Zac Efron is a famous American actor who started his acting career in theater and became a heartthrob of the nation in the late 2000s. He is admired and loved by all because of his attractive looks and excellent acting skills. He acted professionally for the first time by appearing as a guest on Television shows like ‘Firefly’, ‘ER’, and ‘The Guardian’.

His career boomed when he played the role of an autistic boy in the movie ‘Miracle run’ for which he even got nominated for a ‘Young Artist Award’. The exceptional work that brought him into the limelight was ‘High School Musical’ which became a blockbuster and later he reprised his role as ‘Troy Bolten’ in ‘High School Musical 2’ and ‘High School Musical 3’. These hit releases turned out to be his best work and it was for the first time that a High School Movie was released in theaters.

Efron has received a total of 30 awards for different categories to date, among which his first one was in 2008 for the musical film ‘Hairspray’. After one year he received ‘The Best Male Performance Award’ for the movie ‘High School Musical 3’. He played lead roles in many hit movies like ‘Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates’, ‘Neighbors’ and ‘The Disaster Artist’.

Although Zac Efron’s movies receive immense love from the public, he failed to impress the critics with his performance in some movies like ‘That Awkward Moment’, ‘The Lucky One’ and ‘Dirty Grandpa’.
