Debby Ryan

An American actress and singer. Debby Ryan is best known for starring as Bailey Pickett in the Disney Channel original series The Suite Life on Deck. That show established Ryan as a Teen Idol and became the most-watched children's show on television since its premiere in October 2008.

In 2010, she starred in the film 16 Wishes, which was the most-watched cable program on the day of its premiere on the Disney Channel and one of the most-watched movies on television. In addition, 16 Wishes introduced Ryan to new audiences, such as contemporary adult audiences, since the movie received high viewership in the young adult demographic (18-34).

She now has her on show on Disney Channel called Jessie. The show follows a girl who moves from Texas to New York to become an nanny for a family of four. In February 2012, she starred in a movie called Radio Rebel.
