This latest installment, premiering on Disney Channel and streaming on Disney+, brings with it a fresh face and a talented young actress, Lumi Pollack, who is about to become a household name.
The Rising Star
Lumi Pollack, a mere 17 years old, has already made her mark in the industry with roles in 'The Fallout' and 'Electric Bloom'. Now, she steps into the iconic 'Camp Rock' franchise, a musical powerhouse that launched the careers of Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers.
