Zac Efron Recalls Tearful First Audition
Not all stars start off strong. As reported by WENN news, Zac Efron's first audition was not a stoic affair. The High School Musical star recalls his audition for a Peter Pan live action show when he was 15.
Says Efron: "I showed up and it was on tape in this tiny room. On stage you speak to the back of the room and you project and Peter Pan is very animated and jumping off things and going crazy so that's what I did in the audition, running around and jumping off my chair, singing the lines.
"This woman interrupted me and goes 'you've never done this before have you?' and I went 'no' and she went 'okay, you can go' and that was the worst audition ever, ever in my life. I kind of wept about that one."

This rejection seemed to turn out for the best, as Efron's recent successes as Troy Bolton in the mega sucessful High School Musical trilogy has led to roles in high profile films including 2007's musical movie Hairspray.
