Did You Know This Actress Almost Played Olivia Rodrigo's Nini On 'HSMTMTS'?
If you didn’t know, Saylor Bell was a finalist in the running for the role of Nini Salazar-Roberts, and later, ended up being cast as Maddox in season three.
Creator and showrunner Tim Federle revealed the fun fact over the summer as the show’s third season premiered.
“[Saylor] was an original finalist for Nini. We never forgot her and we’re so happy she’s in our world now,” he shared on Instagram.
Saylor is no stranger to being on a Disney show. She previously appeared in a few episodes of I Didn’t Do It as Young Jasmine, aka playing the younger version of her real life older sister Piper‘s character, as well as a guest star appearance on an episode of Sydney to the Max.
Another fun fact: Both Olivia and Saylor were on an episode of New Girl together! (It’s season six, episode 18 if you want to go check it out.)
