After starring in Drake & Josh, from 2004-2007, which follows stepbrothers Drake Parker (Drake Bell) and Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) as they live together despite having opposing personalities, Peck went on to star in films including Mean Creek, Drillbit Taylor, The Wackness, ATM and Red Dawn. He also voiced Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He also starred in a Netflix comedy, Take the 10.
