Could it be true?! Rumor has it that Hunter Parrish, who plays the son of the lead character on the television show Weeds, was the first choice for the role of Troy in the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical. (What would we have done without Zac Efron????)

In his interview with GQ magazine, Hunter says about being offered the role of Troy, “That is definitely a rumor but it was really, really close. It was down to five guys and then I got offered a part in this amazing Robin Williams movie. And I thought to myself: fly to Vancouver and meet the director for this Robin Williams movie, or stay and finish the auditions for the Disney Channel movie? So I didn’t even go to the last audition. I heard a rumor that I was their favorite, but I never made it to the end. I mean I would have had a blast doing it. But I’m so happy for Zac, he’s the only guy for that.”

Are you glad Zac stuck it out and got the part or do you wish Hunter has auditioned until the end?
