Teen star

We want to tell you about one of your favourite teen stars, his name is Josh Peck and he's known as half of the duo on the popular nick show Drake and Josh. He's been doing comedy since he was 8. He started out doing children's theatre, he's also appeared in tv shows like a pilot episode of The Sopranos and an episode of ER. He also appeared in the Amanda Show in 1999 and in movies like Max Keeble's Big Move and Snow Day. He plays Josh Nichols on the show Drake and Josh, he used to be quite a chubby kid but he lost weight halfway through season 3. He also provided voice for animated shows and movies like Ice Age 2. He had a breakthrough role in the movie Mean Creek as George. There are three Drake and Josh movies- Drake and Josh Go Hollywood, Really Big Shimp, and Merry Christmas Drake and Josh. He recently appeared in The Wackness, Safety Glass, Ice Age 3 (reprising his voice role as Eddie the possum from the second Ice Age film) and Aliens In The Attic (as the voice of Sparks, an alien). He's done quite well I believe and is stated to appear in a remake of the film Red Dawn.

He's one of the reasons why we prefer Nickelodeon teen stars to the ones Disney channel coughs up - because unlike disney channel teen stars who get stuck duing stupid kiddie movies like those utterly disturbing High School Musical films which were all Kenny Ortega's fault although he redeemed himself with This Is It (which by the way was an absolutely spectacular MJ concert rehearsal film) and the utterly deplorable Cheetah Girls and Hannah Montana franchise. Unlike Disney Channel's mannuquin-like teen stars, Nickelodeon teen stars move on to bigger and brighter things.

I give Josh lots of props for that. One of my old school friends looks a lot like the young chubby Josh and kind of acts like him too - his name is Jason. The newest member of our company is a young performer named Joshua Louis Belushi who bears more than a few similarities to the Drake and Josh star. It also kind of helps that he's also related to the late comedian John Belushi. Of course if you are a tvtrope addict you might know him as Werejoshpeckprince, who by the way is NOT a troll and does not have an "ego" at all- he's a very humble person.

Josh Peck is in his twenties now and he's making quite a name for himself.
