Season 3 of My Life with the Walter Boys is finally here, and a familiar face has joined the cast in the latest installment.
Warning! Light spoilers ahead for My Life with the Walter Boys Season 3, now streaming on Netflix.
Perhaps the Disney Channel to My Life with the Walter Boys pipeline is real, because Jedidiah Goodacre appears in My Life with the Walter Boys Season 3. He plays Danvers Stacey, a competitive race car driver who clashes with Cole (Noah LaLonde) over prize money and career advancement. Their altercation turns physical, leaving Cole’s fate up in the air in the season finale.
Even if the name Jedidiah Goodacre does not ring a bell, you likely have seen his face before. The 37-year-old Canadian actor has been in numerous projects, including a handful of Disney Channel Original Movies.
If you are wondering where you know Goodacre from, or you just want to see more of his work, here are seven movies and TV shows featuring Jedidiah Goodacre that you should check out.

One of Jedidiah Goodacre’s most popular roles is Chad Charming in the Descendants franchise. As the son of Cinderella and Prince Charming, you would expect him to be kindhearted and down-to-earth. Nope. He clearly has a thing for playing an antagonist, because he spent three movies as an aloof yet calculated secondary villain. Goodacre is objectively hilarious in these films directed by Kenny Ortega, which not only convey what the lives of Disney characters’ kids are like, but also feature a great soundtrack.

Descendants is not the only Disney Channel Original Movie Goodacre is in. If you ever wondered what it would be like if Zendaya could control men via an app meant for dogs, then might we introduce you to Zapped. Once again, Goodacre plays a secondary antagonist, and his entire shtick is being a disgusting teenage boy—emphasis on the disgusting part because he does fart in Zendaya’s face. The movie is completely ridiculous but is also nostalgic for those growing up in the 2010s. If you want to watch Zendaya dance and put men in their place, then try watching Zapped.

Beyond Disney, Goodacre has also had recurring roles in numerous TV shows. In the spin-off series of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Goodacre played vampire Roman Sienna. Roman is first introduced as Hope Mikaelson’s (Danielle Rose Russell) classmate at the Salvatore Boarding School, and the two were love interests. Although his character was not in many episodes, he does make an additional appearance in the other Vampire Diaries spinoff series, Legacies.

Another show Goodacre has had a reprising role in is Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a Netflix original series that adapted Sabrina the Teenage Witch into a dark coming-of-age story. Goodacre plays Dorian Gray, the owner of Dorian Gray’s Room, a gentleman’s club for warlocks. Although his appearances in the series are not long, the show is still worth the watch.

In the 2024 rom-com, Goodacre acts alongside Lucy Hale in the role of Kyle. Hale plays main character, Eva, who is obsessed with true crime. When she stumbles upon a true murder case, she realizes one of the three men she is dating could be the Swipe Right Killer. We won’t reveal who the actual killer is, but let’s just say this Kyle guy is really suspicious.

Don’t let his past villain roles fool you! Jedidiah Goodacre can also play a leading man. He starred in this 2021 rom-com as Beckett Rush, a handsome actor who’s filming another installment of his medieval movie franchise. He acts alongside Rose Reid, who plays violinist Finley Sinclair, in the sweet coming-of-age movie, as the two fall in love and go on journeys of self-discovery.

In the biographical crime thriller, Goodacre stars alongside Anna Kendrick as Bachelor #2. His role is inspired by real-life Dating Game contestant Jed Mills. The film follows the true story of a serial killer who appeared on The Dating Game while actively in the middle of his murderous spree.
