"Andi Mack" Cast: Where Are They Now?!
Written by Skylar Zachian. Published: August 23 2022
“Andi Mack” was quite possibly one of the best shows on Disney
Channel. Within 3 seasons (which ran from 2017-2019), the show gave
us loveable characters and explored various important topics such
as sexuality and many kinds of family structures.
Now that it’s been a few years since the show ended, we can’t
help but wonder… what have the “Andi Mack” kids been up to? Are
they all still acting? Who’s headed off to college? Who’s releasing
music? Let’s find out!
1. Peyton Elizabeth
Lee
After playing “Andi Mack"’s title character, Peyton took on
another starring role in the Disney+ original series “Doogie
Kamealoha, M.D”. The series follows Lahela Kamealoha, a 16-year-old
prodigy who has already begun a career in the medical field. In
February, Peyton announced that she would be taking on yet another
leading role alongside Milo Manheim in the Disney
movie Prom Pact; Peyton will play a high school senior who
desperately wishes to go to Harvard. In real life, 18-year-old
Peyton -- a New York native -- will join Columbia University’s
class of 2026!
2. Joshua
Rush
Joshua portrayed Cyrus Goodman, one of Andi Mack’s closest
friends and the first openly gay character on the Disney Channel.
As of now, Joshua is taking a break from acting. The 20-year-old
went to NYU’s Gallatin School and subsequently transferred to the
University of Utah. He is extremely active in politics on and off
campus and is currently working as a communications advisor at
Nevada Democratic Victory.
3. Sofia
Wylie
After playing Andi’s bestie Buffy Driscoll, Sofia’s acting
career began to skyrocket. She appeared in Disney’s Back of the
Net (2019) but you probably know her best these days as Gina
Porter on Disney+'s “High School Musical The Musical -- The
Series”. She also starred as Mia Brooks in the Disney Youtube
Original “SHOOK” and voiced Riri Williams in the animated movie Marvel Rising: Heart of Iron. The 18-year-old can next be
seen in Netflix's The School for Good and Evil, streaming
October 21.
4. Emily
Skinner
After portraying Andi’s nemesis-turned-friend Amber Brown,
Emily Skinner was in the film Next Level alongside “Dance
Moms” star Chloe Lukasiak. You may also recognize
Emily from Secrets in the Water and Saving My
Daughter which are both thriller movies, with 3 more
currently in production.
5. Asher
Angel
Asher will always hold a special place in our hearts as Jonah
Beck, the boy of Andi’s dreams. In addition to acting, he began
releasing songs back when “Andi Mack'' was still airing. He has
given us quite a few singles since, with some of his most popular
hits being “One Thought Away" feat. Wiz Khalifa,
“Chills”, and “All Day”. Asher has become well-known for his entry
into the DCEU as Billy Batson in the movie Shazam! (2019) and we are super excited to see him in
the sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods when it premieres
in December 2022. Also, we can look forward to seeing Asher in the
2023 Hulu film Darby Harper Wants You to Know.
Now that you know what the “Andi Mack” bunch is up to, go
check out their recent projects! Oh yeah, and head over to Disney+
to rewatch the masterpiece that is “Andi Mack”!
