Season 2 of the Disney+ original series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers is getting closer to completion, and, as time goes by, we are able to learn a little bit more about what to expect–including the cast.
Recently, we at Disney Fanatic have learned that Disney has added TikToker Connor DeWolfe to the cast. Over the past few years, DeWolfe has gained a massive following on both TikTok and Instagram by creating funny and relatable videos about being neurodivergent–particularly those battling Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on a daily basis.
Managing ADHD himself, DeWolfe provides empathy and focuses on the lovable positives that come with being a given a brain that is wired differently than other people. His videos also offer ways to help people and their friends cope with the condition, like his slogan, “follow the dopamine.”

“I can’t believe I can finally tell you all,” he exclaimed. “I’m filming a TV show, and I’m playing a character named AJ.”

“My imposter syndrome will never let me have this,” DeWolfe half-joked. He ended the video thanking his fans, admitting that if it were not for them, nothing he was doing now would be possible.

According to Deadline,
DeWolfe plays A.J. Lawrence. Goes by “Lawrence.” A god-like teen athlete whose main interest is himself. He intimidates the heck out of his socially awkward goalie roommate. Lawrence becomes a superstar player on one of the teams. Great smile, great hair, he’s never suffered any adversity in his life and has the ego to prove it.
