The Shocking Career Paths of the Supporting Camp Rock Cast
While the main cast continued their pop stardom, the actors who played the dynamic secondary characters—the rivals, the friends, and the camp owner—have carved out unique and surprising career paths in the years since *Camp Rock* ended. Their current projects highlight a shift from Disney Channel fame to serious advocacy, production, and dramatic roles.
Alyson Stoner (Caitlyn Gellar): From Dancer to Mental Health CEO
Alyson Stoner, who played the supportive and tech-savvy Caitlyn Gellar, has had one of the most transformative post-*Camp Rock* careers. Stoner was a recognizable face from projects like *Cheaper by the Dozen* and the *Step Up* franchise, but their focus has shifted dramatically in recent years.
The Advocacy Movement: Alyson Stoner is now a prominent mental health advocate, author, and public speaker. They are the founder and CEO of Movement Genius, a digital platform dedicated to mental health and somatic healing, specifically designed to support performers and others navigating high-stress environments. Stoner’s work has been featured at major conferences, and they continue to use their platform to discuss the challenges of being a child performer. Fans of their dancing and acting can still catch them at various pop culture conventions, like a recent appearance at The Nostalgia Con Houston in 2025.
Meaghan Martin (Tess Tyler): From Mean Girl to Erotic Thriller Star
Meaghan Martin played the resident "mean girl" and rival, Tess Tyler, whose relentless ambition provided much of the conflict in the first film. Martin's career trajectory has taken a sharp turn toward more mature, dramatic roles and behind-the-scenes work.
A Genre Shift: In a major career update, Martin is set to star in the 2025 erotic thriller film, *Red Flags*, playing a woman with a mysterious past. This role marks a significant departure from her Disney Channel roots and showcases her versatility as an actress. Furthermore, Martin has stepped into the world of production. She co-founded her own production company, 3 Hearts Canvas, alongside her husband, Oli Higginson, actively working on new projects. Despite her busy schedule, Martin has expressed an openness to returning for *Camp Rock 3*, showing that even the most competitive camp rockers still hold a soft spot for the franchise.
The Latest Buzz on Camp Rock 3: What We Know in 2025
The news of a third *Camp Rock* film, often referred to as *Camp Rock 3*, has been the most exciting development for fans this year. While details are still emerging, the current information suggests a fresh approach that moves beyond the original DCOM format.
The Return of Connect 3: Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas are not only reprising their roles as the Gray brothers but are heavily involved in the film’s development as executive producers. Their involvement guarantees that the musical heart of the franchise remains authentic.
Demi Lovato's New Role: While it is a bittersweet note for fans, Demi Lovato’s executive producer role suggests a focus on storytelling rather than a full-scale on-screen reunion for Mitchie and Shane. This shift may allow the new film to explore a more mature narrative, reflecting the growth of the original characters.
New Blood: The cast is not just a nostalgia trip. New talent is being introduced, such as actor and musician Hudson Stone, who is set to make his acting debut in *Camp Rock 3*. This infusion of new characters and music is expected to bridge the gap between the original fans and a new generation of viewers, keeping the spirit of the original camp alive.
Where Are the Other Camp Rock Stars Now?
The ensemble cast brought the camp to life. Here’s a quick look at what some of the other memorable faces are doing today:
- Anna Maria Perez de Tagle (Ella Pador): The actress who played Tess Tyler's former sidekick has shifted her focus to family and social media. De Tagle married Scott Kline Jr. in 2019 and has since welcomed a child. She has found new success on platforms like TikTok, often sharing content that celebrates her Filipino heritage and family life, and was recently seen at the MIFF Gala 2025.
- Daniel Fathers (Brown Cesario): The actor who played the camp owner and former rock star, Brown Cesario, continues to have a strong career in television. Fathers has appeared in several major series, including the popular historical drama *Murdoch Mysteries* and the critically acclaimed HBO series *House of the Dragon*.
- Jasmine Richards (Peggy Dupree): Richards, who played the initially shy but talented Peggy Dupree, has mostly stepped away from acting. Her current public presence is often focused on retrospective content and interactions with fans regarding her time on the show, proving that the DCOM legacy still resonates deeply with her.
From the return of the Jonas Brothers to Alyson Stoner’s powerful advocacy and Meaghan Martin’s dramatic new roles, the *Camp Rock* cast is proving that life after a DCOM is anything but predictable. The upcoming *Camp Rock 3* promises to be a major event, not just for nostalgia, but as a continuation of a beloved musical story.
