News about David DeLuise

Selena Gomez and David Henrie enjoyed a sweet reunion in the first look at Disney's highly anticipated Wizards of Waverly Place sequel, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. The sneak peak at the reboot was released on Friday, and offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the show, which comes 12 years after the original series ended. The clip featured original cast members Selena, 32, (who plays Alex Russo) and David, 35, (who stars as Justin Russo). Jerry Russo, played by David DeLuise, also made a return appearance. 

Selena Gomez shared a mini reunion with some of her Wizards Of Waverly Place co-stars in new Instagram photos just one week after a sequel to the hit Disney movie was announced. In the fun snaps, the Only Murders In The Building actress, 31, who recently opened up about her body image, was joined by David Henrie, David DeLuise, and Maria Canals-Barrera. Henrie played Alex Russo, Selena's older brother, in the series, while David and Maria portrayed their parents.

Selena Gomez's character on her Disney Channel series Wizards Of Waverly Place was originally meant to be a member of the LGBTQ community, according to the series' showrunner. Executive producer Peter Murrieta said he had always imagined Gomez's character, Alex Russo, having a gay relationship with her friend Stevie, who appeared on the Wizards Of Waverly Pod show with co-hosts Jennifer Stone and David DeLuise. 'I wish we'd have played more with what was so obvious to a lot of us,' Murrieta admitted.

Selena Gomez has regrets over how her "Wizards of Waverly Place" castmates fared out after the Disney Channel show "ceased airing. On the fourth episode of "Wizards of Waverly Pod" on Sunday, the multihyphenate appeared on three episodes, revisiting her time as Alex Russo with her ex costars Jennifer Stone (who played Harper Finkle) and David DeLuise (who played Gomez's father, Jerry Russo). Gomez, who seemed to be zooming in from a music recording studio, was a wizard in preparation with her siblings, who were all under their father's tutelage in NYC. "I'm so lucky and grateful" during the interview, Gomez expressed her admiration for how the cast made her feel during the show's five-year run, telling Stone and DeLuise, "I'm so fortunate and grateful." ... This is a documentary about a woman named 'Eve'. I've never had the impression that I was with the entire 'Wizards' crew." "It was definitely the happiest time for me," Gomez, who has gone on to have success on various platforms, said.

The things you do for a good friend. Following the launch of Selena Gomez's intimate "My Mind & Me" film, the actor made a professional sacrifice years ago for one of her closest friends at the time, Demi Lovato. Gomez turned down the lead in "Camp Rock" to ensure that it would travel to Lovato, according to television producer David DeLuise, who portrayed the Russo family's beloved patriarch on "Wizards of Waverly Place." "I've never really said this story, but..." . . Selena heard about "Camp Rock" at the time, according to DeLuise. "And Selena knew that if she had passed on it, Demi would have been able to perform." Gomez had already made her name in "Wizards of Waverly Place" as Alex Russo, but it was reportedly that in an attempt to help Lovato get her own big break, she gave up the opportunity so her friend could have it instead.
