Casting directors serve a vital role in the success of TV shows. Casting directors are tasked with sifting through thousands of actors in an attempt to cast the perfect person for each role, large or small. I can't think of many shows where the casting directors did a better job than Drake & Josh. Every leading and supporting actor fits their role perfectly. Drake Bell and Josh Peck's chemistry is undeniable. Jon Goldstein and Nancy Sullivan seem like a real married couple. Miranda Cosgrove perfectly portrays a sadistic little sister. There isn't a single miscast.
Even all of the reoccurring characters are cast perfectly. Allison Scagliotti was the perfect choice for Mindy Crenshaw; she expertly portrays a teenage brainiac with a hard shell and a warm heart. Yvette Nicole Brown is hilarious as Helen Dubois and who could forget Jerry Trainor as Crazy Steve? I couldn't imagine another actor as Crazy Steve.

Yvette especially stands out because of how much better she is in the role than the actress who had to fill in for the episode with the bratty teenage actress. Now that's not really that other actress' fault, since Yvette does all the other episodes we're obviously all more used to her which gives her an advantage, but she just simply kills the role of Helen.
I can't imagine the other actress having great delivery of a line like, "Duff can't take a punch!!". So whoever cast Yvette and made sure to bring her back after the one episode without her absolutely deserves a ton of credit.
Bro why was Helen casted as her in little diva. I mean, she wasn’t awful but she’s just not Helen, you know what I mean?
I think Yvette had a scheduling conflict so they just replaced the actress for an episode
Every time I watch that episode I’m like, “What is Roxy doing here?!” 😂
I would argue that Kimmy Robertson was a miscast. Just out of interest did the casting directors change after the first and second season? Because it seemed to get a lot tighter in seasons 3/4
