He's got the high school hero game down pat. Hot Zac Ephron won tween and teen hearts as Troy in the mega-popular "High School Musical" after many guest roles on TV and a bunch of musical stage experience. Zac had to give up the concert tour for "High School Musical" to play heartthrob Link Larkin in the new movie musical Hairspray but you can catch him this August in "High School Musical 2" which takes place during the characters' summer vacation.

Pretty, blonde Brittany Snow just can't get out of the '60's! She starred as a 1960's teen on a dance show in the NBC series "American Dreams". Now, she's Amber Von Tussle, Link's girl and snotty princess of the Corny Collins dance show in Hairspray. Of course, in between she was on the big screen in The Pacifier and John Tucker Must Die and will pop up again soon in the teen horror thriller re-make Prom Night.

We chatted with these two young stars recently in Beverly Hills. Brittany looked a little retro in her long, '60's style hair and a red rose blouse. Of course, that dark blood red nail polish makes a more modern statement. Zac was casual in yellow, long-sleeved tee with "North Carolina" and a wind surfer on it. The first thing you notice about both young actors is their amazing blue eyes and friendly natures. We learned what the two think of the 1960's dances, that Brittany's best friend played Amber on Broadway and that Zac was, at first, rejected for the role of Link!
