The Carrie Diaries alum looks back fondly on those early Disney Channel days, especially as his career has continued to blossom.
“I remember getting my first line on a TV show, and that was huge for me, you have all these different moments that are pivotal for you,” he explained, “but now I’m just going after whatever story resonates with me or whatever director or actors that I really want to work with.”
As for what to expect from Paramount+’s James-less Zoey 102, the network teased in January that the movie will reunite the former classmates at an unspecified wedding set in the present day.
In addition to Spears, Zoey 101 stars Erin Sanders, Sean Flynn, Matthew Underwood, Christopher Massey, Abby Wilde and Jack Salvatore reprise their roles in the movie.
