do you?
really an efron page? you must be running out of subjects
Hey SteinHOF….it seemed like a good idea at that time…lol.
He is good looking for sure; but the man does have some acting skills. No way his career would have lasted this long if he did not. Maybe his acting will get more respect after he plays Ted Bundy.
Thanks for stopping by Parrish. I agree good looks only got him so far. His movie career is already 15 years old. I read he was going to play a serial killer, did not realize it was going to be Ted Bundy. That is a huge difference than the comedies he has been playing recently.
I wasn’t sure if this was new or just an update, it wasn’t listed at the top of the page.
I don’t think I’ll be seeing Baywatch at the cinema but I’m sure I’ll catch it later in the year on disc. Helakoski wants to look at Zac and I want to ogle those Baywatch babes, I mean who wouldn’t? 😉
I’ve seen just 7 of Zacs films so far, the only one I’ve bought on blu-ray is The Lorax which wasn’t great but I have a soft spot for animation.
I’m sure he was actually in Hairspray and not just a voice role, Bruce?
The Paperboy is one weird movie and worth a look. It includes a scene where Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman pees on Zac Efron. Oh how the mighty have fallen! 🙂
I suppose it’s good to have some fresh young blood on your pages occasionally Bruce (ooh I sound like a vampire). Vote Up!
Hey Steve.
1. Yes this is our latest page….I forgot to put it in the menu bar at the top.
2. Another screw-up I meant to put “voice role” on the Lorax….will have to fix that when I get home.
3. Somehow I have managed to see 17 of this movies…how did that happen?
4. I agree The Paperboy is one weird movie…..but the cast goes all out.
5. New blood is good.
Thanks for the visit and comment.
Thank you for this page. Zac might not be Daniel Day Lewis of actors but he sure entertains me. I will be at Baywatch this weekend.
P.S. Hopefully you were not too offended by saying you needed more current stars. I love your website.
You are welcome Helakoski. So far Zac is getting some good traffic but little feedback. Baywatch is getting some pretty bad reviews…but I bet it still makes a good amount of money.
No offense taken. I imagine this page will make a few of our readers happy. Thanks for the visit.
