2012 marked the year that Ashley Tisdale began to pursue more adult roles. She moved from the Disney Channel to the CW in the years prior, and that helped audiences see Tisdale as a stronger actor. Children who grow up in the industry can have a hard time finding more adult roles as they age, but Tisdale steps into the roles effortlessly with a pair of TV shows in 2012 that end up among her best.
Sons of Anarchy follows the members of a motorcycle club and examines their relationships to one another and those outside of the club. It follows themes of brotherhood and loyalty most clearly. Tisdale is not a regular in the show but instead appears in a handful of episodes as Emma Jean, a high-priced call girl who becomes embedded with the motorcycle club.
Tisdale did not actually have to audition for the role. A fan of the show, as she explained to Collider in 2012, she would have likely been excited to play any role, but showrunner Kurt Sutter actually asked Tisdale’s father, who built both Tisdale’s house and did work on Sutter’s, if she would be interested in the role. She said yes, knowing that it would be completely different from how fans had seen her in the past and that it would help her grow as an actor:
I’m doing a lot of stuff that’s completely out of my comfort zone. I think that’s the key. I used to want to make sure that every step was thought out. With every project I did, I had to make sure I was comfortable. But, when you’re growing, even as a person, you have to just get out there. The only way to grow is to challenge yourself.

Raising Hope has both a dark and quirky premise. Jimmy (Lucas Neff) is a twenty-something who ends up with custody of a toddler after it’s revealed he fathered Hope during a one-night-stand. That one night just happened to be with a convicted serial killer, which is how he ends up with custody to begin with.
Ashley Tisdale only appears in one episode of Raising Hope, but it’s definitely a memorable one. In the episode, she plays a member of an improv troupe whois hired to pretend to be main character Jimmy’s girlfriend. She and her improv troupe help Jimmy impress the girl of his dreams, allowing him to enter into the relationship he really wants.
Tisdale is a great addition to the improv troupe in this episode. She’s very funny and very heartfelt, and it’s enough to make you wish she had done more rom-coms. Tisdale has not done many of them in her career, but her timing here makes it clear she could have.

Hellcats is Tisdale’s first big role after finishing her time on the Disney Channel. The hope was clearly that those who had grown up watching the most recent iteration of the Disney Channel would be tuning in as Tisdale was cast alongside Aly Michalka, another former Disney Channel star.
The series followed a collegiate cheerleading team with Michalka’s character only trying out for the team in a bid to get an athletic scholarship as she could no longer afford her tuition. Michalka and Tisdale’s characters are the odd couple of the series, paired up as roommates who clash, but who ultimately become friends despite their differences.
Here, Tisdale plays a young woman from a conservative Christian family who wants nothing to do with her after she decides to leave the Christian college she was attending for a more secular institution. She is the cheerleading captain, drawing on Tisdale’s experience with choreography from previous roles. The role is a good transitional one for Tisdale, happening between her teen roles on Disney and her more adult roles later in her career.
Tisdale and Michalka had great chemistry and the show was building some great character arcs when it was unfortunately canceled after its first season.

High School Musical 3 was the first of the trilogy to get a big screen theatrical release after the previous movies were Disney Channel originals. While it showed that Disney believed in the movie, it was not the best of the three for Tisdale’s Sharpay.
The movie focused on what it meant for the ensemble characters to be moving on from their high school lives, forcing characters like Zac Efron’s Troy to find a way to choose between his love for basketball and the performing arts. Sharpay’s character, however, was targeted by the new addition to the cast, Tiara Gold (Jemma McKenzie-Brown), who wants to take over Sharpay’s spot as the queen bee in the drama department.
While Ashley Tisdale is pitch-perfect as Sharpay, the third movie feels very much like the franchise took her character backward. She is still scheming to upstage Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) as someone else schemes to upstage her. It does not allow Sharpay to entirely look forward the way so many of the rest of the characters do, which does not make Tisdale’s arc the most satisfying, though that may be why she was also given a solo movie to follow this one up.

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody continues the Disney Channel’s trend of putting ordinary kids in extraordinary situations. In this case, it was placing the titular twin brothers (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) in a hotel where their mother worked as a lounge singer, and they had a lot of room to get themselves into trouble.
Tisdale played the supporting role of the “candy counter girl,” and her role expanded as she and hotel heiress London Tipton (Brenda Song) became friends and classmates. Maddie was hardworking, smart, and from a big family. She was often the straight player in comedic scenes, but she was also able to get more theatrical if the situation called for Maddie’s anger to boil over.
While Maddie is not Tisdale’s most iconic Disney Channel role, it is one that opened the door for her with Disney. She would go on to book High School Musical after appearing in the series and become a producer on other projects under the Disney umbrella. The role allowed her comedic skills to shine as well.
She also appeared as Maddie in a crossover episode with Hannah Montana and in the sequel series Suite Life on Deck.

Young And Hungry was one of the first roles that Emily Osment had after Disney’s Hannah Montana ended. It provided the child actor with a more adult role as an aspiring chef who becomes the personal chef of a man she eventually falls in love with. The series, even with its romantic angle, is a sitcom that places its characters in some ridiculous situations.
Tisdale was not a main cast member, but guest starred on the series as Logan Rawlings. Logan runs a media company and is initially introduced as someone penning a “30 Under 30” list who is attracted to Osment’s Gabi. The role pulled Tisdale a little out of her comfort zone even though she was still getting to play in the comedy world, explaining to After Ellen:
Logan is really awesome, and I was obviously nervous just because I’ve never played this type of character, but I hopefully pulled it off, and I had a lot of fun doing it.
Tisdale only appears in three episodes of Young and Hungry, but her involvement in the series extends far beyond those episodes. She was also an executive producer on the series, with her company Blondie Girl Productions involved in getting the show on the air.
A spinoff for the show was planned with Aimee Carerro’s Sofia working for Tisdale’s Logan, but it never came to fruition.

High School Musical 2 is the only one of the movie trilogy not to be set during the school year. It takes place over the summer as most of the main characters have secured jobs at a local country club. There, Tisdale’s Sharpay and her brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel) are members, not staff, and Sharpay offers to help Troy (Zac Efron) gain connections for his future – whether it’s in basketball or theater. She also plans to perform alongside him in the end-of-summer talent show, of course.
Tisdale’s Sharpay is a scene-stealer in this movie. While this movie is often remembered as the campiest of the trilogy, it’s so clear that the cast was free to really let loose with their ideas about the characters. From Grabeel and Corbin Bleu’s impressive baseball song-and-dance number to Tisdale’s cheeky behavior as a Sharpay free from the rules of drama club, the movie is incredibly fun.
It’s still not Tisdale’s best, but it certainly shows the audience that she is not afraid to go for the cheesiest comedy moments to get a laugh.

Phineas and Ferb is one of the most popular Disney Channel animated series of all time. Not only did it run on the network for several years, but it got several extended specials, movies, and a 2025 revival series. The original series follows the titular brothers as they try to make their summer vacation the best ever, having different adventures everyday without knowing that their pet platypus is actually a secret agent and avoiding their big sister “busting them.”
Tisdale voices that big sister. Candace is played as a typical teenager. She wants more freedom than she has, gossips with her friends, and has a huge crush on one of the boys she knows. Her own storylines often get pushed aside as she focuses the majority of her energy on getting her brothers in trouble for their antics, but she is never able to get them in trouble.
Candace’s addition to the show is primarily for comic relief, and Tisdale does a great job at selling Candace’s frustration and still makes her likable despite her being an antagonist for the main characters.

Here, Candace gets her own story.
Phineas And Ferb: Candace Against The Universe is actually Tisdale’s highest rated project by critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. (To be fair to some of Tisdale’s other work, not all of her projects have had their critical reviews compiled by Rotten Tomatoes.) The movie marks just one of many voice-over projects in Tisdale’s career. She has actually been voicing animated characters since she was a child, but Candace is certainly one of her best-known.
The movie takes place at some point during the events of the Phineas and Ferb television series, and it’s one of the only times in the franchise that Candace is the true main character. While the series follows the adventures of the two brothers, this time, the two brothers are on a mission to save Candace, who is abducted by aliens and taken to a distant planet.
Tisdale gets to actually demonstrate her emotional range as a voice over actor here. Candace is often the kind of character who can be relegated to simply yelling at her brothers and pining for her crush. Here, Candace gets her own story. Tisdale fully embraces that, allowing the audience to see how angry she is that no one ever believes her about her brothers, how left out she feels because she is not a part of their adventures, and how cast aside she feels as a result of both of those things.
It’s a great way to showcase both Tisdale and Candace in the animated franchise.

Tisdale is perfection as a drama club mean girl.
Without this movie, there wouldn’t be the other two High School Musical movies, the Disney+ series that took inspiration from them, or the concert tour that helped launch the cast into the pop culture stratosphere. Though the second and third movies might have had bigger budgets and fewer continuity errors, it’s still really the best of the bunch and the first time Tisdale got to play the iconic Sharpay Evans.
The movie follows Troy and Gabriella (Efron and Hudgens) as they form a connection and decide to audition for the school’s musical together. Tisdale is their chief antagonist as Sharpay. It’s here that Sharpay is at her most malicious. She holds the power in the school’s drama program, however small that power in the grand scheme of the school may be, and she has no intention of relinquishing it to anyone else.
Tisdale is perfection as a drama club mean girl. She schemes, she snarls, and she sings like a pop star. At the time, it was a very different role for her. Sharpay is not an outright villain here, but a kid with a dream who comes across as one. Disney’s audience would have known her as good-girl Maddie on The Suite Life. Most of her other work had been in one-off appearances. Not only did High School Musical become Tisdale’s true break into the industry, but it is also some of her best work.
