Disney Channel's Mitchel Musso stars in "Pair of Kings"

July 6, 2010

The series that debuts this fall around the world follows Brady and Boomer, who are being raised by their aunt and uncle. Their lives drastically change when Mason, the Royal Secretary to the Throne of the Island of Kinkow, arrives at their high school and informs the stunned boys of their extraordinary lineage. Now, Brady and Boomer must relocate to the island to claim their throne as joint Kings of an island filled with odd superstitions and customs - while trying not to cause havoc at every turn. Their efforts are often helped and hindered by Mason's adorable daughter, Mikayla, and a disgruntled cousin and wannabe king, Lanny, who's out to sabotage them and steal the throne. Rounding out the cast is Geno Segers (touring production of Disney's "The Lion King") as Mason, Kelsey Chow ("One Tree Hill") as Mikayla and Ryan Ochoa (Disney's "A Christmas Carol") as Lanny.

A familiar face and voice on Disney Channel, Mitchel created the role of Oliver Oken, eternal optimist and Miley and Lilly's loyal best friend, in the Emmy-nominated hit Disney Channel Original Series "Hannah Montana". He can also be heard in Disney XD's Emmy-nominated animated comedy series "Phineas and Ferb," as the voice of Jeremy Johnson, a handsome teen who works at Mr. Slushy Burger and is the object of Candace's affection. Fans will learn more about Jeremy and Candice's relationship in this summer's Phineas and Ferb special. The one-hour episode "Summer Belongs To You" will premiere in August on Disney XD. This primetime special will feature a duet with Clay Aiken and Chaka Khan as the Phineas and Ferb gang attempt to fly around the world in one day. But for once, not everyone believes they can actually achieve what they've set out to do.

Mitchel was first introduced to Disney Channel viewers in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Life is Ruff." He went on to star in Disney Channel Original Movie "Hatching Pete" and was seen in Walt Disney Pictures' feature film "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
