If you ever tuned into Disney Channel during the late 2000s, there’s a good chance that you’ll be familiar with David Henrie.
The California-born actor won his first main role in Fox sitcom “The Pitts,” but the show was canceled after two months.
Shortly after, he landed a recurring role in Disney favorite “That’s So Raven” as Larry, one of Cory’s best friends.
In 2005, he began starring as Luke Mosby, Ted’s future son in “How I Met Your Mother,” and in 2007 he finally got his big break (viaIMDb).
Of course, this was his role as Justin Russo, the eldest (and most responsible) of the three Russo siblings in “Wizards of Waverly Place,” one of Disney’s most successful sitcoms to date.
Even today, it’s probably the role he’s most closely associated with, though he also appeared in other Disney media once “Waverly Place” took off.
He starred in the straight-to-TV movie “Dadnapped” in 2009 and popped up in “Jonas,” playing himself, a year later (viaTV Guide).
It’s easy to think of Henrie as still being the young adult he was back in his Disney days he got the role of Justin when he was just 18, perGossip Cop.
Over a decade’s passed since then, however, and this is what the Disney star looks like today.
