The Lizzie McGuire Reboot Cast Has Been Announced, but a Few Key Players Are Missing

Thomas is reprising his role as Lizzie's little brother Matt, who has (presumably) outgrown his days as an annoying prankster. In his immediate post-Lizzie McGuire days, he had roles on other Disney shows such as Cory in the House. As an adult, he's focussed on mostly guest roles on TV shows. His most recent project was the comedy Baja.

Todd, who plays the tough but fair McGuire mom Jo, has kept a lower profile since the series wrapped. She's wrote a pair of books: Being Young Actors and Parenting the Young Actor. On screen, she continues to be a geek icon thanks to her role as Data's daughter Lal on Star Trek: The Next Generation, but she hasn't had any major roles in a few years.

Carradine's Sam McGuire was pretty much the perfect example of the goofy mid-2000s Disney Channel dad. He's been acting since he was a teenager (and he comes from a big acting family), and his first role was on the legendary Western TV series Bonanza. Most fans will recognise him from 1984's Revenge of the Nerds as "leader" of the nerds, Lewis Skolnick. Carradine continues to work in the film industry, both as an actor and as a producer. He was involved in a car crash in 2015 but has since recovered completely.
