Film and TV actor Yani Gellman was 17 years old when he was cast to play Paolo — the famous and hot Italian pop star who uses Lizzie McGuire to embarrass his former singing partner — in Disney’s 2003 family/comedy film “The Lizzie McGuire Movie.”
Gellman was part of an ensemble cast, obviously starring Hilary Duff as the recent junior high graduate heading to Rome for a class trip, Lizzie, Adam Lamberg as Lizzie’s intelligent best friend, David AKA Gordo, and Hallie Todd as Lizzie’s loving mom, Jo.
From 2011-2012, Yani played Garrett Reynolds on “Pretty Little Liars.”
