Brooks and Tony reunite!!
Pierson Fode and Chris Galya got together recently to reminisce on their Jessie days.
The guys played Brooks Wentworth and Tony Chiccolini, respectively, who were both love interests for Debby Ryan‘s Jessie Prescott.
While Pierson only came onto the show for five episodes in seasons three and four, Chris was on the show throughout it’s entirety for a total of 23 episodes.
In a recent YouTube video, the two guys watched each of their first and last scenes on the Disney Channel series, and shared some tidbits about them.
Pierson expressed that he thought he was going to get fired on the first day, and he didn’t ever know just how many episodes he was going to be on.
“I remember looking around on set, and I was like, ‘F–k, I think I might get fired.’ I don’t know why that was a thought,” he said. “Somebody told me that, ‘Yeah, a lot of actors have made it on these shows and they couldn’t cut the jokes right, and they just get fired on day one.’”
We’re glad he got to stick around!!
The cast of Jessie just had a virtual reunion!

Debby Ryan and Skai Jackson are honoring their Jessie co-star, Cameron Boyce.
The 26-year-old and 17-year-old actress both paid tribute to Cameron’s memory in touching Instagram posts on Thursday (July 11).
Cameron died suddenly in sleep after suffering a seizure on on July 6.
“This ripped me up. I keep trying and I can’t make anything make sense,” Debby wrote in her emotional post. “He was blameless, and relentlessly joyful; he was good. Through and through, Cam is good, in all ways and to all people. And the most alive. It’s wrong. I am so confused and devastated and angry. But that isn’t very Cam. He’d cast any shade of sadness or darkness in colors of positivity; he couldn’t help himself but to always leave you smiling, or laughing, or dancing. So sincere, kid Truth. He was good. My heart is with his parents, Vic and Libby, full of grace, and his wonderful sister Maya. An unimaginable sorrow. I’m grateful for our Jessie family, with whom to uniquely grieve our guy — Peyton, Skai, Kevin and Karan, whose soul is also far too special to have to experience this depth of grief. There are beautiful connections and beams of light, ever present, truly the fingerprints of Cam still around and showing up in the midst of this. I love him so much. Forever. You’re alive in the legacy of love you built, and I will keep that light burning in me for the rest of my journey. The world was robbed. We’re better for you.”
Skai shared her own message on Thursday (July 11), along with a video of Cameron singing.
“#tbt @thecameronboyce was such a talented actor and a phenomenal dancer. What most people didn’t know was that he also was a very good singer,” she wrote. “I remember years ago, my mom would tell him that his voice is so good and the girls love him, he could be as big as Justin Bieber or better. He would say, ‘Umm, I don’t know. Maybe one day.’ Singing was not his passion but he could definitely hold his own. -Ordinary People by @johnlegend #CameronBoyce.”

They were as close as actual brothers and sisters to one another, and still are, and my heart breaks for them today.”
“Our love and heartfelt prayers go out to them, and most especially, to the Boyce family. Your Cameron was a blessing to us, as he was to so many others in this world. May you feel the breadth of love being poured out for him today, and may God comfort you as you mourn,” Charles added.
Kevin Chamberlin, who played the butler Bertram, shared how Cameron would always light up the room.
“Our ‘Jessie’ family has been devastated by the sad and untimely passing of our beloved Cameron Boyce. He always lit up a room when he entered-he was an extraordinarily talented actor, a selfless advocate with his charity work, and a loyal friend.Our hearts are heavy with sadness,” he wrote.
