[edit] Career
After graduating high school, Lucas Grabeel moved to Los Angeles to become an actor. Several months after the move, he landed his first Disney Channel Original Movie, Halloweentown High. His breakthrough performance was in the blockbuster (Disney) High School Musical as Ryan Evans, fraternal twin of Sharpay Evans, in which he sang two duet songs with Ashley Tisdale: What I've Been Looking For and Bop to the Top. He also sang with Ashley Tisdale, Zac Efron and Vanessa Anne Hudgens in "I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" which was not in the movie, but was an extra track on the soundtrack.
Grabeel has made TV Guest appearances on TV series such as Boston Legal, Smallville , Til Death, and Veronica Mars. He also participated in the first ever Disney Channel Games on the green team with team captain Ashley Tisdale, Mitchel Musso, Kyle Massey, Miley Cyrus, and Emily Osment. Lucas also reprised his role as Ethan Dalloway in the fourth Halloweentown movie, "Return to Halloweentown". On Thanksgiving Day 2006, he was featured on a High School Musical float alongside co-stars Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, and Monique Coleman singing the number "We're All in This Together", both Lucas and Corbin splitting half of Zac Efron's (Troy) lines from the song. Lucas Grabeel also sang the same song, at the 2006 Miss Teen USA pageant, singing the chorus while the contestants introduced themselves.
Lucas recently filmed the movie Alice as the character of Lester McKinley, which is an independent film based off the "Alice" series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. It is expected to release in selected theaters in spring 2007. He just finished touring on the High School Musical: The Concert tour along with Drew Seeley, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, and Monique Coleman.
