Highlights
- Drake Bell’s career has faced setbacks due to bankruptcy and legal issues, but he disclosed being a victim of abuse.
- Jerry Trainor has continued to work steadily after his Nickelodeon days, but has not achieved the same level of success.
- Miranda Cosgrove, who appeared in every episode of
Drake & Josh
, has found significant success in
iCarly
and
Despicable Me
, and is reportedly worth $10 million.
From 2004 until 2007, Nickelodeon fans everywhere tuned into the popular channel to see their favorite family-friendly shows. While there is always going to be some debate over which Nickelodeon shows were the best, it certainly seems like most people would include Drake & Josh in a list like that.
Of course, there were a lot of people who worked to make Drake & Josh the success that it ultimately became. For example, it is abundantly clear that the show’s talented cast played a pivotal role in so many people loving Drake & Josh so much. For that reason, most longtime fans of the beloved sitcom are interested in finding out what the show’s most memorable cast members are up to now, including how rich they all are.
Updated March 2024:Drake Bell made headlines after the March 21 documentary, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” was released on Investigation Discovery network. For the first time, Bell comes forward and reveals that he was abused by acting and dialogue coach, Brian Peck, who worked on “All That”. As a result, the number of celebrities who wrote letters on behalf of Peck over the years have since rescinded their support and have thrown it behind Bell instead. Bell’s former co-star, Josh Peck (no relation) has also reached out privately to speak to Bell about the situation. Neither he nor Bell have disclosed what the conversations have been about, other than Josh is being very supportive of Bell.
8 Drake Bell
Net Worth: $600k
- Drake Bell as Drake Parker
When Drake Bell’s childhood acting career was at its zenith, it seemed like he was going to be a big star as an adult. After all, Bell starred in All That and Drake & Josh at the same time, which is an impressive achievement.
Unfortunately, however, Bell’s life has hit the skids over the years. For example, Bell declared bankruptcy in 2014. Worse yet, Bell pleaded guilty to attempted child endangerment in 2021, which has almost certainly ensured that his acting career is mostly over.
Additionally, Bell has come out as of March 2024 that he was the victim of repeated abuse by dialect and voice coach, Brian Peck. Peck was sentenced to 16 months in prison and had to register as a sex offender. However, with the damage that has been done to Bell’s mental health over the years, it makes sense as to why he has retired from acting.
Drake Bell’s net worth in 2024 is estimated to be around $600,000.
7 Jerry Trainor
Net Worth: $1.5 Million
- Jerry Trainor as Crazy Steve
For most Nickelodeon fans, Jerry Trainor will always be best remembered for playing iCarly’s Spencer Shay. However, big Drake & Josh fans will no doubt remember that before Trainor began starring in iCarly, he played “Crazy” Steve in 10 episodes of Drake & Josh.
Since his Nickelodeon days, Trainor has continued to steadily work. However, Trainor has not found the same success that he had with iCarly or Drake & Josh. Some of the most recent projects that Trainor has worked on, according to IMDb, include:

Mostly due to his years starring in iCarly and the show’s recent revival, Trainor is worth $1.5 million in 2024.
6 Nancy Sullivan
Net Worth: $2 Million
- Nancy Sullivan as Audrey Parker-Nichols
Since Nickelodeon focused on making shows for kids, most of the channel’s shows revolved around young characters and Drake & Josh was no exception. Despite that, Drake & Josh did feature some more adult characters, including Josh’s stepmother, Audrey, who was brought to life by Nancy Sullivan.
Since Sullivan’s character appeared in all but one episode of Drake & Josh, it makes sense that a lot of people remember the actor fondly. Even though it has been several years since Sullivan acted last, she still has a $2 million fortune.
5 Allison Scagliotti
Net Worth: $3 Million
- Allison Scagliotti as Mindy Crenshaw
Even though Allison Scagliotti only appeared in seven episodes of Drake & Josh, her character made a huge impact on fans. After all, Scagliotti portrayed Mindy Crenshaw, Josh’s one-time science fair rival turned girlfriend.

As a result of all the success she has enjoyed during her career, Scagliotti is worth an estimated $3 million in 2024.
4 Julia Duffy
Net Worth: $4 Million
- Julia Duffy as Mrs. Hayfer
During four episodes of Drake & Josh, Julia Duffy portrayed the kids’ teacher Mrs. Hayfer. While that was a relatively minor role, Duffy enjoyed an incredible amount of success throughout the rest of her career.

Net Worth: $6 Million
- Josh Peck as Josh Nichols
When most people think about Drake & Josh, it is the show’s two titular characters who come to mind first and foremost. For that reason, Josh Peck continues to hold a special place in the hearts of most people who loved the hit show.
