Biografie
Nurturing an impressive body of work that encompasses both film and television, Zac Efron has proven to be one of Hollywood's most promising talents. Efron has received a wide array of accolades throughout his career, including ShoWest's Breakthrough Performer of the Year Award (2009) and MTV Movie Awards for Breakthrough Performance (2008) and Best Male Performance (2009), in addition to multiple Teen Choice and Kids' Choice awards.
Efron can be seen in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, a comedy which also stars Adam DeVine, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza and follows two brothers who place an ad on Craigslist to find dates for a wedding. He appeared in Baywatch, a comedy based off the popular television show alongside Dwayne Johnson and Alexandra Daddario, and The Disaster Artist, a dramedy directed by and starring James Franco along with Seth Rogen and Dave Franco about the making of Tommy Wiseau's The Room.
Efron also starred opposite Robert De Niro in Dirty Grandpa, in which he portrayed an uptight groom who, just before his wedding, is tricked into driving his vulgar grandfather to Florida for spring break. Prior to that, he starred in Max Joseph's We Are Your Friends, which follows a young DJ as he works on what he hopes will be his first hit track but ultimately discovers that success may come at a price. He was also seen in the romantic comedy That Awkward Moment alongside Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan and Imogen Poots. Efron also served as an executive producer on the film under his Ninjas Runnin' Wild banner.
Additional film credits include the historical drama Parkland; Ramin Bahrani's independent drama At Any Price; Lee Daniels' The Paperboy alongside Nicole Kidman, John Cusack and Matthew McConaughey; Liberal Arts, an independent film written and directed by Josh Radnor; The Lucky One, a film adaption of the Nicholas Sparks novel; Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's animated film Dr. Seuss' The Lorax; Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel and Hilary Swank; Charlie St. Cloud; 17 Again, opposite Matthew Perry and Leslie Mann; Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles; and the summer box-office smash Hairspray, which won the 2008 Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Acting Ensemble. Efron's television credits include a recurring role on The WB series Summerland, and guest-starring roles on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, ER, The Guardian and CSI: Miami.
Efron became a household name with the launch of the 2006 Primetime Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel phenomenon High School Musical. He reprised his role as Troy Bolton, head of the basketball team, in High School Musical 2, which broke cable television records with 17.2 million viewers. Efron also starred in the feature film High School Musical 3: Senior Year, the third installment of the extremely successful High School Musical franchise, which set a box-office record for the highest-grossing opening-weekend total for a musical.
On stage, Efron starred in the musical Gypsy and has appeared in productions of Peter Pan, Auntie Mame, Little Shop of Horrors and The Music Man.
In addition to acting, Efron established his own production company, Ninjas Runnin' Wild, with partner Jason Barrett in 2010. Ninjas Runnin' Wild has a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Pictures with several projects in development.
