The teen dramas had some pretty great guest stars and cameos over the years.
But did you know you can get your own personal Cameo from a teen drama star?
As I first shared more than three years ago, Cameo is a service through which you can pay celebrities on the platform to record personalized video messages for your chosen recipient. Cameo’s popularity has waxed and waned over the years, arguably peaking during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, as celebs looked for alternative ways to make money while Hollywood was largely shut down and as everyday folks looked for ways to bring some joy to difficult days.
At the time I made my original guide to the teen drama stars on Cameo, there were only a handful of cast members from each of the core six shows offering videos. Today, there are a ton more, so I figured it was time to update my list. Take a look — you might be surprised to see what some of them are charging.
