Cody Martin Linley (born November 20, 1989) is an American actor and singer.He played a recurring role as Jake Ryan in the television series Hannah Montana, and was a contestant on the seventh season of Dancing With The Stars, in which he was partnered with Julianne Hough and finished fourth.“I’ve been my heaviest in my relationship with Wilmer and also been my thinnest,” she says.Demi Lovato may sing about giving her heart a break, but she definitely doesn’t take too much time off when it comes to her relationships IRL.And while he doesn't get the chance to see his TV girlfriend very often anymore, he still follows her achievements and is delighted at everything she's accomplished."Miley's success has continued to grow, so I’m proud of her and her work ethic and to have been a part of something that made an impact." Traveling down memory lane, Linley revealed some interesting facts about Jake and Miley's first big kiss on the show — arguably one of the most iconic moments in the entire series.Linley's character led an emotional rollercoaster, from his arrogant personality, to romantic moments like his first kiss with Miley, to that dreaded cheating scandal — not to mention the love triangle that inadvertently developed between Jake, Miley, and Jesse (Drew Roy).
After the much publicized falling-out with Nick Jonas, Miley may be moving on!“When I dated white guys, it wasn’t as passionate as my relationship with Wilmer,” Lovato, who’s been previously linked to singers like Joe Jonas and The Cab’s Alex De Leon, tells the publication. But I do believe that Latin people are just more expressive, more passionate with their emotions.He’s very manly, and he can be stubborn like Latino men can, but he’s protective and he cares so much and loves so hard.Linley made his acting debut in the 1998 made-for-television film Still Holding On: The Legend of Cadillac Jack.Subsequently, he had supporting roles in four films released in 2000: My Dog Skip, Where the Heart Is, Walker, Texas Ranger, and Miss Congeniality.In 2003, Linley was in the independent film When Zachary Beaver Came to Town and appeared in the movie Cheaper by the Dozen.He also played a live-action version of Arnold for a commercial for Hey Arnold!
