Just Jared reports that upcoming hunk Zac Efron is considering “Me and Orson Welles” as one of his next projects.
If agreed, Zac would play 17-year-old Richard Samuels whose theatrical dreams are answered when Orson Welles offers him a small role in his Broadway debut of “Julius Caesar” in the 1930’s.
Earlier this week, the “Hairspray” and “High School Musical” star landed his first leading-man role in fast-tracked love story “Seventeen.”
Meanwhile the premiere of the “High School Musical” sequel on the Disney Channel on Friday night drew a record breaking 17.24 million viewers, making it the most-watched basic cable telecast of all time and the most watched program on television since the season finale of Fox’s “House.”
