How cool would it be to see Huntsville celebrities on the show? Maybe they can get some training at Fred Astaire Dance Studio 😉( Ben Johnson / Hville Blast)

Dancing with the Stars just revealed their celebrity cast list for season 34, and their list of stars has us thinking about Huntsville’s own famous names. 💭

Keep reading to see which celebrities we hope to someday see on DWTS, plus a few celebrities from Alabama who have already competed for (and won) the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy.

Kim Dickens

Kim Dickens was born in Huntsville and went on to become a well-loved actress in Hollywood. She is known for several roles in movies and TV, but many viewers were first introduced to her by her role in “The Walking Dead.”

She would make for “deadly” competition on DWTS.

Olandria Carthen, a Decatur native, was launched into stardom after finishing second place in the “Love Island USA” season 7 finale this summer. It would be hard not to root for her if she went on DWTS. After all, she is a reality TV icon. 😉

This MLB star is a Huntsville native. Craig Kimbrel is famous for his incredibly high strikeout rate, impressive fastball and cutthroat curveball. This famous athlete is a star on the baseball field, and we think he’d shine even brighter on the dance floor.

Debby Ryan

Debby Ryan is a Huntsville native known for her many roles in popular Disney Channel TV shows and movies. In an interview, Debby shared a story about a meeting with the President of Disney Channel where she stated her ambition to “make history.”

We think she would absolutely make history on DWTS, as well.
