This is a completely new story arc for a Disney Channel character since previous ventures always focused on teenage characters like Hannah Montana, whereas real life actress Debby Ryan, who plays as Jessie Prescott, is already 20 years old in real life (her alter ego, humorously, is older at age 22).
1 Max Bauer (Matthew Timmons) is Jessie's young agent who appears in  Caught Purple Handed , where he says that he is living in his mother's basement and has to pay her rent. 2  He gets Jessie her first infomercial job as a hand model, but he is fired with her after Jessie botches the job.
