What Have These 5 Former Teen Stars Been Up To Since Finding Fame on Nickelodeon?!
Drake Bell and Josh Peck
I know what you may be thinking, but I’m going to completely surprise you! “Drake & Josh” was not the Nick show this duo got their start on! In fact, it was both Drake Bell and Josh Peck starring on “The Amanda Show” in the very early-2000s that led them to headline their own series a few years later in 2004.
After finding this out, I have certainly been wondering whether starring on Amanda Bynes’s series together might directly have influenced the creation of “Drake & Josh”!
After their Nick shows, the actors went on to star in countless films and shows. Drake Bell starred in one of my favorite parody films, Superhero Movie, in 2008. He also starred in the 2011 live-action TV film adaptation of “The Fairly OddParents” called A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner.
Bell is very involved in the music industry too, having released three albums and many singles, including some in 2018-2019.
Peck has gone on to star in films such as Drillbit Taylor (2008), Red Dawn (2012), and Netflix Original Take the 10 (2017). His TV roles have included a lead part on “Grandfathered” (2015) and appearances on “The Mindy Project” and “The Big Bang Theory.”
Did I also mention he has his own YouTube channel?!
I CANNOT believe they are in their early-30s today! They have come a long way since the early-2000s!
