Caroline's name may be 'Sunshine' but while she acted as 'Tinka' in 'Shake It Up' she had a mean competitive streak. After the show ended, Caroline graduated high school and went on to travel the world on a mission trip in 2014. Recently, Caroline is joining the White House press office in the role of press assistant. Hope she doesn't resign, too.

Zendaya played the zany Rocky Blue on the show. Following the end of 'Shake It Up' Zendaya's star power only grew once the show ended. The young actress has made several appearances in 'Dancing With the Stars' as a contestant and 'Project Runway' as a guest judge. She also made an appearance in Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' music video.

7. Kenton Duty

Kento played Tinka's twin brother Gunther and he was just so darn FABULOUS. The actor left the show in 2012, following which he was briefly a part of musical group Invasion. The rockstar quit the group and went forward with his solo career. In 2014, Kenton released a lyrical video for his song 'Dare To Love' with Mandy Rain in 2014.

8. Ainsley Bailey 

Deuce's eccentric girlfriend Dina Garcia was played by Ainsley Bailey.
