Zac Efron was born on October 18, 1987 in San Luis Obispo, California to David and Starla (Baskett) Efron. They later moved to Arroyo Grande, California. He has a younger brother named Dylan, and their childhood was happy as typical middle class Americans. Although "Efron" is Jewish, he is Agnostic. Zac is now 25 years old, 5'10", and has an approximated net worth of $18 million. His acting career began when his parents noticed his singing ability at age 11 and brought him to singing lessons. From there, his acting career began, landing small roles here and there.
In 2006, Zac starred in Disney's High School Musical, which turned out to be a smash hit. High School Musical 2 was filmed in 2007 and High School Musical: Senior Year in 2008.
