From Zoey 101 to the King: Austin Butler's Filmography Odyssey (Emphasis on the VERY Odd-y)
You just finished watching Austin Butler absolutely crush it as Elvis in that new flick, and whoa, Nelly, are you impressed! But where did this charismatic chameleon come from? Well, buckle up, buttercup (see what I did there?), because Austin's acting journey is wilder than a greased-up skateboard at a roller disco.

| What Other Movies Has Austin Butler Played In |
From Nickledeon to Nightclubs: The Early Days
Austin started out young, gracing our screens on shows like Zoey 101 and iCarly. Yes, you read that right, the King of Rock and Roll once shared screen time with Drake and Josh. Let's just say those teenage heartthrob roles were a far cry from the hip-swiveling, microphone-stand-abusing Elvis we all know and (now) love.
There was also a little-known Disney Channel detour involving a High School Musical spin-off called Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure. Let's just say, the less said about bedazzled costumes and singing Sharpay Evans, the better.
But hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere, right? At least it wasn't directly to a biopic about a musical legend... that would have been awkward.
Finding His Groove (Not Literally, Though That Would Be Impressive)
After his Disney days, Austin landed roles in some more, ahem, independent films. We're talking titles like "The Bling Ring" (about a real-life celebrity robbery ring) and "Yoga Hosers" (directed by Kevin Smith, which is basically a guarantee of... something interesting). These weren't exactly Oscar-bait, but they definitely showed Austin's willingness to take risks.
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
Basically, the man wasn't afraid to get a little weird. Which, honestly, is a great quality for someone who would eventually portray a rhinestone-clad rock and roll icon.
From Tex to King: Landing Bigger Roles (and Avoiding Murder Charges)
In 2019, Austin landed a role in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." He played Tex Watson, a member of the Manson Family. Let's hope that was just some impressive acting and not, you know, foreshadowing for a future Elvis role.
This was a turning point for Austin, showcasing his ability to handle more serious characters. Plus, hey, working with Tarantino is basically a Hollywood rite of passage at this point.
And Then There Was Elvis: Putting on the Blue Suede Shoes (and Avoiding Wardrobe Malfunctions)
And then came the big one: Elvis. Transforming into the King of Rock and Roll is no small feat, but Austin absolutely nailed it. The dedication, the moves, the questionable sideburns – it was all there.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
This movie is sure to solidify Austin Butler as a major Hollywood player. Just please, someone make sure he doesn't get stuck in a jumpsuit forever. We all love Elvis, but variety is the spice of life, you know?
