CAMERON PALATAS can next be seen starring in the new MTV series Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous, premiering May 2, 2013. The series follows Zach Stone, a recent high school grad who opts out of college to pursue the new American dream: becoming famous with no talent whatsoever. Palatas plays Andy Stone, brother to Zach — all American athlete, star student, and ladies man, essentially the complete opposite of his brother. Some of Palatas’ other TV credits include a recurring role on Disney’s hit series A.N.T. Farm, ABC’s October Road, and Nickelodeon’s iCarly. Palatas also recently filmed a lead role in his first feature movie: Pass the Light.
