The Unexpected Pivot: From Disney Star to Space CEO
The most attention-grabbing story from the Good Luck Charlie cast is undoubtedly Bridgit Mendler's extraordinary career transformation. Mendler, who played the titular video-diary maker Teddy Duncan, was one of Disney Channel’s most prominent stars, also known for her role in the musical film Lemonade Mouth and her successful pop music career. Her life today is a world away from the Disney set.
In February 2024, Mendler announced on social media that she had launched a space data startup, Northwood Space, based in El Segundo, California. She is serving as the company’s CEO.
This dramatic career change was the result of years of intense academic study. After Good Luck Charlie ended, Mendler pursued higher education, earning a degree from the University of Southern California (USC). She then went on to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard Law School, focusing on ways to improve space data transmission.
Mendler’s announcement also included a personal update: she is a mother. She revealed that she had adopted a son in 2022. This dual announcement of becoming a tech executive and a mother solidified her status as the cast member with the most unique post-Disney career path, focusing on technology, law, and family life rather than the spotlight.
Recent Milestones: A High-Profile Wedding and New Paths in Entertainment
While Bridgit Mendler is reaching for the stars, the other Duncan siblings have also hit significant personal and professional milestones in 2024 and 2025, keeping the Good Luck Charlie cast in the public eye.
Bradley Steven Perry's 2024 Celebrity Marriage
Bradley Steven Perry, who played the sarcastic and mischievous Gabe Duncan, celebrated a major life event in 2024: his marriage to actress Natasha Bure. Natasha is the daughter of actress Candace Cameron Bure, a star known for her roles in Full House and Hallmark films. The wedding was widely covered in entertainment news, cementing Perry’s transition from Disney child star to a young Hollywood adult with a strong family connection to the industry. His character, Gabe, was known for his schemes, but Perry’s real-life journey has been one of clear success and stability.
Leigh-Allyn Baker's Career Pivot to Faith-Based Media
The matriarch of the family, Leigh-Allyn Baker (Amy Duncan), has also made a notable career shift. Known for her comedic timing and voice acting roles, Baker has recently taken on a new mission in family entertainment. She joined the cast of The Adventures of Iggy and Mr. Kirk, a new children's show created by fellow actor Kirk Cameron. Baker’s involvement in the project reflects a desire to provide children with wholesome, faith-based viewing options, a clear contrast to the secular family comedy of Good Luck Charlie.
Mia Talerico Grows Up: High School and Social Media Presence
The show’s namesake, Mia Talerico (Charlie Duncan), is no longer a baby. As of the 2024-2025 school year, Talerico is a high school sophomore. Her growth has been a fascinating journey for fans, as she was literally a toddler when the show began. Talerico maintains an active social media presence, sharing snippets of her life and occasionally acknowledging her Disney Channel past, including participating in a recent cast reunion with her former on-screen family.
The Boys of Good Luck Charlie: PJ, Bob, and Their Current Projects
The male members of the Duncan family, Jason Dolley and Eric Allan Kramer, continue to work in the entertainment industry, with Dolley balancing acting and music, and Kramer focusing on his long-established career and coaching.
Jason Dolley (PJ Duncan) has been steadily working on smaller, independent projects. In 2023, he starred in the short film Pickled, and in 2024, he appeared in The Unicorn That Never Lies. Beyond acting, Dolley has been pursuing his passion for music. He has also been a key figure in recent unofficial cast reunions, including a photo shared with Bradley Steven Perry and Shane Harper (who played Teddy's boyfriend, Spencer Walsh) and a separate appearance with Mia Talerico, Bradley Steven Perry, and Eric Allan Kramer on a Twitch stream called 'Mafiathon 2'.
Eric Allan Kramer (Bob Duncan), a veteran actor with decades of experience before Good Luck Charlie, continues to be an active force in the industry. While his most recent major recurring television role was Scott Miller on the AMC series Lodge 49, Kramer has leveraged his extensive career in film, television, and theatre to become a respected personal acting coach. His work as a director and mentor highlights his commitment to nurturing new talent, a fitting role for the patriarch of the Duncan family.
The journey of the Good Luck Charlie cast is a remarkable collection of individual pursuits. From launching a space company and adopting a child to getting married and pivoting to faith-based media, the actors have proven that life after the Disney Channel can be far more interesting and varied than a typical Hollywood trajectory. Each star has written a unique "video diary" for their own life, and fans are eagerly watching to see what their next chapter holds.
