A few dozen patient people had waited more than two hours in line just to catch a glimpse of Mitchel Musso, who plays Oliver Oken on the Disney Channel sensation, "Hannah Montana."
Musso, 16, stopped by the Verizon Wireless store in Alpharetta Nov. 27 in an effort to promote the Hannah Montana concert at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth.
The line of fans holding photos, posters and other Hannah Montana memorabilia nearly wrapped around the Verizon store – all to have their photo snapped with Musso and receive his autograph.
Disney Radio kept children busy with hula hoop contests and other activities while they waited for their chance to see Musso.
Once inside, fans got the chance to ask him questions and tell him about their favorite Hannah Montana episode.
Musso said he loves his job, especially since he's able to be with his best friends on set of the show. But sometimes it's hard to juggle work and school.
"When you do something you love, it's worth it," said Musso. "I love it."
Musso said he is a little like his character on the show, Oliver Oken, but unlike his character, he doesn't mind getting a little dirty or sweaty at times.
Musso, who co-resides in Texas and Los Angeles, has been acting since he was around 10 years-old. He has appeared on "King of the Hill," "Oliver Beene," and Disney's "Phineas and Ferb."
Currently, Musso is keeping busy promoting the Hannah Montana concert, but has learned that he loves writing songs and would like to dive deeper into music.
