ariel Winter from her role as Alex Dunphy on _Modern Family_, but she almost joined the cast of _Sonny With a Chance_ when the series was being developed. She would have played [Sonny's younger sister](https://www.j-14.com/posts/all-the-sonny-with-a-chance-secrets-you-never-knew-about/).

The _Modern Family_ connection

Zendaya not only starred in _K.C. Undercover_, but also served as a producer on the show! She said she would love to produce another Disney Channel show and is especially interested in [creating more stories for women and women of color](https://ew.com/tv/2018/02/03/zendaya-kc-undercover-ending/).
