But now that those days are in the past, you probably forgot some of today’s hottest actors got their start on the Mouse House! Take a walk down memory lane and prepare to be surprised!

Noah Centineo
Before he was the internet’s boyfriend, Noah Centineo was stealing hearts on Disney Channel! He first appeared on Austin & Ally (winning the affection of the lead character Ally Dawson played by Laura Marano in the scene above) and then turned up on Shake It Up.
Brie Larson
Brie Larson has been in the Disney family for a loooong time! One of Captain Marvel’s first big films was the classic DCOM Right On Track in 2003. Epic!
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart earned her very first acting credit for a very small role in The Thirteenth Year in 1999. Blink and you’ll miss her — seriously! She played the girl in the fountain line (LOLz — what a role!) at about 16 seconds into the video. She’s the smallest girl in white (above).
Hayden Panettiere
After her breakout role in the 2000 film Remember the Titans, Hayden Panettiere played Maddie Dolan in the original movie Tiger Cruise in 2004. The actress went on to star in the ABC show Nashville, so she stayed in the Disney family, too!

Years later, he was cast in Remember the Titans. Watch him act alongside a young Justin Timberlake and the girl group Xscape (above)!
