You all surprise me.
Yea, he's in High School Musical, but what's to say he's not perfect for the role? I believe the kid can actually act. There have been worse choices for actors for roles (Toby McGuire is a SHITTY Peter Parker. I'm glad they're changing it up. And complaining about changing out Kirsten Dunst? PLEASE DO IT. *SHE* can't act her way out of a paper bag. Not to mention the mousy squished face. Her only redeeming qualities were shown in the well done rain kiss in the first movie... and it had nothing to do with her acting.
Please, tell me a good role she's done. ...anyone?)
Side note, it's not publicized info, but Wife® was introduced to Toby McGuire in NYC at some awards thing (she went to an acting conservatory, met people, went to a couple of awards shows), and was also introduced to his boyfriend of the time. I don't know if he's gay, was once gay, or is just plain bi, whatever,
but saying "replacing Toby McGuire with this fag?" is fucking hilarious.
