It's been ten years since the first episode of Jessie aired on Disney Channel and the witty and rebellious teen stole our hearts. Since then, many of its stars, including Debby Ryan, Peyton List, the late Cameron Boyce, Skai Jackson, and Karan Brar ventured off and elevated their career to another level after the show ended.
They weren't the only ones who got their head start from the show, though. It may come as no surprise for many as Disney shows are a fertile ground of celeb cameos, but these A-list celebs made their way to Jessie. To sum it up, here are ten celebrity guest stars on Disney's Jessie, from Noah Centineo to Michelle Obama.
10 Katherine McNamara
Shadow Hunters and Arrow star Katherine McNamara joined Jessie as Bryn Breitbart, a sassy and snobby mean girl at Walden High School and Emma Ross' enemy on two episodes from Season 2. Professionally, the 25-year-old star is also known for acting in the dystopian franchise Maze Runner. She's now gearing up for an upcoming spy thriller Agent Game with Dermot Mulroney and Mel Gibson.
9 Noah Centineo
Before To All The Boys I've Loved shot him to massive stardom, Noah Centineo played a jerk on Jessie. Centineo, then 18, took the role of Rick Larkin on the "Hoedown Showdown" episode from Season 3. Now, is set to join the DC Comics superhero family as Atom Smasher on the upcoming Black Adam movie, coming to theaters in 2022.
8 Genevieve Hannelius
G Hannelius played Mackenzie, an all-evil antagonist with nothing but taking her revenge on Connie, on the "Creepy Connie 3: The Creepening" episode from Season 3 of Jessie. Professionally, the Young Artist Award-winning actress has been keeping herself busy with filming movies. Along for the Ride, a movie adaptation of the novel of the same name will see the Los Angeles-based actress back on the silver screen.
7 Stefanie Scott
Flipped star Stefanie Scott joined Jessie's star-studded cast members to portray the minor role of Maybelle in "Hoedown Showdown" with Centineo from Season 3. Besides acting, Scott has expanded her impressive portfolio in the entertainment industry and released her debut EP, New Girl in Town, back in 2009.

6 Francesca Capaldi
Before making her cameo on Jessie, child actress Francesca Capaldi was a regular on Dog with a Blog from 2012 until 2015. She has a guest role as Madeline on Jessie in the "What a Steal" episode.

5 Michelle Obama
Of course, who could forget the former First Lady Michelle Obama on the show? She played herself in "From the White House to Our House" to raise awareness about the needs of veteran families. Interestingly, she also served as one of the keynote speakers during Disney's Veterans Institute back in 2014. The episode itself centers around the main's character struggle of planning a birthday party for a child whose mother was deployed by the military.

She gained critical recognition for her work in The Vast of Night and, hopefully, there's more to come from the star.
3 Maia Mitchell
Next, there's Maia Mitchell who portrayed Shaylee, an infamous Australian actress who later befriends the Ross family. That said, Jessie must always have a special place in her as it was her debut on American TV.
