Ross Lynch

Ross Lynch began his journey to stardom starring on Disney’s “Austin and Ally” from 2011-2016. After playing the charming Austin Moon, Lynch has had much success in entertainment.

 

He has starred in Status Update (2017) and the Teen Beach Movie series on Disney, along with playing a major role on Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”. He even portrayed notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer as a teen in the indie film My Friend Dahmer. Talk about range!

 

 

 

He has gained more prominence for his music, releasing several singles, music videos, and singing on the soundtracks for “Austin and Ally” and the Teen Beach Movie series. He was a member of R5, a band consisting of himself and his siblings, until 2018. Since then, Ross and his brother Rocky are now a part of their own band, The Driver Era.

 

 

 

 

The list doesn’t end here, though! Actresses such as Dove Cameron, Olivia Holt, Zendaya, Demi Lovato, Debby Ryan, and Bridgit Mendler have also built strong acting/musical careers after starting off on Disney Channel shows.
