After graduating from high school, Lucas Grabeel set out for L.A., hoping to forge a career as an actor. His big break came in 2006 when he was cast in the smash-hit Disney TV movie High School Musical, which shot to the height of popularity among kids and young teens, along with its soundtrack. Grabeel followed up the performance with appearances on various TV shows like Smallville and Veronica Mars, but he knew to keep a good thing going: he signed up for the sequel High School Musical 2, reprising the role of dim-witted Ryan Evans. Over the next several years, Grabeel would continue to find success on screen, appearing most notably on the series Switched at Birth.
