Ashley and Vanessa sit down with Jamaal Finkley to discuss "Senior Year" and what it took to make High School Musical a memorable event...
VANESSA HUDGENS (Gabriella Montez) is a promising
young actress and recording artist.
She appears in the music-driven, inspirational fish-out-of-water
story Bandslam to be released in early 2009. Starring alongside
Gaelan Connell, Aly Michalka and Lisa Kudrow, Hudgens plays a
misfit who finds her voice in a coming-of-age story about a high
school battle-of-the-bands competition.
Hudgens began her career at age 8 in the world of musical
theatre. Early roles in such productions as Evita, Carousel, The
Wizard of Oz, The King & I, The Music Man, Cinderella and
Damn Yankees gave the actress the opportunity to showcase her impressive singing and
acting skills.
She made her feature film debut in Catherine Hardwickes Thirteen, starring Holly
Hunter and Evan Rachel Wood. Soon thereafter, she co-starred in the action-adventure film
Thunderbirds, and was a recurring guest star on Disney Channels The Suite Life of Zach
& Cody. Her television credits include Quintuplets, Brothers Garcia, Still Standing and
Robbery Homicide Division.
But it was Hudgenss role in Disney Channels breakaway sensation High School Musical
and its follow-up High School Musical 2 that has garnered her much praise and attention.
In 2006, Hudgens released her debut solo album V-a captivating variety of rock, electronic
and R&B styles-and toured with the Cheetah Girls, followed by a sold-out 42-date arena
concert tour of High School Musical: The Concert. In July 2008, Hudgens released her
second album IDENTIFY for Hollywood Records, followed by a two-month concert tour in
the Unites States.
Actress and recording artist ASHLEY TISDALE (Sharpay
Evans) is best known for her starring role as Sharpay Evans in the
record-breaking and award-winning Disney Channel Original
Movies High School Musical and High School Musical 2.
The 23-year-old actress starred in and executive produced the
recent ABC Family movie Picture This, which was a joint project
by MGM and Tisdales production company Blondie Girl
Productions.
She appears in the Twentieth Century Fox feature film comedy
They Came From Upstairs, set to be released in early 2009. She is
also slated to star in United Artists upcoming feature film remake of Teen Witch, and has
signed an agreement with Freemantle Media (American Idol) to executive produce a new television series.
Tisdale first gained a following with her role as the sweet candy-counter clerk at The Tipton
hotel on Disney Channels hit series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Next, she lent her voice
as one of the lead characters (Candace) in the Disney Channel number-one rated animated
series Phineas and Ferb. She was a series regular on Nathans Choice and The Howie
Mandel Pilot. Her television credits include recurring roles on George Lopez, Still
Standing and The Hughleys, as well as guest-starring roles on Grounded for Life,
Strong Medicine, Boston Public and 7th Heaven.
Tisdales first solo CD Headstrong debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and was
certified Gold. She recently toured the country in the sold-out 42-city concert tour of High
School Musical: The Concert.
Tisdale was selected as one of US Magazines 10 Most Powerful Girls In Hollywood, Teen
Peoples 25 Under 25, Teen Vogues Young Hollywood stars, and as part of Entertainment
Weeklys annual Must List as Must Musical Prodigies.
She was discovered at age 3 in her hometown mall by Bill Perlman, a talent manager who
continues to represent her. After landing a job at her very first audition, Tisdale went on to star
in more than 100 national network commercials. At age 8, she booked the leading role in the
national tour of the musical Les Miserables, and then toured internationally with the
Broadway musical Annie. She also had the honor of singing at the White House at age 12.
