Justin Martin Joins High School Musical 3: Senior Year
Justin Martin was one of three new actors cast in "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" following an international search for new Wildcats. He joins Matt Prokop and Jemma McKenzie-Brown as sophomores taking the musical baton from seniors Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman, in the latest installment of the hit Disney franchise. Kenny Ortega, who helmed the first two "High School Musical" films for the Disney Channel, will once again direct, in addition to adding new duties as executive producer.
"Peter Barsocchini's exciting script for 'High School Musical 3' called for the addition of three sophomore characters," Ortega commented in a press release. "So we set out on a massive casting search to find just the right young actors to play the parts. We think these talented performers will bring lots of humor, new twists, and musical fun to the film...Justin had a great presence and charisma, besides being a wonderful comedic actor who could really dance. I am confident that the three new actors joining our original cast will help to bring great musical thrills, surprises and a lot of fun to Senior Year and the halls of East High."
