And the makeup artist was like, Jenna, you’ve got makeup on, be careful!” says Jenna. I did the first one and then I started balling.

Jenna used to twirl with her baton, look into the mirror and say, “Hi, I’m Jenna Ortega and you’re watching Disney Channel.” Ariana even taped herself at four years old doing her own Wand ID. The cast was emotional when it was time to create their Wand IDs for The Disney Channel. But now we have parents walking up to like, ‘Oh, you’re one of my favorite characters! You’re one of my kid’s favorite characters!’ says Nicolas Bechtel, who plays Lewie. “It’s really cool when even the parents walk up to you and they say, ‘My family watches, I love your show.’ And so when we started off we thought it was just going to be a kids’ show, and only kids were going to watch it.

So it’s pretty big.” It’s such a close match to her own life that Cerina Vincent, who plays her mom Suzy, though the show was actually based on Jenna. And they’re always over at the house because we babysit them so there’s eight kids in my family I guess you could say. But my sister just had another nephew so now there’s eight of us. Jenna is actually from a large family herself. “I’m one of six kids but if you add one of my nephews there’s seven.
