Zac Efron | PERSON

 

Zachary David Alexander "Zac" Efron (born October 18, 1987) is an American actor and singer. He began acting in the early 2000s, and became known to young audiences after his roles in the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical, the WB series Summerland, and the film version of the Broadway musical Hairspray. Speaking to Newsweek in June 2006, director Adam Shankman described Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now." In 2007, right before the release of High School Musical 2, Rolling Stone declared him the "poster boy for tweenyboppers" and featured him in their late August issue.

"I don't think I'm going to be playing Spider-Man, even though I would quite like to do it."


Robert Pattinson Feb 08 2010 3:02 PM from Digital Spy

"To be honest, it's a role that any young actor is dying to play and I'm just hoping to be considered ... I'm just a huge fan. That's all I can say. Spider-Man is just an awesome comic book series. There's millions of actors out..."
