Jordan Fisher’s 10 Best Movie & TV Roles, Ranked By IMDb

A talented actor, singer, and television host, Jordan Fisher began his career in 2009 with small parts, before moving on to recurring roles in shows like The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Liv and Maddie. Fisher had major roles in two television specials based on Broadway hits, Grease Live and Rent: Live, before taking on the leading role in the Broadway production of Dear Evan Hansen.

With the announcement that he’ll take on the role of Bart Allen in the long-running CW show The Flash, Fisher’s star continues to rise. And while his filmography is still rather short, several of his acting credentials achieved high marks on IMDb, proving just how promising this young actor’s future is.

10 The Secret Life Of The American Teenager – 5.0

It never was a critical darling, but The Secret Life of the American Teenager delivered strong numbers for ABC Family throughout its run. The initial plot centers on fifteen-year-old Amy, who discovers she’s pregnant after having sex with handsome and popular student Ricky Underwood at band camp.

Fisher portrays Jacob, Grace Bowman’s half-brother, in seasons four and five. It was his first major role, playing it for nine episodes over the course of both seasons.

9 Teen Beach Movie – 5.9

With a ludicrous yet somehow charming premise, like so many other Disney Chanel Original Movies before it, Teen Beach Movie made huge waves when it premiered in the summer of 2013. It centers on a teenage couple who find themselves transported into a swinging sixties musical as their summer affair comes to an end.

Starring alongside an ensemble cast that includes Ross Lynch, Garrett Clayton, and even Barry Bostwick, Fisher plays the part of Seacat, one of the surfer characters in the Wet Side Story movie.

8 To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You – 6.0

The sequel to the immensely successful Netflix original To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You continues Lara Jean’s story. As her relationship with Peter Kavinsky matures, another one of her former “loves” comes into the picture, shaking up her entire world in the process.

Fisher plays said former love, John Ambrose, a sweet and decent young man who shows a genuine interest in Lara Jean. The film received mainly positive reviews, although some people found it hard to justify its existence.

7 Teen Beach 2 – 6.1

Another sequel in Fisher’s filmography, Teen Beach 2 takes the action into the real world. When several characters from the sixties movie West Side Story come into the real world, lead characters Mack and Brady to deal with the situation.

Fisher once again plays the role of Seacat, who in this movie is in a relationship with biker CheeChee. Once again, the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who praised the music and dance numbers but criticized the dialogue and silly plot.

6 Work It – 6.1

Work It is a jukebox dance-comedy musical that premiered in 2020. It follows Quinn Ackerman, a girl whose college admission depends on her performance at an upcoming dance competition. Determined to win, she brings together a chaotic group of dances as she prepares to take on the best squad at her school.

Starring alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Keiynan Lonsdale, Fisher portrays Jake Taylor, a former dance champion who stopped competing after a knee injury and acts as Quinn’s group’s choreographer. One of the best-reviewed Netflix originals, the movie received praise for its light-hearted and dynamic tone.

5 Liv And Maddie – 6.3

Starring Dove Cameron as identical twins with very different personalities, Liv and Maddie ran for four seasons from 2014 until 2017. The plot centers on Liv, a famous television star whose show just ended its run, and Maddie, a high school basketball star and outstanding student whose rising popularity is threatened by Liv’s sudden return.

Fisher plays the recurring character of Holden Dippledorf, Liv’s main love interest. The show received mainly positive reviews throughout its run, with much of the praise directed at Cameron’s dual performance.

4 Rent: Live – 6.4

A television adaptation of the Tony-award-winning musical of the same name, Rent: Live premiered on Fox in January 2019. It centers on a group of struggling bohemians as they deal with economic uncertainty and the HIV/AIDS epidemic in 1980s New York.

Fisher takes on the leading role of Mark Cohen, an independent Jewish/American filmmaker whose ex-girlfriend recently entered a relationship with another woman. Contrary to its mixed IMDb score, Rent: Live received negative reviews from critics and currently holds a 29% rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, Fisher’s performance received praise.

3 Grease Live – 7.3

Also premiering on the Fox network, Grease Live received positive reception, unlike Rent: Live. Much of the praise went to the production values, the incorporation of a live audience, and the cast’s performances, particularly Vanessa Hudgens’ take on Betty Rizzo.

A mostly faithful retelling of the musical, it centers on the relationship between greaser Danny and good girl Sandy, as they attempt to rekindle their romance. Fisher takes on the role of Doody and performs one of the show’s highlights, a heartfelt rendition of “Those Magic Changes.”

2 She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power – 7.8

A reboot of the 1985 Filmation series She-Ra: Princess of Power, this Netflix adaptation premiered in November 2018. It follows teenager Adora, who can transform into the heroine She-Ra. She leads a group of princesses against the evil Lord Hordak and his monstrous Horde.

Critically acclaimed, She-Ra earned praise for its diverse cast and the relationship between the titular character and her best friend-turned-enemy, Catra. Fisher voices several characters, including Sea Hawk, Seneschal, and Soda Pop.

1 Archibald’s Next Big Thing – 7.9

Fisher voices another character in another critically acclaimed Netflix show, Finly in Archibald’s Next Big Thing. Created by Tony Hale, the show follows the adventures of a care-free, optimistic chicken named Archibald. Fisher voices Finly, Archibald’s brother who enjoys the arts, particularly singing and dancing.

The series received positive reviews and was acclaimed by audiences. Its first two seasons aired on Netflix but it moved to Peacock for its third and most recent outing, which premiered in February of this year.
