I was an extra in the movie High School Musical 3. It was so fun seeing the main cast act and hang out. One night around 11pm, we were filming a scene in the theater, it is towards the end of the movie when Troy shows up at the musical and is singing down the aisle of the theater. I was sitting at the edge of the row closest to Zac Efron and it was so cool. The director, Kenny Ortega, made Zac actually sing even though they used a recording for the movie. He has a really good voice! He was singing his heart out. The theater was getting really hot so Kenny Ortega asked the crew to turn on the air and even Zac was getting hot. While we were waiting for the air, Zac would just hang out, he didn't really talk much to the extras but he did say Hi to a couple of us. One part that I thought was funny is there was a break around 1:30am to change the set and the crew went and got everyone Value meal chicken sandwiches and fries from Wendys, I thought it was so funny to see Zac Efron chowing down on a chicken sandwich before he started filming again, just shows you that he is a normal guy. Also, I have to say that he is even better looking in person. I also was on set when we filmed the basketball game and graduation.  Zac Efron is really not that great at basketball too which is funny.
