Another reason to love Hairspray!

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

lady_lyca just pointed out something that I hadn't known and I've got to share it! When I was watching Hairspray (the one just released, not the '88 one), I kept looking at the actor playing Link and thinking how familiar he looked. I wondered if he'd been Bobby in the X-men movies, though I didn't think so. I couldn't place him. Well, now I have my answer! The actor, Zac Efron, played young Simon in the Firefly episode "Safe"! Wow - I had no idea! Cool or what?

Here's a picture of him in the FF episode:

Now when I have Zac Efron marathons (because I know I will)...I can include Firefly! I wonder if he watches the show...

Thanks again for letting me know - I wouldn't have ever found that out on my own!

I totally meant to tell you that. After I saw Hairspray I went looking at his profile to see what else he was in and saw that and freaked. lol.

I think it's just so cool. :)

Oh yeah it's cool it's just...unexpected I guess :)

Yes, young Zac is growing into a nice looking young man. *g* You know he's in High School Musical, right? No, I have not watched it. *g*

Speaking of X-men--did you realize that Corny in Hairspray also played Cyclops?

I did actually know about James Marsden playing Corny. I like him (and Cyclops) a lot and I hope he gets more roles.

So Hairspray has a connection to two of my favorite fandoms!
