Cameron was most famous for starring in Jessie and the Descendants but fans many not know that he got his first acting role in a Panic! at the Disco music video.
Before landing roles in Disney series like Shake It Up and Good Luck Charlie, Cameron was cast as the child version of Ryan Ross in the video for Panic!'s Pretty.Odd single 'That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)'.
The visual actually starts with Cameron opening a Russian Doll which contains the band. Panic! then run into a field and open themselves up like Russian Dolls and Cameron and child versions of Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith and Jon Walker jump out of them.
Cameron was just 8-years-old when he starred in the video. Discussing it in a behind the scenes clip, Cameron said: "I've never been in a music video before and especially because I get to be like a mini me of Ryan Ross it's really cool."
In the same video, Brendon says: "They're definitely way more talented and photogenic than us so it's kind of fun to watch".
