Malachi Barton is commonly listed as 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall. That is the best-supported current public figure, but it should not be treated as an officially confirmed measurement: the Disney biographies available for Barton’s recent projects do not state his height, and no primary measurement has been published in the evidence available.
Barton is a 19-year-old American actor best known for a long run of Disney projects, beginning with Stuck in the Middle and continuing through Under Wraps, The Villains of Valley View, ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires and Camp Rock 3. Born on March 10, 2007, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he began acting as a child and has gradually moved from sitcom and family-film roles into musical productions and live touring.
How tall is Malachi Barton?
Barton’s current height is most commonly reported as 5’11”, or about 180 centimeters. An April 2026 profile from Tuko lists that measurement, and IMDb’s search-indexed information has also displayed 5’11” (1.80 m).
There is an important qualification, however. Official Disney biographies prepared for ZOMBIES 4 and Camp Rock 3 provide extensive information about Barton’s acting career but do not give his height. The 5’11” figure is therefore best described as his reported height, rather than a measurement formally confirmed by Barton or Disney.
That distinction also helps explain why readers may encounter much shorter figures elsewhere. Older celebrity-profile pages have listed heights such as 5’8″ and even 4’7″. Barton spent much of his public career growing up on screen, so measurements recorded during his childhood can quickly become obsolete.
There is also a namesake problem. Sports databases contain records for a different Malachi Barton, a basketball player from Raleigh, North Carolina, with height figures including 5’9″ and 6’0″. Those measurements do not belong to the Disney actor.
From child actor to Disney Channel regular
Barton began acting at around five years old, according to a 2025 interview with Parents. His major breakthrough came a few years later when he was cast as *Beast Diaz in Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle.
Disney’s official biography says Barton was eight when he broke onto the scene in the role. He remained with the series for three seasons, giving him an early recurring part within Disney Channel rather than a single guest appearance.
That role became the foundation for a broader child-acting career. Barton later played Marshall in Under Wraps and its sequel, two Disney Channel movies built around the network’s revival of the 1997 Halloween film. He also appeared as Colby, also known as Flashform, in The Villains of Valley View.
His credits were not limited to Disney Channel sitcoms. Barton portrayed Young Diego in the 2019 feature film Dora and the Lost City of Gold and performed voice work as Lionel in Disney Junior’s Fancy Nancy. Together, those roles gave him experience across television comedy, feature films, voice acting and family-oriented movies while he was still a teenager.
ZOMBIES 4 expanded his career into music and live performance
A significant shift came when Barton joined the ZOMBIES franchise as Victor in ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires.
The role moved him into a production built not only around acting but also around singing and choreographed dance. In his 2025 Parents interview, Barton discussed filming the movie in New Zealand and undergoing roughly four weeks of choreography preparation.
That made ZOMBIES 4 different from much of his earlier screen work. Barton was now participating in a Disney musical franchise whose performers were expected to carry songs, large dance sequences and live appearances in addition to conventional acting.
His involvement subsequently extended beyond the film itself. Barton joined the Disney Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide tour, a 43-city concert production featuring performers from the two Disney franchises.
The transition from television actor to musical-film performer and touring cast member is one of the clearest developments in Barton’s recent career. Rather than remaining associated mainly with roles he played as a child, he entered his late teens with a larger performance portfolio spanning screen acting, music, choreography and arena shows.
Camp Rock 3 adds another major Disney musical role
Barton’s Disney career continued with the role of Fletch in Camp Rock 3, the revival of the musical-film franchise originally associated with the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato.
As of August 11, 2026, the movie is scheduled to premiere on Disney Channel on August 13, 2026, followed by its Disney+ release on August 14.
The timing makes Camp Rock 3 Barton’s most immediate current project. It also reinforces the direction his career has taken since ZOMBIES 4: his highest-profile recent work increasingly combines acting with the musical-performance side of Disney’s young-entertainer franchises.
His role in Camp Rock 3 comes after more than a decade of professional acting. That longevity is notable because Barton has had to make the transition from being recognizable primarily as a child performer to taking roles designed for an older teen and young-adult audience.
His Disney slate remains busy in 2026
Camp Rock 3 is not Barton’s only announced work.
Disney has said he will return to the Worlds Collide concert tour in fall 2026. The new run is scheduled to visit 49 arenas across the United States, Canada and Mexico before continuing into the United Kingdom and Europe in 2027.
Disney has also greenlit a fifth ZOMBIES film*, with Barton announced to return as Victor alongside Freya Skye. The company said in March 2026 that production was expected to begin that spring in New Zealand. Because that announcement described an anticipated production timetable rather than providing a later status update, it would be premature to state that filming remains underway as of August.
Another announced project is Coven Academy. In January 2026, the Walt Disney Company discussed Barton as part of a sequence of projects taking him from the Worlds Collide tour to Camp Rock 3 and then into the television series.
Taken together, those projects show that Barton’s current public profile is no longer defined mainly by Stuck in the Middle. That show established him as a Disney child actor, but his more recent work has pushed him toward franchise films, musical performances and large-scale touring.
Final thoughts
Malachi Barton is reported to be 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall, but the figure is not officially confirmed in the Disney biographies available for his recent work. Older height listings are especially unreliable because Barton grew up in public, while some search results also belong to an unrelated basketball player with the same name.
The more firmly documented story is his career development. From playing Beast Diaz in Stuck in the Middle, Barton progressed through Disney movies and television before taking on the more performance-intensive role of Victor in ZOMBIES 4. At 19, with Camp Rock 3, another ZOMBIES installment, Coven Academy and further live touring announced, his professional identity has expanded well beyond the child-actor role that first made him familiar to Disney audiences.
