After scoring stuntman Dick Daring (Daran Norris) and British spy Agent K (Kath Soucie) as their parents, the kids continue to replace various problem adults in their lives and have to deal with the consequences.
On the Nov. 18 episode, Riley wants to make her crush, baseball teammate Johnny Hitswell, jealous. She replaces her pool's lifeguard with hunky, 14-year-old Davey Hunkerhoff (Mike) so she can flirt with him in front of Johnny. Unfortunately, she doesn't count on Davey's feelings, and when he finds out her scheming ways, he closes the pool.

Director Adam Shankman wasn't really sold on Mike at first because his clean-cut image was "very Disney, very Mouseketeery." But the teen actor proved he could bring the "little bit more edge" required for the role in auditions and eventually won Shankman over. He beat out as many as 200 other contenders for the lead role.
Mike will act alongside John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow and the newly discovered Nicole Blonsky. Production is scheduled to start Sept. 5, which means Mike will have to postpone enrolling in USC where he was recently accepted.
