His Current Gig: Jimmie ‘The Rocket’ Zara in High School Musical 3. He’s a Troy (Zac Efron) wannabe who loves basketball more than life itself.
You Know This Face Because … of his guest spots on Hannah Montana (he had Miley Cyrus swooning) and The Office.
Why So Fresh? As part of the new class, Prokop stands to inherit the success of his High School Musical predecessor Efron. The Texan’s character Jimmie is already being touted the new lead if the Disney franchise goes on.
In His Own Words … “It’s pretty crazy,” he tells CosmoGirl of being called the next Efron. “I’m going to take it how it goes and if that’s the way that it goes, then hey, why not! He’s had an awesome career. I actually met Zac because he did a movie with my roommate, who played his son in 17 Again. We’ve been hanging out with him for the past four or five months. The whole time that I was doing the audition process, I was trying to call him, but he was in London and couldn’t talk on his cell phone. Everyone kept asking if he was the one who got me the role and I was like, ‘No, I didn’t even talk to him throughout the auditions.'”
LAST WEEK’S FRESH FACE: Sally Hawkins
