Zac Efron

Zac Efron (or Zefron) is an American Actor whose first (and most famous) major role was as Troy in High School Musical. Since then, some think that he has branched into a more "serious" actor with better performances. He generally plays the Big Man on Campus.

He dated HSM co-star Vanessa Hudgens for three years. They split in late 2010; both attribute the breakup to simply growing up.

He may also be Kira.

• He played Young Simon in Firefly, before he got famous.
• The High School Musical series. (Troy Bolton (2005-2009)

Zac Efron provides examples of the following tropes:

• Ascended Meme: Possibly. Apparently he's in talks to be in the American adaptation of Death Note.
  • Now rumor has it that he turned down the part citing the need to cast Asian actors for the Asian characters, avoiding a Race Lift. Which is surprisingly noble for someone whose public image was once that of a vapid pretty boy.
• Blue Eyes: Just look at them!
• Closet Geek: See One of Us. He's had to play down some of his nerdish tendencies since the success of High School Musical.
  • He's gone on record stating that he's happy now that he's done with his Disney phase and can drop all pretense and be a nerd publicly.
• Cool Car: Averted for a long time, it wasn't until after HSM 3 that he replaced the Oldsmobile Alero he had gotten from his grandfather with a typically-Hollywood Cool Car.
• One of Us: He's confessed to being hopelessly addicted to World of Warcraft and lobbied for the role of Link in Hairspray because he was such a fan of the musical despite it being almost as far from High School Musical as you can get. He also reads several manga, including Death Note. Hmm...
• Pretty Boy
