I suppose it's also worth mentioning that when you have a massive cast of young talent on a show giving them national exposure, it shouldn't be terribly surprising when a portion of them become stars. It's also a case of, when you have extremely talented kids who are desperate (or their parents pushing them) to be stars, they're always going to find some way to try and achieve that. A lot of the kids applying to be on Mickey Mouse Club in the first place were always going to be people who, even if they didn't get on the show, would likely have found other ways to get into the spotlight. Case in point - Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys originally auditioned for MMC and got accepted to be on the show before he wound up going with Backstreet instead. He already had multiple rods in the fire, as it were, and just went with the one most likely to pay off. Zeus posted... Also, by context, I know who some of them are, but I don't recognize them. The ones you'd probably be expected to recognize (even if only by name and context) are Justin, Keri, JC, Britney, Christina, and Ryan... ~~aka, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell (Felicity, The Americans, lots of movies), JC Chasez (from NSYNC), Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling~~. Nikki and Marc are borderline cases - Nikki DeLoach was in a girl group (with Britney Spears, before Britney went solo), then became an actress (she's mostly been in low-tier stuff, with cameos in shows like CSI and more major roles in a bunch of Hallmark Channel movies), while Marc Worden did a few minor TV and movie roles but then moved into voice acting and did a fair bit of stuff (though most of his work falls under the heading of "Additional Voices"). No real clue what happened to most of the others, though some of them went into songwriting, and have that sort of "You don't know them, but there's a chance you've heard their work and don't know it" sort of cred going on. And I think the one girl is currently touring with En Vogue. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:941442998] in Life After...
