Birthday: Oct 18, 1987

Birthplace: San Luis Obispo, California

Actor Zac Efron's career began when he was just 11 years old, when his parents took note of his tremendous singing talent. They let him audition for a production of Gypsy, and he won a small role in a production that would run for 90 performances. He would eventually graduate to on-screen acting, scoring a recurring role on the hit series Summerland in 2004. This would seem like his big break, but an even bigger role would come the next year, in the hugely popular Disney feature High School Musical. Efron immediately earned a strong, loyal fan base, going on to star in big screen projects like Hairspray, 17 Again, Charlie St. Cloud, and The Lucky One.

Mike O'Donnell (17 years):

...I want to remind you of September 7th, 1988. It was the first time that I saw you. You were reading Less Than Zero. You were wearing a Guns N' Roses T-shirt I'd never seen anything so perfect. I remember thinking that I had to have you, or I'd die. Then you whispered that you loved me.....at the homecoming dance. And I felt.....so peaceful.....and safe. Because I knew that no matter what happened from that day on.....nothing could ever be that bad. Because I had you.
