Hale was one of the original members of “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” when it debuted in 1989 on the Disney Channel and appeared on the series until 1991.

Hale returned to “Mickey Mouse Club” in 1994, at which point the show added Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, and Christina Aguilera as its cast.

“She’s humble, she’s caring and kind. She’s playful and very funny. An incredible singer, character, and theater actress, and when the music hits her dance skills, she’s a great dancer. For me, we’ve never had a female pop star that compares!” he wrote. “She’s an amazing performer and I’m honored to have her in my life.”
