The New Chad!

No, seriously, you’re reading right. Not only will you be getting a mini-Troy, and a mini-Sharpay, but seriously, what could be better than a mini-Chad? As previously stated, we let you in on the confirmation of the mini-Troy and mini-Sharpay, but left this one out. Why? We have no clue. Maybe our source wanted to surprise us too, the world may never know.

So, who exactly is Justin Martin? Well…the most anyone may remember from him is…nothing, even though his filmography does include, “A Raisin in the Sun, The Vineyard, and the upcoming The Soloist. He has also appeared in the television shows Cold Case, Judging Amy, Malcolm in the Middle, & The Bernie Mac Show”, but even more impressive was that he was Young Simba on Broadway. :D

Kenny Ortega had this to say about the casting:

Commenting on the announcement, Ortega said, Peter Barsocchinis exciting script for High School Musical 3 called for the addition of three sophomore characters, so we set out on a massive casting search across North America and England 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. Jemma was one of the many young actresses that we met in London, and she impressed us with her singing and dancing, in addition to being very exciting and effervescent. Matt has a terrific personality, and a great sense of comedy and fun. And 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.

And Dear New-Chad, please don’t take after the originals and interrupt our lovebirds during their moments, k? Thanks

    aww i wish there was a mini gabriella. lmao
    but i wish our three new comers good luck.
    lmfao
    :D

  3. RK says:

    I’m sort of glad there is no mini-Gabriella. That’s probably a bad thing for any of the main characters to have a miniature duplicate. The whole thing sounds kind of silly. But, the more I hear about HSM3, the weaker it seems to be. I’m looking more foward to seeing Will.

  4. Malia says:

    RK, I tend to agree with you. The more I hear about HSM3, the less I’m looking forward to it. Leave it to Disney to ruin a good thing.

    However, I am eagerly awaiting 17 Again, Will and MAOW. They all sound SO incredible.

  5. andre says:

    seriously guys.. i don’t like the ‘mini-character’ idea.. it seems so ‘Hello!? For what?’.. i just wanna see the original cast: Zac, Vanessa, Ashley etc.. i gues i’ll hate those new comers, but i wish them good luck anyway.

  6. Jill-Renay says:

    And now this is bugging me. Okay, so you’re going to hate them? I’m sorry, but you haven’t even met them yet or know their purpose. What’s there to hate?

    We have to go back to basics again and figure out that this is Troy’s story. it’s always going to be about Troy…who in reality is Peter. Peter based this epic phenomenon on his life story. So these new characters have a purpose and if they didn’t, Peter wouldn’t bring them in at all.

  7. Jessie says:

    Jemma is stunning!Wow

  8. Coryy says:

    I don’t hate them, I just can’t wait for what the new characters are for!
    I hope they focus lots more on the main cast though and that’s all. And your rihgt Jessie, Jemma is really pretty in that picture!

  9. RK says:

    Yep. Some of us are just worried that all the new characters are going to spread HSM3 too thin.

    I don’t think adding new characters is really a bad thing, as long as the main characters are still there and hopefully the main focus, I still think that HSM 2 was over the top to much about Troy and Sharpay, yeah I can understand some of it but I’m hoping that the rest of the cast gets some more screen time, I didn’t like how little Gabriella was actually in it, and it could be fun as well. Sure it will be a little strange but we can only wait and see how things will go. And the mini-Chad, yeah, I hope that he won’t pick up Chad’s bad timing.
    I wish these new young stars good luck.

  11. RK says:

    Yeah..Gabriella was in HSM2 alot and had some great moments. But, some of her screen time was pure fluff and I think her character was sacraficed to some degree in order to prop up Troy/Sharpay. Not good if they pull the same thing in HSM3. Afterall, Vanessa gets second billing in these movies next to Zac.

  12. Becky says:

    I don’t understand why they are even bothering with the “minis” anyways. I mean, are they getting ready for possible future High School Musicals minus the original cast?

    If so, in my opinion, that would be a BAD move. Disney just never knows when to quit while they are ahead. They are really over doing it with their sequels and such.

  13. Hailey. says:

    I agree with everyone that has said that the ‘minis’ seem over the top. I guess they’re trying to get more kids interested, but I’m a person that fell in love with the original cast/story line. I was at one point excited about HSM3. Now all I’m looking forward to are the new movies the HSM actors are starring in. Will. 17 Again. Upstairs.

  14. Amy says:

    Go to Perez, he has some new info! Ash and V left LA for Utah today. Check it out: http://perezhilton.com/2008-03-24-back-together-one-last-time

  15. Amy says:

    Haha ok nevermind, Suzy already posted pics!! My bad… :)

  16. cookiemonster says:

    Did Vanessa actually leave because Miss Vanessa is reporting that x17 is saying that she just dropped Ashley off?

  17. Aliza says:

    ummm… maybe having new characters is okay, but what about siblings? We know that Sharpay and Ryan are twins and that Taylor has an older sister but is it probable that Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Jason, Zeke, Kelsi, and Martha don’t have siblings?

    I can see Chad having little sisters and Taylor with a whole lot of siblings. Maybe throw in someone’s older sibling to help along with advice regarding the Troyella college problem…

    Come on!! I want to see more family!!

  18. RK says:

    “E” news just had a piece on the 3 new stars on their show last night. The new actors do seem to have a prominent role in the movie and the host started out the segment by saying, “Move over, Zac and Vanessa….”

  19. Emily. says:

    Aw. Having new characters is one thing. Having new characters take over is another.
