BIOGRAPHY
Zachary David Alexander Efron was born in San Luis Obispo, California on October 18th, 1987, and later moved to
Arroyo Grande. His father, David Efron, is an engineer at a power plant, and his mother, Starla Baskett, is a former
secretary who worked at the same power plant as Efron's father. Although of Jewish ancestry, Efron was raised in
an agnostic household. Efron had a self-described "normal childhood" in a middle class family, and has a younger
brother, Dylan. He has said that he would "flip out" if he got a 'B' and not an 'A' in school, and that he was a "class clown."
Efron's father encouraged him to begin acting when Efron was eleven. He subsequently appeared in theater
productions at his high school, worked in a theater called the Melodrama, and began taking singing lessons. Efron
performed in plays such as Gypsy, Peter Pan, Little Shop of Horrors, The Music Man and Mame, appearing at the Pacific
Conservatory of the Performing Arts. Efron was recommended to an agent in Los Angeles by his drama teacher,
Robyn Metchik.
In 2002, Efron began to appear in guest roles on several television series, including "Firefly", "ER", and "The Guardian". He
portrayed Cameron Bale on the two-season WB series Summerland. Originally introduced as a recurring character,
Efron became a regular cast member on the show in the second season in 2004, starring opposite Kay
Panabaker and Lori Loughlin. Since appearing in Summerland, he has also had guest roles on the shows "CSI: Miami",
"NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service", "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" and "The Replacements". In 2003, Efron
starred in the Lifetime original television movie "Miracle Run". He played Steven Morgan, one of two autistic twins. For his
performance, he was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Movie, Mini-series or Special -
Supporting Young Actor. In 2005, he played a main character in Hope Partlow's music video for her song
"Sick Inside." Also in 2005, he played horse-loving Patrick McCardle in "The Derby Stallion", where his character wants
to beat the town bully at the steeple chase race
In 2006, Efron starred in the Disney Channel original movie High School Musical as Troy Bolton, alongside actresses
Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Monique Coleman (who, like Efron, have all appeared on the series "The
Suite Life of Zack and Cody"), as well as actors Lucas Grabeel and Corbin Bleu. The film, which he initially made with
"low expectations", helped Efron gain recognition among teenage audiences as both an actor and a singer.
The film's cast, along with Efron, toured Sydney, Australia; London, England; and other locations to promote the film,
although Efron did not participate in the High School Musical Concert that toured the U.S. and Canada throughout the
fall and winter 2006.
Efron's singing talents were disputed when it was revealed that Andrew Seeley's voice was blended with his on the
soundtrack of High School Musical. An August 23, 2007 interview in Rolling Stone magazine revealed that he had
been cast in High School Musical after the songs were written, and the songs (written for a tenor) were somewhat out of
his baritone vocal range. Efron's subsequent singing performances in Hairspray and High School Musical 2 were
genuine, though arguably not as polished as those of Seeley's. Efron stated in interviews that he feels his future is that
of a serious dramatic actor, not necessarily a singer. He declined to participate in the national touring company of High
School Musical, despite appearances by several of the movie cast members.
On April 7, 2007, Efron appeared in an episode of "Punk'd" with "High School Musical" co-star Ashley Tisdale. Efron also
starred in the music video for Vanessa Hudgens's single "Say OK", where he played her love interest. The video aired
on March 16, 2007 on Disney Channel. That year, he was named one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People in
2007. A In it, he related how he was always the shortest kid in school (he is now 5'8") and was teased for the "huge
gap" in his teeth.
Efron's upcoming roles include "Seventeen", a high school-set drama/comedy produced by Adam Shankman and based
on a pitch by Jason Filardi; the plot involves an adult who is transformed into a 17-year old (to be played by Efron).
Efron is also scheduled to star in Paramount's musical remake of the film "Footloose"; he has said that he would
like to add his "own little bit of flair" to the role originated by Kevin Bacon.
