Jake Thomas, who has starred in Disney Channel’s “Cory in the House” and also the Steven Spielberg movie “A.I.” is vying for a role in High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
“Yesterday was a first for me,” he tells the Insider. “It was the first time I had to sing for an audition. It was an interesting challenge for me, but I think I was up for it.”
More HSM movies are a possibility, but they will be done without Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and the rest of the current cast members. In HSM 3, the current cast is graduating High School, but a new cast of characters will be introduced to carry on the song-and-dance routines for future movies.
Thomas is auditioning for a lead male role, which would fill the void in any other HSM movies when Zac Efron is gone.
“The character I am auditioning for would take over Zac Efron’s (function). He would be the new star basketball player at the school,” he says.
Although Jake can sing, he doesn’t consider himself much of a dancer.
He recently earned his High School diploma as well as his own place to live. So, even though in real life his High School days are over, they may be just beginning for his movie career.
So, what do you think – Is Jake Thomas a good fit for High School Musical 3: Senior Year? I wonder if he auditioned for the same role as Tony Oller did, which is Jimmie “The Rocket” Soto.
Good luck to you Jake!

Hmm..Idk. I dont personally like the whole idea of having new MAIN characters in HSM3. I’m gunna miss The Gabriella and Troy ONLY moments. And just having the 6 main roles; Gabriella,Troy,Sharpay,Ryan,Taylor, and Chad.
I dont like the fact that future hms might have diffent characters i think they should make it
with the same characters mabye they could change the name to collage musical! where sharpay could turn nice and have 6 other mean people that they could be in compition with another collage
Ya college musical! i like that idea
I totally love that information cause I’m Jake Thomas biggest fan!
Go! jake thomas i will always love you
i would like to be a main caherter if my mom would let me
