Zac Efron Recalls When He Knew 'High School Musical' Would Be a Big Deal

Zac Efron, who played Troy Bolton in 'High School Musical' and its two sequels, says he knew the movie would be big.

Despite having to move fast, the Family Affair star says that the cast and crew -- including director Kenny Ortega and choreographer Chucky Klapow -- were "incredibly motivated" to make it perfect. The scene features Efron’s character, Troy Bolton, busting out a move on the basketball court as he contemplates sticking with his sport or taking part in the school musical. While the original 2006 film and its 2007 follow-up both premiered on Disney Channel to mass audiences, High School Musical 3: Senior Year debuted in theaters to $252.9 million at the worldwide box office.
