Biography

Selena Gomez is a singer and actress who was born on July 22, 1992 in New York City. The only child in her family, she grew up enjoying acting, singing, and cheerleading. One of her earliest roles was on the children’s television show Barney and Friends, where she played the role of Gianna. Gomez is close friends with her fellow Barney alumni, Demi Lovato, and both of them have worked for the Disney Channel. Among the other series that Gomez has acted in are The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana. She also had roles in feature films such as Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire and Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.

Alex Russo is portrayed by Selena Gomez in the Disney Channel Original television series Wizards of Waverly Place. She is 14 years old, and the middle child of the Russo family. Her older brother is Justin, and her younger brother is Max. She is self-confident with her use of magic, yet remains undisciplined in the use of her magical powers, and often finds herself competing with her brothers for the right to keep her powers. Their magical abilities often require them to help each other out. Alex is best friends with Harper.
