Jordan Fisher
Jordan Fisher is an actor, born 1994.
Fisher came up through the Disney Channel pipeline, which is a specific training: sing, dance, act, all at once, on a tight schedule. He had recurring roles on The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Liv and Maddie, and played Seacat in Teen Beach Movie and its sequel, which is where most viewers first noticed him.
The musical work is where he is best. He was Doody in Grease Live, a broadcast performed in one continuous go while cameras moved between sets, and then Mark Cohen in the 2019 live television version of Rent, which is a lead. Both are technically brutal jobs and he does them without visible strain, which is the entire skill.
The rest of the screen work has been pleasant and largely undemanding: John Ambrose in the second To All the Boys film, a dance-movie role in Work It, a romantic lead in Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between. There is a lot of voice acting as well, Seahawk in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Finly in Archibald's Next Big Thing, and Robaire of the fictional boy band 4*Town in Turning Red, a small role in a very good film and probably the most-heard performance on this page.

Where to start with Jordan Fisher
Go to Rent if you care what he can actually do: a lead in a live musical broadcast, singing and acting simultaneously with a camera crew moving around him. If that lands, Grease Live is the same trick in a smaller part.
Teen Beach Movie is the Disney Channel version of him and charming on its own terms; Liv and Maddie is the sitcom equivalent. Turning Red is the best film he appears in by a distance, though he is one voice in a boy band. The most fun voice role is She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, because Seahawk is written as a walking joke and Fisher commits to it totally. To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You and Work It are the streaming romances, and they are precisely what they look like.
