Zac & Claire Do DC - mediabistro.com: FishbowlDC

Quote:

Actors Zac Efron and Claire Danes were in DC yesterday for a screening of "Me and Orson Welles" at the AMC in Georgetown. Director Richard Linklater joined the stars for press at CBS and WaPo earlier that afternoon, as well as a visit to the White House-- with someone who's no stranger to Hollywood, Kal Penn.

The Georgetown Ritz was the site of the pre-screening red carpet. Washington Life's John Arundel, The Hill's Christina Wilkie and Mix 107.3's Tommy McFly all got a few questions in. But it was "kid correspondent" Jocelyn, Susanna Quinn's daughter, who stole the show!

The first few rows of the theater last night were filled with teeny-bopper girls for the PG-13 screening. WaPo co-sponsored a Q&A after the movie's showing with Efron, Danes and Linklater. "Let's not get hysterical," WaPo educational reporter and moderator warned Efron's adoring fans. Americans for the Arts' Bob Lynch also joined the conversation- this is a cause the actors and director support and discussed with Penn and White House reps yesterday.

This is one of Efron's first films since "High School Musical" fame. While Danes admitted she wasn't familiar with his previous work, Efron said he learned a lot from the more mature actress and that he enjoyed the change of pace.

Another Efron, Danes fan? Or maybe just a supporter of the arts in schools? FBDC also spotted WaPo's Jonathan Capehart in the screening's audience.

Though there were plenty of fans staking them out in the Ritz lobby, Efron, Danes and Linklater had drinks there with just a small group after.

Great reviews of Zac for M&OW...theres so much movie news of this but this review really speaks well of Zac

Zac Efron Shines In Me and Orson Welles Entertainment - Technorati

Quote:

Efron's solid as the center of the film and our way into this story about the fragile magic of theater and some of the realities behind what transpires on stage. He turns in an entirely convincing performance with just the right range, from the kind of bravado that gets him the opportunity - as in this scene in front of the Mercury Theatre - to the naive vulnerability that sees him blindsided by backstage politics and the calculated maneuvering of his colleagues.

Can Zac Efron Actually Act? - E! Online

Quote:

Let me just say off the bat, I have never seen High School Musical 1, 2 or 8. I'm one of those people who will automatically dislike someone or something if it's overexposed (except you R.Pattz...heart ya).

That's how I felt about Zac Efron initially. I just didn't get what the hype was about aside from his too perfectly placed hair.

Then I saw Zac do Saturday Night Live, which he rocked, and also saw his schtick on Entourage. That's what made me start to realize he wasn't another teenybopper douche bag and actually had a sense of humor. Hence, when I shamelessly became a Zefron fan.

So I gladly took the opportunity recently to go screen Z.E.'s new film, Me and Orson Welles, otherwise known as the movie where Zac Efron tries to act.

Here's what you can expect:

Efron's now cemented a great career ahead. I'm not giving anything away about the movie except I was very pleasantly surprised.

For those of you lovingly on Twitter who bet me $10 Zac couldn't pull it off, I'll accept cash, check or credit 'cause I think he totally did.

Whether it was Zac's decision or his team's to have him pass on Footloose, that was a brilliant move. Me and Orson Welles is definitely going to give him a leg up on his teenthrob competition since it showcases Z's bit of diversity.

Will Zac win an Oscar for this performance? No, but that's not the point. I think he totally proved himself worthy of being able to step outside the typecast of only being able to dance, sing and look pretty (although he does serenade us a bit in this flick).

Bottom line is for those of you expecting High School Musical: The College Years, this isn't it. But any of you who are mature Zac fans or who just want to check out a movie with great acting (Christian McKay was amazing) and directing, go for it on Nov. 25.

And yes, Zac's still looked very sexy, even in his period-piece ensemble, as he spat a few sexual one-liners. He's of age, so I'm allowed to say that.

Movie Reviews by FAQs: Me and Orson Welles

Quote:

Zac Efron might not blow you away, but there’s no denying his youthful charisma, perfect eyebrows and freakishly long eyelashes. He both naturally seduces and is seduced in a role that doesn’t call for much more than that.

I love his eye lashes
