Biography:
After guest starring in several episodes
of "Summerland," 17-year-old Zac Efron joins the cast this season as girl-crazy Cameron Bale. Born in San Luis Obispo, California,
and raised close by in Arroyo Grande, Efron took his first step toward acting at the age of 11 when his parents took note
of his singing ability. Singing lessons soon led to an appearance in the production of "Gypsy" which ran 90 performances,
and he was hooked. After appearing on stage in "Peter Pan," "Mame," "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Music Man," guest parts
quickly followed on television series, including "Firefly," "ER" and "The Guardian." Efron also starred in several pilots
such as "The Big, Wide World of Carl Laemke" and "Triple Play." He also recently starred as an autistic child in the television
movie "Miracle Run," alongside Mary-Louise Parker and Aidan Quinn. A junior in high school, Efron's favorite sports include
golf, skiing, rock climbing and snowboarding. He recently added surfing after spending days on the beach for "Summerland."
He plays the piano at home, and is currently teaching himself to play the guitar. He's also currently fixing up two cars in
his spare time, a Delorean and '65 Mustang convertible, both treasured hand-me-downs from his even-more-treasured grandfather.
Efron lives at home with his parents and his younger brother Dylan. They have two highly affectionate Australian Shepherds,
Dreamer and Puppy, and a very independent Siamese cat named Simon.
