Malachi Barton, who first became known as Beast Diaz on the Disney Channel show ‘Stuck in the Middle,’ has grown into one of Disney’s biggest rising stars. Born in Virginia Beach, he moved with his family to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. At 19, he continues to balance schoolwork with filming new projects like ‘Camp Rock 3’ and ‘Zombies 5.’ Malachi has built his reputation through roles in both live-action and voice acting, including ‘Dora and the Lost City of Gold,’ ‘Under Wraps,’ and ‘Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires,’ which significantly increased his popularity. With over three million Instagram followers, he maintains a strong connection with his fans.

As an only child, he focused fully on acting and has steadily earned recognition within Disney’s network. His net worth is estimated at $2 million, and he lives a fairly quiet life in Los Angeles while remaining active in the Disney universe and teen entertainment.
