Birmingham Native Jordan Fisher to Compete on "Dancing With The Stars"

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Actor and singer Jordan Fisher has done his fair share of dancing on the Broadway stage and television alike, but he's in for a whole new challenge as a cast member of "Dancing With The Stars." Fisher will compete with partner Lindsay Arnold in the ballroom dancing competition's 25th season.

The 23 year old was raised in Birmingham, performing with the Birmingham Children's Theatre and Red Mountain Theatre Company before being scouted by the Disney Channel and moving out to Los Angeles in 2011. He's had multiple spots on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows and has been featured in "Teen Beach Movie" and its sequel, as well as the made-for-tv musical "Grease." He recently completed a run on Broadway as John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in the hit musical "Hamilton."

Fisher joins the DWTS cast alongside swimmer Victoria Arlen, wrestler Nikki Bella, "Shark Tank" star Barabara Corcoran, Derek Fisher, singer Debbie Gibson, singer Nick Lachey, model and host Vanessa Lachey, actor Frankie Muniz, former NFL player Terrell Owens, actress Sasha Pieterse, "Property Brothers" host Drew Scott, and violinist Lindsey Sterling.

Owens, better known as T.O., is also an Alabama native, born and raised in Alexander City.
