Corey Fogelmanis played the role of Farkle Minkus on the sitcom. After it, he worked on several projects, including Moxie and Octavia Spencer's horror feature, Ma.

He has maintained a close bond with Carpenter, cheering her on all the pursuits of her life. Their friendship even spurred speculations that the two were dating, but it was a rumor. 

While Fogelmanis has appeared in movies and series after the Disney show, he told V Magazine that acting was not his top priority.

It was education, and the actor admittedly was trying to find a balance between them.

Peyton Meyer

Peyton Meyer portrayed Lucas Friar, Riley's love interest. This cast member of the series is now a married man and a father. 

He announced his marriage to musician Taela on October 11, 2021. He is a stepfather to River, Taela's son, and the couple is expecting their first kid as of this time of writing.
