Emily Osment on Nick Jonas’ Disney Channel Games Comments

by

Emily Osment is happy to call the final whistle on the Disney Channel Games.

However, due to the revival spearheaded by former Disney colleague Nick Jonas, the once popular special event that pitted network stars against each other during the summer season from 2006 to 2008 is experiencing a resurgence of interest.

Emily humorously said during her exclusive interview with Will Marfuggi at CBS Fest on May 7, “I’ve pushed that so far into the recesses of my mind.” She added, “I’ve made such an effort to forget about it, I can’t understand why it keeps resurfacing.

She went on to say, “I’ve got a little issue with Nick Jonas that I’d like to address, if you don’t mind, as we’re moving past it.” (For further updates from CBS Fest, catch TopMob News tonight, May 8 at 11 p.m.)

Unlike Emily, who had a distinctly different memory of the event compared to a Jonas Brothers member who described it as “Love Island on crack,” the Jonas Brothers member’s experience was not quite the same as Emily’s.

The 33-year-old jokingly commented, ‘A seven-day trip to Disneyland that left us drenched, but unpaid for it.’ However, they did add, ‘It was quite enjoyable,'” (For more on CBS Fest, catch TopMob News tonight, May 8 at 11 p.m.).

The current show, “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” a spinoff of “Young Sheldon,” for which the former Hannah Montana star has more cherished memories, is set to have its second season soon.

In my own words, I’m thrilled to share that, much like Montana Jordan expressed to TopMob about our upcoming second season this fall, it’s nothing short of amazing. We feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this remarkable show and to be welcomed into the CBS family.

Meanwhile, Emily is excited about her character’s current career trajectory.

Mandy’s presenting the weather is a real delight to me, as she’s back on Channel 7 doing just that. It’s been an enjoyable experience for me. I mean, working with the green screen, rocking my cowboy boots, and being a little silly – that’s what I enjoy most about it.

Additionally, the CBS series offers Emily an opportunity to reconnect with her on-screen past by performing before a live audience.

She mentioned that she has worked extensively with multiple cameras, including some projects for Disney. She went on to say that multi-camera work offers a unique vibe compared to single-camera productions. In a multi-camera setup, they anticipate performing a theatrical piece every Tuesday evening, which she finds quite special.

For more on what fomer child stars, like Emily, are up to today, keep reading.

In the early ’90s, Jonathan Taylor Thomas gained recognition for his portrayal of the intelligent and endearing middle child Randy Taylor on the popular sitcom “Home Improvement“. During this period, he also made significant appearances in films, such as providing the voice for young Simba in “The Lion King“, although it was not his own singing voice. He teamed up with Brad Renfro in the 1995 film “Tom and Huck“, and later worked alongside Devon Sawa in the 1997 movie “Wild America“.

Instead of leaving “Home Improvement” in 1998 (where Randy headed off to Costa Rica), he dedicated himself fully to his studies, yet continued acting in various extracurricular activities.

In the year 2004, he played a recurring character on the show “8 Simple Rules,” and then, in 2013, he collaborated once more with his television father, Tim Allen, directing (and acting in) several episodes of “Last Man Standing.

Even though Justin Timberlake (JTT) chose to step away from the limelight and lead a private life, including his graduation from Columbia in 2010, it doesn’t take much for him to make headlines: Whenever the paparazzi manage to capture a glimpse of him, those images quickly become popular online.

At such a young age, Lipnicki has made quite a significant impact in the film industry, especially given his notable performances. He managed to keep pace with Tom Cruise in terms of charm in ‘Jerry Maguire’, and almost matched him in memorable lines. After appearing in movies like ‘Stuart Little’, ‘Doctor Dolittle’ (providing the voice for Baby Tiger), ‘The Little Vampire’, ‘Little Mike’, and a guest role on ‘Dawson’s Creek’, Lipnicki decided to take a break from acting to enjoy a typical high school experience.

As an adult, he continues his career in the entertainment industry, appearing in the 2023 Lifetime film titled “Secrets at the Museum“. This Los Angeles native is not only a skilled practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu with a black belt, but also lent his services by volunteering for enhanced security outside a midtown synagogue in May 2021, during a surge of anti-Semitic vandalism and intimidation.

Back in 2017, I took to Instagram to share my personal journey of facing bullying during my middle school years. My intention was to offer solace and understanding to those who might be going through similar experiences, by openly discussing my own struggles.

1. “He was mercilessly teased by some children who later attempted to befriend him on Facebook after presumably forgetting their past mistreatment.”

2. “He was constantly ridiculed by a group of kids, only for them to try and connect with him on Facebook years later.”

3. “These kids used to make fun of him endlessly, but eventually they sought friendship with him through Facebook.”

4. “He was repeatedly mocked by several kids; however, it seemed that they had forgotten about their actions as they reached out to him via Facebook.”

Regarding the second sentence:

1. “He remembered being told he was a washed-up talent and would never secure another job,” he said.

2. “He recounted being told that his career was over and no more roles would come his way,” he added.

3. “He recalled being informed that he had reached the end of his acting career and would not book any more jobs,” he stated.

4. “He brought up an instance where someone told him he had no future in show business and wouldn’t land another gig,” he mentioned.

Regarding the last sentence:

1. “Despite going through panic attacks every night due to anticipating more humiliation, he persevered and expressed gratitude for his fulfilling life.”

2. “He endured nightly panic attacks due to fear of further embarrassment, but managed to find solace in the life he had built.”

3. “Though he experienced panic attacks each night because of the potential for more humiliation, he found joy and gratitude in the life he lived.”

4. “Even with daily panic attacks due to fear of future ridicule, he managed to maintain a positive outlook on his life and its blessings.”

Wilson starred in Mrs. Doubtfire at 6 and Matilda at 9 before putting acting on the back burner.

2016 saw the publication of the memoir “Where Am I Now?: True Tales of Girlhood and Unexpected Celebrity” by a writer and activist. She also graced the screens on “Broad City”, lent her voice to animated series like “BoJack Horseman”, “Big Hero 6: The Series”, and “Helluva Boss”.

Previously, an individual I thought of as a friend posed to me, displaying a broad grin, “How does it feel that you’ve reached your pinnacle?” Wilson reflected in a February 2021 op-Ed for the New York Times on the pitfalls of early fame for young women. “At the time, I didn’t know how to respond, but now I would say that question is misguided. I haven’t peaked, because for me, The Story isn’t being dictated by someone else anymore. I have the power to write it myself.

By the time Gordon-Levitt took on the role of Tommy Solomon, an extraterrestrial mission member disguised as a typical human family member, on “3rd Rock From the Sun”, he had already accumulated significant acting experience. This series made its debut in 1996, which was also the year that saw him portray Demi Moore’s son in the thriller “The Jury”.

In the late 90s, he portrayed a lovestruck character in the movie “10 Things I Hate About You.” Later, in 2004, he took on the role of a streetwise character in “Mysterious Skin.” Additionally, he starred as a determined teenage detective trying to solve the mystery of his ex-girlfriend’s disappearance in the 2005 drama “Brick.

Gordon-Levitt, who appears youthful even in his thirties, has made a name for himself playing adult roles. Notable performances include “500 Days of Summer,” “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” “Inception,” “50/50,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Looper,” “Lincoln,” “Don Jon” (which he also wrote and directed), and “Snowden.” In 2020, he delved into real-life moments in history as a prosecutor in “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and portrayed Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick in the series “Super Pumped.

He quietly married Tasha McCauley in 2014 and they share two children.

Due to her exceptionally mature acting at the age of 12 in the film “The Professional” released in 1994, Portman quickly gained a sense of seriousness and importance, which she has continued to uphold throughout her career. Since making her impressive debut, she’s appeared in major blockbusters like the Star Wars prequels (Episodes I through III) and the Thor series, as well as independent films such as “Beautiful Girls” and “Garden State”, comedies including “Mars Attacks!” and “Your Highness”, intense dramas like “Closer” and “Brothers”, and apocalyptic thrillers such as “V for Vendetta” and “Annihilation”.

In 2010, she won the Best Actress Oscar for her role as a ballerina who was losing her sanity in the film “Black Swan.” She also received another nomination for portraying Jacqueline Kennedy following the loss of her husband, in the movie “Jackie.” In 2015, she made her directorial debut with the feature film “A Tale of Love and Darkness,” which was based on Amos Oz’s autobiographical novel.

In 2012, she tied the knot with her choreographer, Benjamin Millepied, and they have a son named Aleph and a daughter called Amalia. However, they ended their marriage in 2024 by getting divorced.

Known primarily as the child of Jon Cryer’s character (divorcee) and Charlie Sheen’s nephew on the popular sitcom ‘Two and a Half Men’ in the 2000s, Jones gained notoriety. In 2012, a video emerged online where Jones criticized the show, labeling it as “filth.” The video was part of a 15-minute spiritual testimony for Forerunner Chronicles, an Alabama-based Seventh-day Adventist ministry.

Later on, Jones expressed his regret for behaving carelessly towards my coworkers, failing to show proper respect, and not fully acknowledging the remarkable chance that I’ve been given.

The actor soon left the series, but returned for the finale in 2015.

As a lifestyle advisor, let me share my personal perspective: During my stint as a regular cast member on the popular CBS sitcom, I was reportedly earning an impressive $350,000 per episode in my final season. However, I recently confided to Houston-based station KHOU that the show often trivialized significant issues in our society, which were genuine concerns for many people. I admitted that I was, in essence, a paid hypocrite because I wasn’t comfortable with this lighthearted treatment of serious matters, yet I continued to participate.

Prior to earning an unacknowledged appearance in the Max series ‘Bookie’ in 2023, his last acting credit was the 2016 limited series of Louis C.K., titled ‘Horace & Pete.’

In an interview with People in 2016, Jones shared that he studied at the University of Colorado at Boulder, leading what he described as an ordinary life. He further mentioned, “For quite some time, my thoughts were rather apocalyptic, but now I’m just having a good time and appreciating where I am.” He concluded by expressing, “I no longer feel like every move I make could detonate a landmine.

As a die-hard fan, it’s fascinating to consider actors who could have become synonymous with one legendary role. Yet, Daniel Radcliffe has impressively challenged this status quo by embracing diverse roles beyond Harry Potter. On stage, he showcased his talent in intense dramas like Equus and The Cripple of Inishmaan, as well as the classic musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In film, he transformed into the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings and a flatulent corpse in Swiss Army Man. On TV, he portrayed an opioid-addicted physician in A Young Doctor’s Notebook. Radcliffe continues to prove that there’s more to him than just Potter!

More recently, he concluded a four-season stint on “Miracle Workers,” starred as the main character in “The Al Yankovic Story” and reappeared on Broadway in “Merrily We Roll Along.

On a personal note, Radcliffe is dad to a son with longtime partner Erin Darke.

At about six years old, she first appeared on screen in the spinoff of the Andy Griffith Show, called Mayberry R.F.D.. This was followed by her initial Oscar nomination at 14 for her role as a victim of exploitation by a sinister pimp in the movie Taxi Driver. The character’s tragic situation was the motivator behind the violent actions taken by Robert De Niro‘s character, Travis Bickle. In 1976, Foster also starred in the original Freaky Friday, a drastic change from the darker tones of Taxi Driver. This role solidified her status as a mainstream child star.

After a brief hiatus, the diligent student went on to study at Yale. Following this, she resumed her journey with renewed vigor and clinched her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, portraying a gang-rape victim who pursued justice against her assailants in the 1988 film “The Accused”. Subsequently, she made her mark as a feature film director with “Little Man Tate” in 1991. A year later, she garnered another Oscar for Best Actress for her role as a tenacious FBI trainee in “The Silence of the Lambs” (1992).

At the 2013 Golden Globes, the actress-turned-filmmaker received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. In recent years, she has taken on more directing roles for television, overseeing episodes of “House of Cards”, “Black Mirror” and “Orange Is the New Black”. On the big screen, her notable 21st-century films include “Panic Room”, “Inside Man”, “Elysium”, “Hotel Artemis” and “The Mauritanian”, which unexpectedly won her a Golden Globe for best supporting actress in 2021.

In the real world, she is a mom to two sons from her previous relationship with Cydney Bernard, and she tied the knot with photographer and director Alexandra Hedison in the year 2014.

It’s only fitting that Jodie Foster, a former child actress herself, chose to guide Kristen Stewart when they portrayed mother and daughter in David Fincher’s 2002 thriller “Panic Room.” Just as Foster has had a complex journey with fame, Stewart experienced a similar but significantly amplified trajectory after landing the groundbreaking, career-defining role of Bella Swan in the “Twilight” series at around 16, thanks to the widespread reach of the internet.

In an interview with Stellar magazine in 2019, Stewart expressed that Foster believed there was no possibility I’d persist in acting. However, this assumption had nothing to do with her skills and everything to do with her humble nature. Stewart further explained, “I adore my profession, but I can see why she might have doubted me as a youngster. I admire her deeply.

Since wrapping up the five-movie Twilight series, the actress who is also a Chanel muse has had no difficulty securing roles. Apart from her attempt to resurrect the Charlie’s Angels franchise in 2019, she has opted for more introspective films such as The Clouds of Sils Maria, which earned her the first American actress to win a Cesar Award (the French equivalent of the Oscars). She also starred in the mysterious drama Personal Shopper, and the somewhat non-biographical movies Seberg and Spencer.

Since the well-known breakup with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart has mostly been in relationships with women. She got engaged to Dylan Meyer in 2021.

Or, more conversational:
Kristen Stewart, who was famous for her relationship with Robert Pattinson, has mainly dated women since then. She’s been engaged to Dylan Meyer since 2021.

In the not-so-distant past, I stepped into the limelight, decades before my character would vanish half the Earth’s population. This was none other than me, the son of James Brolin, making my debut as Brandon Walsh in the 1985 blockbuster “Goonies”. Brandon Walsh, cool, exasperated, protective, and big-hearted – a role that became synonymous with my early career.

I’ve been absolutely thrilled to be part of some incredible films throughout my career! From playing quirky roles in movies like “Flirting With Disaster” and “Mimic,” to taking on iconic characters such as “No Country for Old Men’s” Anton Chigurh, which won the Best Picture Oscar and truly catapulted me back into the spotlight. I was also fortunate enough to star in films like “American Gangster,” portraying 43rd President George W. Bush in “W.,” earning a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for my role as Dan White in “Milk,” where I played the tragic character who took the life of Harvey Milk, a city official and advocate for gay rights.

I’ve also had the pleasure of donning the cowboy hat for “Jonah Hex” and “True Grit,” joining the action-packed universe of “Sicario,” and bringing the infamous supervillain Thanos to life in “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame.” And who could forget my upcoming journey into the vast expanse of “Dune,” playing a role in both parts one and the soon-to-be-released sequel. It’s been an incredible ride, and I can hardly wait to see what’s next!

Josh Brolin has two children from his first marriage to Alice Adair. Following this marriage, he was wedded to Diane Lane from 2004 until 2013. Since then, he and his current spouse, Kathryn Boyd, whom he married in 2016, have given birth to a daughter named Westlyn Reign Brolin in 2018 and another girl, Chapel Grace Brolin, in December 2020.

At just ten years old, she first appeared on the big screen alongside Cher and Winona Ryder in the movies “Mermaids” (1990) and “The Addams Family,” where she played the quirky character of Wednesday Addams. The following year saw her reappearance as the same character.

1990s nostalgia was created by movies like Casper and Now and Then, before Ricci began portraying intricate characters in films such as The Opposite of Sex, Buffalo ’66, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sleepy Hollow, Prozac Nation, Pumpkin, and Monster. In these latter roles, she acted as the girlfriend of serial killer Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron, who won an Oscar for this performance).

For the past 30 years, Ricci’s activities have mostly been thrilling. This includes portraying a stylish ’60s flight attendant in the brief-lived series Pan Am, being confined to a radiator in Black Snake Moan, and playing intriguing real-life women like ax murderer Lizzie Borden in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, author and Scott Fitzgerald’s muse Zelda Fitzgerald in Z: The Beginning of Everything.

Ricci is mom to son Freddie with ex-husband James Heerdegen.

Last December 2021, the celebrity known as ‘Yellowjackets’ had a baby girl named Cleopatra, who was born to her and her husband Mark Hampton, a hairdresser, whom she got married to in October of the same year.

Macaulay Culkin solidified his status as an icon at just 10 years old with a memorable shriek in “Home Alone,” but he had been honing his craft since the age of 5, appearing in TV movies and roles like “Uncle Buck,” “Jacob’s Ladder,” and more. After taking a near-decade break following 1994’s “Ri¢hie Ri¢h,” Culkin has returned to acting on occasion, primarily in smaller films that left lasting cultural impressions such as “Party Monster” and “Saved.

Following his appearances on Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” and portraying a coffee shop version of himself on “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, Macaulay Culkin is expected to join the cast of the 10th season of “American Horror Story”, scheduled for release in 2021, provided that all pandemic safety measures are addressed.

The actor is currently in a relationship with Brenda Song and they have two sons together. Their eldest son, Dakota Song Culkin, was named after the actor’s older sister Dakota who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2008. Their younger son, Carson, first appeared in public at his father’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on December 1, 2023 when he was 12 months old.

It appears that Dakota transitioned from portraying Ally McBeal’s 5-year-old self and Sean Penn’s 6-year-old daughter in the movie “I Am Sam,” to setting a path as the first female officer of the New York Police Department turned private detective in the historical drama “The Alienist” surprisingly quickly, but this was not an overnight transformation.

She’s been putting in an enormous amount of effort for over two decades, delivering standout performances in films such as “Uptown Girls,” “Man on Fire,” “Hide and Seek,” “War of the Worlds,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “The Secret Life of Bees,” three “Twilight” movies, “American Pastoral,” and “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood.” In these roles, she portrayed real-life individuals, including Charles Manson’s follower, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme.

Beyond my role in “The Nightingale” alongside my cherished sister Elle Fanning, I’m eagerly anticipating my lead part in an adaptation of “The Bell Jar,” the renowned and singular novel by Sylvia Plath, which delves into a young woman’s struggle with mental illness during the 1950s.

Initially, she made her debut portraying “Lucy 2 years,” a youthful iteration of her sister Dakota’s character in the movie “I Am Sam“. However, this Fanning has since forged her unique path in acting and style, distinct from her equally accomplished sibling.

She accumulated typical roles as the child of established film stars in a variety of productions, including “Daddy Day Care,” “The Door in the Floor,” “Babel,” and “Reservation Road.” She also made guest appearances on numerous “CSI” spin-offs, “Criminal Minds,” “House,” “Law & Order: SVU,” and other shows she likely wasn’t old enough to watch when she was filming them. However, as a teenager and into her twenties, her film work diversified across genres. This ranged from family-oriented films like “We Bought a Zoo” and “Maleficent,” young adult stories such as “Super 8” and “Twixt,” prestigious dramas like “Trumbo” and “20th Century Women,” to surreal, disturbing fantasies like “The Neon Demon” and “The Beguiled.

On her journey, she has portrayed Mary Shelley in a movie bearing the same title and Catherine the Great in the Hulu satire titled “The Great“. Coming up next, she and Dakota are set to act as sisters in the highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of Kristin Hannah’s epic novel from World War II era, “The Nightingale“.

The actress and vocalist, who first gained fame on Disney Channel’s “Lizzie McGuire,” has aged since then. After her successful stint there, she smoothly transitioned into more family-oriented roles, including “Agent Cody Banks,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” and “A Cinderella Story.

After a period without significant roles, Duff has shone brightly once more in the show Younger, where she plays a character with multiple layers alongside Sutton Foster’s role as a 40-year-old pretending to be a millennial. This TV Land series, which is gearing up for its seventh season, has Duff playing Kelsey, a complex character that fans have been eagerly anticipating. However, while the idea of a spin-off focusing on her Younger character is intriguing, many fans were more excited about her coming back as Lizzie in a planned reboot for Disney+. Unfortunately, the revival of this beloved series has been delayed.

She has since starred in two seasons of  How I Met Your Father.

Duff and former hockey player Mike Comrie, father of Luca Comrie, parted ways in 2014 following nearly four years of marriage, leading to a divorce. Later, she had a daughter named Banks Violet Bair with songwriter Matthew Koma and the two got married in 2019. In 2021, they welcomed their second child, Mae James Bair, followed by Townes Meadow Bair in May 2024, completing their family.

The younger sibling of the ‘Growing Pains’ star, Kirk Cameron, gained popularity as a trendsetter for 12-year-olds with her crimped hairstyle, portraying the studious eldest Tanner sister D.J. on ‘Full House’, which aired from 1987 to 1995.

She has appeared in numerous TV films, some carrying powerful messages, like the 1996 production “No One Would Tell,” which was inspired by a true story about a high school student who was tragically murdered by her 16-year-old boyfriend after enduring his abuse for months without a word. (Yes, it still resonates deeply with us.)

Lately, following a two-season stint as co-host on “The View“, and joining forces with nearly all of the Tanner family for five seasons of Netflix’s “Fuller House“, Candace has risen to prominence within the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas programming and is also the leading actress in their Aurora Teagarden murder-mystery series, which is based on the books by author Charlaine Harris.

In the year 2021, she commemorated a quarter-century of matrimony with the ex-NHL athlete Valeri Bure, who is also the father of her three kids.

Following a stint as middle sister Stephanie Tanner on the television series “Full House” for eight consecutive seasons, Sweetin faced challenges with substance abuse. She openly shared her experiences with this struggle in her 2009 memoir titled “unSweetined.

Between the years 2002 and 2016, three marriages contributed to the sensational news stories, along with her short-lived engagement to Justin Hodak. Hodak, who had numerous problems, ultimately breached a restraining order that was in effect against him, leading to his imprisonment for over six years in 2019 due to illegal possession of a lethal weapon and fabricating evidence.

Since 2008, the mother of daughters Zoie and Beatrix has been sober. She reappeared with the Tanner family for five seasons in Netflix’s Fuller House series and has also starred in various movies on the Hallmark Channel. These include the Christmas-themed Merry and Bright from 2019, as well as the romantic comedy Just Swipe.

The character of Michelle Tanner, who evolved from a naive baby to a clever 6-year-old in the popular ABC sitcom Full House, was played by two individuals. After their success on the show, these twin actors expanded their fame into a series of movies for the big screen and direct-to-video releases, founded a production company, created children’s clothing lines, wrote books, and developed other products, ultimately building a massive Olsen business empire.

Ever since Mary-Kate shone in “New York Minute” back in 2004, she’s been gracing our screens on hit shows like “Weeds” and movies such as “The Wackness” and “Beastly”. However, my heart skips a beat when I talk about Ashley. While Mary-Kate was still acting, Ashley seemed to step away from it all—and boy, did she ever! Nowadays, they’re not just actresses; they’ve become fashion icons as the co-founders of The Row and Elizabeth & James, winning countless CFDA Awards along the way.

In the year 2023, Ashley gave a tranquil greeting to her firstborn, who arrived with Louis Eisner, her companion since 2017. Mary-Kate exchanged vows with Olivier Sarkozy in 2015 and chose to end their marriage in 2020.

Prior to his Hollywood success, Oscar wins, and lavish lifestyle, Leonardo DiCaprio was initially a homeless teenager. He found a home with the Seaver family on the TV show “Growing Pains” in 1991, where his youthful appearance made him seem even younger despite being 16 at the time and already having years of acting experience. DiCaprio received his first of six Oscar nominations for his role in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” portraying troubled characters in several other films such as “A Boy’s Life,” “The Basketball Diaries,” “Marvin’s Room,” and “Romeo + Juliet.

He still kinda looked like a kid in Titanic, but at 22 he had reached full-on heartthrob status.

For approximately ten years, Leonardo DiCaprio has graced our movie screens with roles in films like Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, The Revenant (which earned him his first Best Actor Oscar), and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Accio, adulthood!

Transitioning from her successful debut as Hermione Granger in eight Harry Potter films, the British actress then ventured into Young Adult literature adaptations like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Bling Ring. She also shared screen time with Tom Hanks in The Circle, and as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, she has focused her influence on uplifting women worldwide and advocating for global gender equality.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I find it fascinating to reflect on the extraordinary journey of a talented individual who hails from New Mexico. This promising star struck gold on his very first attempt, receiving a Golden Globe nomination at just 15 years old for his exceptional debut performance as a melancholic boy forming an unlikely bond with the household help in the 1988 TV movie titled “Clara’s Heart.” However, the road to success could have taken a different turn for the actor gracing our screens in the dramedy “Doogie Howser, M.D.”, where he breathed life into a prodigious 16-year-old doctor. Neal Patrick Harris humorously hinted at these potential obstacles when he delightfully poked fun at himself in the film “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Though there was a period of inactivity for him as he took time to recover from his fast-paced youth in Hollywood, he was actively involved in theater, appearing in three Broadway productions. Eventually, the perfect TV opportunity came along in the form of the charming playboy character Barney Stinson on “How I Met Your Mother”, earning him four Emmy nominations. In 2010, he received three Emmy nominations and won two awards – one for co-producing the 2009 Tonys and another for his guest role on “Glee”.

Despite a break from acting while recovering from his excessive lifestyle in Hollywood, he focused on theater, featuring in three Broadway plays. Eventually, he landed the ideal TV part as Barney Stinson on “How I Met Your Mother”, which resulted in four Emmy nominations. In 2010, he was nominated for three Emmys and received two awards – one for producing the 2009 Tonys and another for his guest appearance on “Glee”.

This versatile performer, known for his skills in acting, singing, dancing, and magic, has hosted the Tonys on four occasions, earning an Emmy for exceptional programming as a producer each time. He’s also claimed two Emmys and once the Oscar in 2015. In addition, he was awarded a Tony in 2014, recognizing him as Best Actor in a Musical for his role in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”.

In 2010, Harris and his long-term partner David Burtka became parents to twins named Gideon and Harper through surrogacy, and they got married in 2014.

At just 4 years old, she was adorably captivating as the scene-stealing Olivia on The Cosby Show. Subsequently, she appeared in movies like The Little Rascals, Doctor Dolittle, and both versions of Doctor Dolittle 2. In 2003, she starred in her own beloved Disney Channel sitcom, That’s So Raven, where she played a psychic teenager with an unforgettable style. During that time, she also made appearances on various other Disney Channel productions like The Cheetah Girls, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Kim Possible, and Sonny With a Chance.

Following the conclusion of her show in 2007, Raven-Symoné appeared in various TV series such as American Dad, Nashville, State of Georgia, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Master of None, Drunk History, and has been a recurring character on Black-ish since 2015. Additionally, she spent three seasons as a co-host on The View and married Miranda Maday in June 2020.
