'Drake & Josh': The Cast Today

Do you ever wonder where the lead actors of the hit Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh ended up? The series about two stepbrothers living together who couldn't be more different — with one being a nerd and the other a cool musician — was popular when it aired from 2004-2007, launching the careers of several of its stars.

Whether they have disappeared from the acting scene or continued on with their careers, here is what we know about the celebs who played "Drake Parker," "Josh Nichols," and more. Click through the slides to see what the Drake & Josh cast looks like now, and what they've been up to!

Drake Bell and Josh Peck starred opposite one another in the series as "Drake Parker" and "Josh Nichols". While fans of the series will remember them looking like this, both actors have certainly grown up over the years...

Drake Bell continued acting after Drake & Josh, appearing in series like 2017's Dan Is Dead and 2018's Highly Gifted. He also began a musical career, singing Spanish songs under the name Drake Campana. It was recently revealed that he has been married for three years and has a son! The actor has also been in trouble with the law due to reckless behaviour. Bell was sentenced to two years' probation after pleading guilty in a child endangerment case in July 2021.

Josh Peck has continued his career in the film industry with a variety of voice and acting roles after Drake & Josh. And while he can still be seen on television today, he is now a Disney star! The actor currently plays "Scott Turner" in the Disney+ series Turner & Hooch, about a U.S. Marshall who ends up finding an unlikely partner in his new dog. He will also be seen as "Drew" in the upcoming How I Met Your Mother spinoff, How I Met Your Father.

Nancy Sullivan and Jonathan Goldstein played "Drake" and "Josh's" parents, "Audrey Parker-Nichols" and "Walter Nichols," while Miranda Cosgrove played the brothers' sister/stepsister "Megan Parker". It seems that Sullivan has largely stepped away from acting after Drake & Josh, with only a few roles since the show and no new IMDb credits since 2017. However, her on-screen husband and daughter have continued to make a name for themselves in the entertainment world!

Miranda Cosgrove can thank Drake & Josh for kickstarting her career! Cosgrove went on to star in her own Nickelodeon series, iCarly, in 2007, and released her debut album, Sparks Fly. The actress has also had roles in a variety of television shows and films, including the popular animated film Despicable Me, where she voices "Margo". She recently reprised her role as "Carly Shay" for the iCarly reboot on Paramount+.

Jonathan Goldstein is another actor whose career took an interesting turn after Drake & Josh! Goldstein has continued working in the industry, taking on guest roles in television shows like NCIS, Lucifer, and Fear the Walking Dead. He also directed the 2018 film Game Night alongside John Francis Daley, and wrote the screenplays for Spider-Man: Homecoming and Horrible Bosses.
