isn't it strange that almost everyone was from "the zack files" ? heres a list:
Daniel Clark: who is Degrassi's Sean (Robert clark's) brother.
Jake Epstein: also from degrassi, who plays craig
Kyle Kassardjian: Who plays Owen Anthony in "naturally Sadie"
Shadia Simmons: Plays Erica in "Life with Derek"
Michael Seater: plays Derek in "life with derek"

if anyone catches more then please tell me because i thought this was very interesting! All these people started from the Zach files and still are big now! lols. Isn't it cool?

Robert Clark: plays Vaughn

Its a running joke with the actors. They call themselves the canadian childrens actors mafia. every thing is connected. Ryan cooley and Daniel Clark from degrassi were on a show together called i was a sixth grade alien. among others

"It goes there!"

If Shadia Simmons is a Canadian actress, does that mean that 'The Color of Friendship" and "Zenon: The Zequel" were filmed in Canada? It kindof makes since, why would she travel down to the States to have a small part in Zenon, though, she was a main character in TCOF. I dunno. It's just a thought. But does that mean that the other Zenon movies were filmed in Canada as well? But why would Raven travel to The Great White North (lol) to have a small part in the first movie, and an even smaller one in the third. OK, I'm done ranting know. If someone can answer my question, will you PM me please? lol

If the penny is heavier than usual, it just may be a rusty nickel.

The first two Zenon movies where shot in and around Toronto, as well as majority of the Disney Channel Original Movies. TCOF was another one.

[–] seiliez 18 years ago

Hee, I noticed that too. Today I was watching BHH, and I was like "Wow, I've seen all of these kids before on other shows together..." xD

[–] miaangel345 18 years ago

hahahh i always thought they were the same person!

[–] funnelcake 18 years ago

Lauren Collins and Jake Espein were also on Radio free Rosco and the guy who played Pronto was also on an episode of Degrassi. It is funny how everyone has been connected and most of them have ended up on Degrassi.

[–] madsx3 18 years ago

[–] heidih_123 16 years ago

[–] B3B 16 years ago

charlotte arnold who played the protagonist on naturally sadie is now playing holly j on degrassi. Damn, they really do use the same actors for many of their shows. I've seen other ppl from NS on degrassi as well.

[–] Blimey_Harry 15 years ago

Wow you'd think there was a shortage of Canadian actors or something...

So now he wants to kill me?
No he wants my candybar!

[–] sheyanne2002 15 years ago

yeh ive been thinking this for a long time, its great to know other people noticed it aswell, its always fun trying to make connections between them

Alright to answer everyone questions...

1st, reason why you see all these actors/actress over and over again in many kid shows is because they're pretty much all owned by the same company and owned by two Major kids channels Family and YTV which in turn like any other TV channel (That own the rights to shows) they tend to keep the same actors/actress for as long as possible. (trust me we have many other kid actor/actress, but like in everyone country best shows were back in the 90's which had alot more actor/actress)

And to answer about filming in Canada is simple Toronto(http://www.imdb.com/search/title?locations=Toronto,%20Ontario,%20Canada) is one of the best filming locations in the world many country's go there to film they also goto Vancouver, British Columbia (http://www.imdb.com/search/title?locations=Vancouver,%20British%20Columbia,%20Canada&sort=moviemeter) to film just because of the forest we have out there one big show that goes there alot would be Stargate they filmed there so many times just for the forest, ever the new twilight movie is filming there, Basically its because of the scenery these locations provide. not to mention most of the American shows have alot of Canadian Actor/actress in them (hell most kids shows that are owned by the USA is a full Canadian Cast filmed and directed by Canadians just the USA bought the rights to the show).
