Lizzie McGuire is the Disney Channel show that made all your other fave Disney Channel shows possible, and its star, Hilary Duff, paved the way for the Disney Channel stars we know and love, like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Zendaya. You may have seen every single episode, but did you know that Hilary almost didn't land the role of Lizzie?!

Someone else almost got the role of Lizzie McGuire. Before Hilary Duff landed the lead, actress Sara Paxton was briefly considered for the role. Although she didn't end up playing Lizzie, she did make an appearance in the episode "Election". http://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/m...1442_167015199
Well I mean, every Disney show has had several actresses audition. I mean, JoJo and Brittany Underwood (Hollywood Heights) were considered for Hannah Montana and Raven Baxter wouldn't have been named that if Raven didn't get the part, as with Miley obviously.
and Hilary sings better 
She would've been a good Lizzie, tbh.
