please hang in there........

After all, this is j and my blog, so we can post whatever we like and You may have noticed that there has been a perhaps, some might think, excess of posts about Zac Efron. It's been an exciting few days for us, as the 'boy' has been in our hometown, and last night we sat less than 3 feet away from him. And he was absolutely delightful and very hot!!!

Now, some may have concerns that he is 21 years of age, and we are a little older than that. At the same time, i would like to remind people that, while this is definitely the case, this is probably not a relationship that will be moving in any direction other than a fantastical one, so folks, no need to be alarmed!

For those who would like to continue reading our blog, but may not be as familiar with the works of our Zac, I am going to take the time in this post to fill you in on some background, so even though it may not be your choice for us to continue with the Zac blogging, whenever one pops up, you can feel as they you know him, as initmately as we do!!!!

Zachary David Alexander "Zac" Efron (born October 18, 1987) is an American actor and singer. Efron was born in San Luis Obispo, California. His father, David Efron, is an engineer at a power plant, and his mother, Starla Baskett, is a former secretary who worked at the same power plant as Efron's father. Efron had a self-described "normal childhood" in a middle class family, and has a younger brother, Dylan. Efron is of Jewish ancestry and is an agnostic, having never been religious. He has said that he would "flip out" if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a "class clown". Efron's father encouraged him to begin acting when Efron was eleven. He subsequently appeared in theater productions at his high school, worked in a theater called The Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville, and began taking singing lessons. Efron performed in plays such as Gypsy, Peter Pan, Or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, and The Music Man. Efron was recommended to an agent in Los Angeles by his drama teacher, Robyn Metchik. He was later signed to the Creative Artist Agency.

Efron graduated from High School in 2006, and was then accepted into the University of Southern California, but he deferred his enrollment while he worked on film projects. He plans to return at some time. Efron also attended Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, a community college.

In 2002, Efron began to appear in guest roles on several television series, including Firefly, ER, and The Guardian. He portrayed Cameron Bale on the now-cancelled WB series Summerland. Originally introduced as a recurring character, Efron became a regular cast member on the show in the second season in 2004, starring opposite the likes of Kay Panabaker, Lori Loughlin and Jesse McCartney. Since appearing in Summerland, he has also had guest roles on the shows CSI: Miami, NCIS (TV series), The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and The Replacements. In 2003, Efron starred in the Lifetime original television movie Miracle Run. He played Steven Morgan, one of two autistic twins. For his performance, he was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Movie, Mini-series or Special — Supporting Young Actor. In 2005, he played a main character in Hope Partlow's music video for her song "Sick Inside." Also in 2005, he played horse-loving Patrick McCardle in The Derby Stallion, where his character wants to beat the town bully at the steeple chase race.

In 2006, Efron starred in the Disney Channel original movie High School Musical as Troy Bolton, the popular student and captain of the basketball team. The film, which he initially made with "low expectations",helped Efron gain recognition among teenage audiences as both an actor and a singer

On April 7, 2007, Efron appeared in an episode of Punk'd. Efron also starred in the music video for Vanessa Hudgens's single "Say OK", where he played her love interest. The video aired on March 16, 2007 on Disney Channel. That year, he was named one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People in 2007. A picture and short profile of him was in the section "Coming of Age". In it, he related how he was always the shortest kid in school (he is now 5'8") and was teased for the "huge gap" in his teeth.

In 2006, Efron was cast as Link Larkin in a film version of Hairspray released on July 20, 2007. Efron performed all of his own vocals in the role.

High School Musical 2 was released in August 2007.

Efron reprised his role as Troy in High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which was theatrically released on October 24, 2008. His next role will be in 17 Again, a high school-set comedy-drama the plot involves an adult (Matthew perry) who is transformed into a 17-year old (to be played by Efron). 17 Again will be released in on April 9, 2009.

In early 2008, Efron was cast as the lead role in the film Me and Orson Welles.

Efron is also scheduled to star in Paramount's musical remake of the film Footloose, and has said that he would like to add his "own little bit of flair" to the role originated by Kevin Bacon.

Efron owns an apartment and has two dogs, Australian shepherds named Dreamer and Puppy. He also has a Siamese cat named Simon.

He dates Vanessa Hudgens, but not for much longer!!!!!!!
