Get To Know Julie & The Phantoms' Charlie Gillespie! (Exclusive)

Charlie Gillespie is starring in the brand new musical series Julie and the Phantoms!

The actor takes on the role of Luke in the show, from High School Musical and Descendants‘ Kenny Ortega, who serves as an executive producer on the series.

Here’s a synopsis: High schooler Julie (Madison Reyes) lost her passion for music after her mom died last year. But when the ghosts of three dreamy musicians (Charlie, Owen Joyner, and Jeremy Shada) from 1995 suddenly appear in her mom’s old music studio, Julie feels her own inner spirit beginning to reawaken, and she’s inspired to start singing and writing songs again. As their friendship with Julie grows, the boys convince her to create a new band together: Julie and the Phantoms.

You may recognize Charlie from his roles in Charmed or Degrassi: Next Class. He can also be seen in the movies Speed Kills and Runt.
