The movie arm of “Hannah Montana” came in 2009. Before then, from 2006 to 2011, Musso was part of the series “Hannah Montana” on Disney Channel. He was a part of the main cast in seasons one to three and a recurring cast member in season four. In all, he was a part of this show for 75 episodes.
In 2011, Disney created a show for Musso called “Prankstars”. It was a reality show shown once a month in which children met their favorite celebrity in an “unpredictable and humorous” way. By this time, Musso was already a star in “Pair of Kings” the Disney sitcom which tells the story of the twin Brady which Musso played and his brother Bommer played by Doc Shaw. One of the main cast players was a certain Kesley Chow.
In late 2011, Musso was pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence. This was a major blow to his acting career as Disney wrote his career of “Pair of Kings” and canceled “Prankstars”. The latter is still his last appearance on TV. He was a part of another TV series “Milo Murphy’s Law” between 2016 and 2018 but this was an animated show and no one saw him.
