  1. Zendaya

    Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman is an American actress, singer, and producer. She began her career as a child model and backup dancer before gaining recognition for her role as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up.... read more

    One of the most legendary actors to come out of Disney Channel. From Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover, she currently stars in Spider-Man movies. Definitely deserves the no. 1 spot.

    Zendaya is an amazing actress and singer. She has an amazing song called "Swag It Out." I bet you've heard of it, right? She's so cool, and she's an amazing dancer. #ZSwaggerss

    Most beautiful, talented, and amazing actress on Disney Channel. That's all I can say.

  2. Ross Lynch

    Ross Shor Lynch is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and musician. He is one of the founding members of the pop rock band R5, which includes his siblings.

    As an actor, Lynch gained fame for his role as Austin Moon on the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally and for playing Brady in the Teen... read more

    He is one of the few big Disney actors who hasn't let fame get to his head. Also, he and his band R5 are amazing people.

    He is an amazing singer, a nice guy, and really talented.

    An all-around funny guy! Also, Teen Beach and Austin and Ally. AMAZING.

  3. Bridgit Mendler

    Bridgit Claire Mendler is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. She began her acting career in 2004 with a voice role in the animated Indian film The Legend of Buddha. Mendler later rose to prominence with her lead role on Disney Channel's Good Luck Charlie and has released music, including her... read more

    If she ever decides to resume her acting career, she should seriously be considered for the voice of Rosalina in Illumination's Mario movie franchise, given her well-known connection with outer space.

    I love Bridgit so much! She's such a talented singer and performer. Her portrayal of Teddy in Good Luck Charlie was amazing, though I personally am partial to her performance in Lemonade Mouth! This girl deserves every opportunity she's had and more!

  4. Laura Marano

    Laura Marano is an American actress and singer, best known for playing Ally Dawson in the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally. She made her screen debut in 2003 and appeared in TV series such as Without a Trace and Back to You. Marano began her music career in 2016 with the release of her debut single... read more

    This girl is absolutely amazing and incredibly talented! Seriously, I love her attitude towards everything!

  5. Debby Ryan

She is known for starring as Jessie Prescott in the Disney Channel series Jessie and as Bailey Pickett in Disney Channel's The Suite Life on Deck. Ryan has also released music as a solo artist and as the lead vocalist of the band... read more

    Debby Ryan is very talented and pretty. Don't believe me? Proof: I wrote about her for a prompt in my writing class at school! I want to meet Debby! Anyone agree?

    Um, people! Zendaya is pretty! Face it! At least Debby can actually act!

    Jessie was iconic. But don't forget about Suite Life on Deck!

  6. Miley Cyrus

    Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known professionally as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is popularly described as a lyric mezzo soprano, with a vocal range... read more

    She was in the best Disney Channel show ever made!

She's best known for her hit songs "Come & Get It," "Good for You," "Same Old Love," and "It Ain't Me," as well as her starring role as Alex Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place. Her music has explored different styles, including electropop and Latin... read more

    Why is she not in the Top 3? She is way better than Bridget Mendler. She should be number 2 after Zendaya.

  8. Dan Povenmire

    Daniel Kingsley "Dan" Povenmire is an American television director, writer, producer, storyboard artist, and voice actor. He is best known as the co-creator of the Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb.

    Love him as the voice of Doofenshmirtz in Phineas & Ferb.

  9. Cameron Boyce

He also starred as Luke Ross on the Disney Channel series Jessie and as Conor on the Disney XD series Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything... read more

    Known for Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Jessie, and Gamer's Guide. If it wasn't for seizures and his untimely death in 2019, he could've been more legendary than Disney Channel.

    He could've been just as successful as Zendaya had he lived longer.

    RIP Cameron. He was amazing, and it's so sad the way he passed away.

  10. Dove Cameron

    Dove Cameron is an American actress and singer. She is best known for playing the dual role of Liv and Maddie Rooney in the Disney Channel teen sitcom Liv and Maddie, which ran from 2013 to 2017. Cameron has also pursued a music career and appeared in several films and stage productions.

    Dove Cameron is such a talented singer and actress. The sheer amount of talent and time it took to play two different roles in Liv and Maddie must have been exhausting.

    Legendary actress known for Liv, Maddie, and Mal. A Disney Channel legend by all means. Deserves the number one spot.

    She should be number one, but fine, I also want to pick Zendaya and many others, but I can't!

She is best known for her role as Maddie Fitzpatrick on the Disney Channel series "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody... read more

    Incredibly talented actress. I'm partial to her performance as Maddie Fitzpatrick as opposed to Sharpay Evans because, let's be honest, Sharpay is annoying. Regardless, she's super talented.

    She does a great job as the voice of Candace Flynn in Phineas & Ferb.

  12. ?

    Ashley Olsen

    Ashley Fuller Olsen is an American fashion designer, businesswoman, author, and former actress and producer. She is the twin sister of Mary-Kate Olsen and became widely known for their role as Michelle Tanner on Full House.

She began her acting career as a child and became widely known for her starring role in the television series Lizzie McGuire.

  14. Demi Lovato

    Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. After appearing on the children's television series Barney & Friends as a child, she received her breakthrough role as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel television film Camp Rock and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam... read more

    She is so sweet, beautiful, and cares about other people. She quit Disney and gave up a huge income because they made fun of an eating disorder. She is an amazing singer and is cool and chill. Yet, she's funky, and her style represents a girl ready to face the world. She's the only Disney star who can actually sing live and doesn't autotune her voice. #Lovatic

    I love Demi Lovato's music and singing style. They are so talented, and they wrote my current favorite song, Heart Attack. Demi Lovato is great.

  15. Calum Worthy

    Calum Worthy is a Canadian actor, writer, and producer, known for his role as Dez on the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally and The Coppertop Flop Show. He has also appeared in several other television series and films, including American Vandal and The Act. Worthy began performing at a young age and... read more

She gained prominence as a child actress on The Cosby Show and later starred in the Disney Channel series That's So Raven. Raven-Symoné has also co-hosted the... read more

    Raven isn't exactly herself, but she shows the world not to be negative about their weight. Have you seen That's So Raven where she models her own creation no matter what size and tells the director, "People come in all shapes and sizes. We're all beautiful"?

    If she's Raven Symoné, then she's probably Raven Baxter. She is one of three actors in the golden age of Disney Channel to have their real names used in a character. Not as famous now, but she peaked when That's So Raven aired.

    We stan a lesbian queen like Raven.

  17. Peyton List

    Peyton Roi List is an American actress and model best known for her roles in family-friendly television and film. She portrayed Emma Ross in the Disney Channel series Jessie and reprised the role in the spin-off Bunk'd. List also played Holly Hills in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series.

    She's an incredibly talented actress. The only thing that makes me dislike her is the fact that she was in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies (I hate those movies so much), but that's not really her fault.

    Miley Cyrus isn't great because nobody likes her. Peyton List is not new, but she's pretty and nice. She's also been in three Wimpy Kid movies, so she knows how to act.

    Stunning blonde comedian with an amazing fanbase. She has a great look and is really funny. She MUST be admired.

  18. Cole Sprouse

    Cole Mitchell Sprouse is an American actor and the twin brother of Dylan Sprouse. He is known for his role as Cody Martin on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and its spinoff The Suite Life on Deck. He also starred as Jughead Jones on the CW series Riverdale.

    Do I even have to explain why Cole Sprouse is the best? He loves his fans, and he was on an amazing show and played the best character.

    He'd make a great Milo Thatch in a live-action remake of Atlantis.

  19. Melissa Joan Hart

    Melissa Joan Hart is an American actress, producer, and director. She is known for her roles in Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Melissa & Joey, and more recently No Good Nick.
