What Is The Cast Of Nickelodeon's 'Drake & Josh' Doing Now?
Drake & Josh was a Nickelodeon sitcom that premiered in 2004 starring Drake Bell and Josh Peck, who played stepbrothers that are completely different in every way, shape, and form. As teens that are already trying to figure out life individually, they are thrust together, forced to share a room, and forced to navigate their new family situation.
The cast of Drake & Josh was beloved by its audience. Almost every cast member continued acting once the show concluded in 2007, a few even continued working with Nickelodeon. From well-known faces like Yvette Nicole Brown to Miranda Cosgrove, some of the actors and actresses involved in this show have gone on to make numerous movies and TV series. Here is what the cast of Drake & Josh is doing now.

Allison Scagliotti played “Mindy” in the show, Josh’s enemy-turned-girlfriend. Since leaving the set, Scagliotti continued to act until 2018 when she appeared in a few shorts and one episode of Take One Thing Off. She has moved on to music and activism, sharing her talents on Instagram as she plays songs on the guitar and fights for movements such as “Say Gay,” supporting trans women, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the importance of voting.
