Worst Disney Channel Actors and Actresses

The Top Ten
1 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. As an actor, he is known for his debut role as Austin Moon on the Disney Channel original series Austin & Ally, and for his role as Brady in Disney Channel's Teen Beach... read more

I think he's a terrible actor and singer. He acts like he's the coolest person in the world, but he's not. He looks like he dyed his hair and he isn't "Hot" or "Cute". I have no idea why Disney cast him, but he ruins Austin and Ally. Why is it called Austin and Ally if it's about Austin, Ally, Trish, and Dez? They really don't include the rest of the cast. The show was good at the beginning, but like every other Disney show they had to add that complicated love life where they like each other then stop get together break up like each other again and repeat 50 gazillion times!

2 Bella Thorne Annabella Avery "Bella" Thorne is an American actress, writer, model and singer, released EP "Jersey" in 2014. Best known for "Shake It Up!" 2010-2013. Has starred in "Blended", "The Frog Kingdom", "The Duff", "Big Sky", "Ratchet & Clank", "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"... read more

I actually was a fan of hers some years ago. She was born the same day as me (not same year), and I got super excited! I thought she was a good actress (time ago). But she stopped being my favorite. It's not like I ever stop liking her, but I really didn't paid attention to her. Recently I wanted to find some famous actors and singers' snapchat account, and while googling it, I found hers. I was kinda happy and remembered me of when I was little and watched the show (which now I know it's not that good). I inmediatly added her, and I saw her story. First a selfie, ok. Next a weird colored hair pic, she died her hair, I'm really behind. Then BAM! She without clothes, covering her boobs and putting a "sexy" face. Then others like that. Then she in bed with her boyfriend (not saying they were doing "you know what" necessarily, but still), with her apparently with no clothes (I couldn't see any shirt straps), and I was like: Why Bella, why!? (by the way, Zendaya was and will always be my favorite Disney actress, she is a great role model) I was disappointed since that day... She's the next Miley Cyrus...

3 Laura Marano Laura Marano is an American actress and singer, best known for her starring role in the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally as Ally Dawson.

Laura is amazing. People are complaining about Austin and Ally acting but she is on a sitcom not a drama. Her acting in Bad Hair Day was amazing. Her comedic timing was spot on. Comedy is hard to do. And if you want to see acting look at her resume she has been working consistently since she was a kid. Her acting in Without a Trace/ Dexter was great and those were both dramas. Not to mention A Sort of Homecoming, an indie drama she did last year with Kat McNamara. I saw it in Texas and it was phenomenal. So rest assured the girl can act don't judge her just on A&A.
As for her singing she may not have a voice like Adele but who does? Look at Taylor Swift she does not have killer pipes either. What sets Laura apart is she actually writes and plays her own music. Half the singers out there sing songs other people wrote for them. Do you think Taylor Swift's record label would sign her if they didn't think she was talented?
And lastly look at any interviewer or any person that ever wrote about her and see if you can find a negative comment about her...you can't. She is described as sweet, funny, nice, beautiful. Because she is. She isn't fake. She is involved in so many charities and doesn't look for recognition. To hate on her to justify liking your other favorites is insane. This girl is pure gold.

4 G. Hannelius

What is this trash I am hearing about people who do not like this idiot being jealous? I am certainly far from being jealous of someone who is 17 and looks like 12, acts like a toddler with her retarded remarks and comments, and has money to just let blow to the wind. I could care less about this rich, retarded, stupid Disney actress, so why would I be jealous? Whoever thinks that the haters are just jealous of this idiot are absolutely retarded because there is nothing to be jealous about! So the real Genevieve bastard is now on here telling us what we can and can't say. News flash, your an untalented, short little brat. "Oh, please keep the hate comments to a minimum." Who the heck does she think she is? What, does she seriously think she is going to boss a 23 year old around. Why don't we keep the like comments to a minimum. So we have established that.

5 China Anne McClain China Anne McClain was born on August 25, 1998 in Atlanta, Georgia . She is of African-American descent . China Anne McClain is a singer for her band, McClain, which she is in along with her sisters, Lauryn and Sierra . China Anne McClain is known for her starring roles in Disney's Ant Farm, and Tyler... read more

She 's so popular but she's not she just pretend so she can more fans. Sierra McCormick is at least popular Sierra deserve be a huge celebrity not China Anne McClain. She 's always focus on acting than music. She's not even funny and cute or beautiful or pretty she's ugliest girl in the world. She's doesn't deserve be a celebrity she's be a nobody she shouldn't be exist or was never been. She and her sisters move back where they from and go to school and be homeless or died.

I wish she shouldn't never a celebrity or famous and didn't any fan and friends and
Homeless and poor. I wish she never exist or been born. I wish she and her sisters were nobodies and normal people and go ti school. Or have any social media and YouTube channel and have no careerat all. I wish China and her sisters never exist. She should have anything like fame family friends money and friends.

6 Dove Cameron Dove Cameron is an American actress and singer. She is known for playing a dual role as both title characters in the Disney Channel teen sitcom Liv and Maddie, which ran from 2013 - 2017.

(UPDATE: This was obviously a comment I made when I was 13. But I looked her up again and honestly she doesn't seem like a bad person. Sure I've found that she can overreact a little but don't we all? Anyways her acting itself is well... passable, but personally I believe that she's too high on this list. There's far worse actors out there *cough* most of the cast of The Last Airbender and Tommy Wisseau *cough*.)

Um apparently I found out some rumors about Dove having plastic surgery and "lip plumping". I don't believe them, but I wouldn't be surprised if she did. Though I have nothing against her. Also I have viewed her Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts and she seems sorta nice, but too peppy also she does seem a little bit attached to her boyfriend. (He's mentioned in like every three posts I have seen out of multiple posts in all of her accounts). Like I said before I have nothing against her, but I'm just stating out a rumor. (Plus I did actually look them up and I don't believe in most rumors, but I do know that actors and actresses wear a lot of makeup and I've seen some scary photoshop things that people have done.) But I don't have anything against her I'm just sending the message and giving my opinion. I know that not everyone cares about my opinion, but that's what the foundation of this website is so whatever.

7 Rowan Blanchard Rowan Blanchard is an American actress. She is known for her role as Riley Matthews on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World.

My god, I hate her show. Why? Because of the confusing plot line, and Rowan herself. Seriously, her acting skills are less than mediocre, her singing hard to tolerate, and her voice irritating. They should have cast someone else as her, since she more or less ruins the show. I only watch parts of the show because I can't avoid it, as my sister watches it in the same room I do homework in.

I'm not so superficial as to base my argument on her looks, as that doesn't have much to do with anything. However, while she's not ugly, but there's something about her features that throw me off; I was under the impression that she and her friend were cast to look "beautiful" (wasn't that something to do with one of the episodes? ).

8 Raini Rodriguez Raini Rodriguez is an American actress and singer. She is best known for her roles as Trish in the Disney series Austin & Ally and Maya Blart in the films Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. She has also appeared in an episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and on the Disney XD show I'm... read more

Let me start off by saying my feelings for Raini: complete and total disgust. No it is not because she is fat so if your going to comment back with things like " oh my god don't bully its because shes fat isn't it! " please don't. Now the reason for my hated for Raini is because of the mere fact of the way she acts and her personality. She is bossy, rude, and just one of those people who are repulsive. When I look at pictures of her I can feel my body filing with anger and I feel my blood boil. In NO way shape or form do any of these feelings have to do with her weight so calm yourself once again. I also think that her acting skills are so sub-par that she should even be allowed to perform in middle school plays. She would be a disgrace to any drama teacher EVER. I would also like to point out that her existence takes away from Gods green Earth and I feel that she really needs to take an acting class and change her personality a little but so that it is a bit more genuine and tolerable, because right now its not even that.
Thank you

9 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 prominence for her role as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up. Her film roles include supporting parts in the musical drama The Greatest... read more

Zendaya is the worst Disney star ever. She cannot act. She pisses me of when she sings. Disney tries to make the Disney actors and actresses be singers just to make them feel good about themselves. The only people from Disney that can sing is Raven Symone, Adrianna Bailon, and China Anne Mc'clain. Some of the Disney stars cannot act and that goes for you too Zendaya Coleman. They need to bring back the old Disney stars because now they got all of these brand new shows that like to copy the old Disney shows just to make people actually watch Disney. And believe me, it's not working.

10 Debby Ryan Deborah Ann "Debby" Ryan is an American actress, director, and singer. Ryan is known for starring as Jessie Prescott in the Disney Channel Original Series Jessie and as Bailey Pickett in Disney Channel's The Suite Life on Deck.

Debby Ryan is SO annoying! She is SO bad at acting! I mean I seriously don't know why they choose her to always be from Texas and Not have an accent at all, and she always has to say "Yeah, well in Texas,..."it's just stupid!

Debby Ryan always has to have that stupid face when she acts, or even just if she's smiling. I just really DO NOT like her!

? My final answer is,... She is the dumbest person but,... I dislike her terribly!

I think debby Ryan is pretty and was GREAT on suite life on deck. But when Jessie came out, her acting wasn't that good. And I'm not trying to be rude or mean, but I think debby Ryan was prettier on suite life on deck. But I still do like debby Ryan. But when it comes to Bailey and Jessie, I'd choose bailey 4 sure!

The Contenders
11 Davis Cleveland Davis Cleveland is an American actor. He is known for his role as Flynn Jones on the Disney Channel original series Shake It Up. Cleveland starred as Manny in the 2016 Nickelodeon Original Movie Rufus and its 2017 sequel Rufus 2.

That's stupid this person just goes around hating on every one. We'll at least they have jobs and try at something instead of sitting alone with no life and being jealous. I don't like some of these people to but that doesn't mean their bad there just not my favourite why can't you just leave it at that.

He's only a kid! A very talented one too! You know what can happen to a kid with a passion and people say he's not good enough? He could end up hating acting! If he's reading this don't listen to these people they say this stuff about everything.

12 Blake Michael

It's funny how stupid you are, Blake is an amazing actor, I mean did you see his role in that incredible movie Lemonade Mouth, just basing it off on that cringe show Dog With A Blog. Blake has a lot of potential, he deserves better.

He just thinks he is perfect. Which he's not. The whole Dog with a blog is getting boring. Blake Michael doesn't deserve to be ranked as a good actor. I just don't like him.

Blake is extremely good looking but a little immature and kind of dumb anyone who acts on Disney tend to be more simple minded he's a decent actor.

13 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.

OK. I used to think he was annoying and couldn't even see him. But then I saw him in Flashpoint I think and realized he is actually a great actor. He isn't annoying, his character in A&A IS. He is great because he got to do the character in a proper way, he is so good he makes you feel annoyed, that's how you should feel about Dez. In Flashpoint he was great, he made you feel afraid and sorry for him, just as he was supposed to. Great actor, he deserves more than this

Stop hating on a lot of these actors djhostboy, though some of them I may agree with you, but it's only for those people who aren't nice and those who aren't nice and are going through or went through crazy personal problems.

14 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 Mezzo-Soprano and spans 4 octaves... read more

Why is she in this list? She is an amazing singer, and Hannah Montana was a great show, in fact it was one of the last shows to be good on Disney channel. The good shows are: even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, Hannah Montana, that's so Raven, wizards of Waverly place, suite life of Zac and Cody, suite life on deck. Her acting was great compared to the garbage acting they put on Disney channel now like: Jessie, Liv and Maddie, girl meets world, lab rats, dog with a blog, Agustin and ally, ant farm, and more. And don't even connect what she is today to hire her acting was like; that's so not relevant!

15 Olivia Holt Olivia Hastings Holt is an American actress and singer who starred in the Disney Channel Original Series I Didn't Do It.

She seems like a nice and sweet girl but lets face it.. her acting isn't the best, especially in "I Didn't Do It". Although I can't really tell if its just that her role is awful, or she's a bad actress. If I offended anyone I'm sorry. Not being mean, just stating my opinion.

I agree Olivia Holt is not ugly but I really beginning to hate her she thinks she is better than everyone. Her voice is a little annoying. I don't hate her but any boy could do better than date her.

Olivia is a great singer and actress! The show I Didn't Do It was just a dum show its not her fault. She was amazing on kickin it! She is really good at what she does!

16 Sabrina Carpenter Sabrina Ann Lynn Carpenter is an American singer, songwriter and actress. She stars as the young version of Chloe Goodwin in The Goodwin Games and as Maya Hart in the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World. She plays Jenny Parker in the Disney Channel Original Movie Adventures in Babysitting . (She)... read more

I do love Sabrina Carpenter's music and acting but what I don't get is everyone saying she's better than Rowan and that Rowan is a little brat. I feel like Rowan is so underrated and everyone keeps comparing them when they're their own person. Sabrina is better at acting and singing, but she's the typical commercial Disney product when Rowan is so clever and mature already and cares about real problems in this world.

I think she should be the star of T.V. Film named Girl Meets the World. I think she deserves to be an actress and a singer. She is so lovely. She sings awesome and she acts so good! She is better than Rowan Blanchard's dumb face! I think she should be the star of Disney. I think she has to be in more T.V. shows! She is just awesome!

17 Peyton List Peyton Roi List is an American actress and model. List is best known for playing Emma Ross on the Disney Channel comedy series Jessie and Holly Hills in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series.

I used to want to be her. But that obsession stopped when I realized how selfish and boy crazy she really was after rewatching the series of Jessie and Bunk'd with my friend. She loves attention and she thinks that getting the guys is the most important thing in the world. For example, when she met Maybelle and Emma's crush/ boyfriend asked her out. Maybelle then tackled him in a show of respect for her new friend Emma. Emma then sees and gets angry at Maybelle rather than giving her a chance to explain, therefore showing that she is more into her relationship with Rick than her relationship with Maybelle.

18 Jake Paul Jake Joseph Paul (born January 17, 1997) is an American social media personality and professional boxer. He initially rose to fame on Vine, before playing the role of Dirk Mann on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark for two seasons. Throughout his career, Paul has become the subject of many controversies... read more

How is Jake Paul lower than Ross Lynch, Calum Worthy and Dove Cameron? Dove, Calum and Ross have such outgoing personalities and Jake Paul was just a YouTube sensation who became famous for his viral videos! Nobody likes him, respects him and likes his videos! Seriously, he's the most racist and disrespectful Youtube blogger and thank god he got fired from Disney Channel! May Jake Paul and his annoying brother Logan Paul burn in hell! At least Dove, Calum and Ross have talent!

How do people think that Dove Cameron is more annoying than Jake?!?! I don't really know WHY he had to come to Disney... He kinda ruined the whole "new Disney" idea for me.

19 Maia Mitchell Maia Mitchell is an Australian actress and singer. She is known for her roles as Brittany Flune in the children's television series Mortified for the Nine Network, and as Natasha Ham in the Seven Network's teen drama Trapped.

The Fosters. Try watching her act in it. She's quite amazing actually, and I'm glad she also works out of the grimace-worthy writing of Disney. Also, she is very pretty, to those who need to realize there own self-worth and stop such meaningless defamation. A list like this only feeds hate, so shame on the ones who made it.

She was alright in Teen Beach Movie, but her acting abilities really shine in The Fosters. I was really impressed with her portrayals there. Disney Channel just has some bad screenwriters, which makes a lot of these actors (including Maia) seem really bad.

20 Francesca Capaldi Francesca Angelucci Capaldi is an American child actress. She co-starred as Chloe James in the Disney Channel sitcom Dog with a Blog.

She is like 11 and act like a baby, I know she is small but she can't act. Her hair got her re parts became she has the "Disney Channel look" also Chloe is a total brat. And Francesca can't act at all: she is always working off others for her comidic timing and she has th same expression the whole time! In my opinion Francesca's voice overs are better than expression as seen in the peanuts movie but litirally everyone made a huge deal about her as the little red haired girl in the peanuts movie! I mean she didn't have to do any voice or imitate a well loved character like Lucy and Charlie Brown and Sally, she just had to make up any old voice and then a say a few cheesy words. But somehow that was better than her perform well on Dog with a Blog.

21 Jenna Ortega Jenna Marie Ortega is an American actress. She is known for her roles in Jane the Virgin on The CW and Stuck in the Middle on Disney Channel.

Her acting makes me cringe so much. I saw the first episode of poop in the middle. She showed no emotion and she acted to serious. This is a sictom! And her last name is Ortega. Hmmm maybe she's related to Kenny Ortega. Maybe that's why the 10 year old got the part. Overall, they should cancel Stuck in middle

Her acting is so bad, stuck in the middle was incredibly cringe, she over exaggerates her lines on that overrated show (Stuck In The Middle) I can already tell she is going to be a terrible actress.

First of all she is ugly, she's just a tiny rat trying to look cute. Second her show stinks and her acting is even worse. She can't act.
She should just stop her career.

22 Selena Gomez Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress and singer. She is best known for songs like "Come & Get It", "Good For You", "Same Old Love", and "It Ain't Me". Selena Gomez's voice is mezzo-soprano but she usually sings in alto. She is best known for her role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place.

I'm sorry sel I have to say, shes the best actor ever! I don't understand how you can... Did you see wizards of waverly place? She is great! Ugh and you had to do this? She might be the best actor besides demi! ugh get her off this list GET HER OFF!

Sucks much? She thinks she is so pretty, cool, and talented, but she is SO in the negative hundreds! She is the most annoying celeb in the universe and beyond.

I really don't understand why people say she's a great actress. She says her lines like a robot. She has no emotion in her acting whatsoever.

23 Cameron Boyce Cameron Boyce (May 28, 1999 - July 6, 2019) was an American teen actor best known for his roles in the feature films Mirrors, Eagle Eye, Descendants, Grown Ups, and Grown Ups 2, as well as for his starring roles as Luke Ross on the Disney Channel comedy series Jessie and as Conor on the Disney XD series... read more

He was, Meh on Jessie. But his new show Gamers Guide is so stupid. I have only seen one episode and I hate him as a person and as a gamer. Isn't it weird that the only people he plays are little spoiled crybaby brats, that shows something.

Descendents- Crybaby of the four people, I only watched 10 minutes of the movie but you can tell

Jessie- When I was in middle school I loved this but now I hate the show,The show would have been better without him,he was only their for comedic relief.

GGTPME- Plot: Spoild brat child breaks his thumb and has to go to high school? Really, that's the best excuse they got to send him off to school! This isn't a worst show list so I will stop ranting on that. He isn't the worst actor on the show but he angered me the most with all his lame pop culture references and the fact that by the end of the first episode he still isn't satisfied with being a average kid.

All the comments on him are stupid. "He's nothing like his character on Jessie" All I say to that is, how do you know. Based on how well he convinced me in middle school, he is probably the same in real life

24 Peyton Meyer Peyton Meyer is an American actor. He is known for his role as Lucas Friar on the Disney Channel television series Girl Meets World, and his earlier recurring role as Wes Manning on Disney Channel's Dog with a Blog.

Maybe this list should be called the top ten worst Disney Channel characters because djghostboy is clearly talking about their characters and/or music videos. If anything djghostboy blame the writers and directors of the shows and/or music videos. Or at least make this list about certain controversial behaviors that Disney actors have done to make this list less iffy iffy.

Disney only chose him by his looks, not his acts.
To be honest, he isn't so good. People only say
He is good. They are tricked by how "pretty" he
Looks. Look at Sabrina carpenter. Look at Peyton
List. They aren't so good at acting, but they are known
By looks. My friend says that she agrees with me.

25 Sofia Carson

What I can't stand about her is that when she is singing she sounds like she has her teeth clenched and she is about to hack a hairball like a cat. She always acts like she is in love in her nasty music videos! NO JOKE!
