Mitchel Musso: Not Just Miley's Sidekick

Tweet

Let's not pretend you haven't seen an episode of Hannah Montana. Guilty pleasure!There is something to be said about the wide appeal of those Disney kids, they're so darned cute.When the Hannah Montana concert movie came out, my 50-something neighbor went to see a screening: he's with Sony pictures and like me does not let a free movie pass him by. He'd never even heard of Miley Cyrus before. And he loved it! Seriously, he would not stop raving about it. Entertainment has a fun way of regressing us to our child-like selves. That's a good thing!So, whether you're a fan or you're not yet, you can't resist forever.Mitchel is, of course, best known for starring in the beloved TV series. Now little Oliver Oken is coming to the big screen in Hannah Montana: The Movie (alongside Miley, her dad Billy Ray, plus fellow regulars Jason Earles and Emily Osment).But this kid isn't a one trick pony. His other credits include the Disney Channel Original Movie, Life Is Ruff, and the voice of DJ in the Academy Award-nominated Monster House. He also starred in the TV movie Walker Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire alongside Chuck Norris.That's right, Chuck Norris. Now that's bad @$$.Like Miley, Mitchel's also into music. He recently recorded a remake of the song "Lean On Me" for the Disney's Snow Buddies. He has also performed at the Radio Disney Jingle Jams Tour and has plans to release a CD in the future.How many flop-haired superstars (read: The Jonas Brothers) will theHannah Montana phenomenon spawn? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - this is one to watch...-Wes For more: Watch Mitchel in action in our Young Hollywood interview!Feeling Mitchel?
