Reason 2: He can sing and dance.

So many actors try to sing and singers try to act -- but most aren't successful at all. But that surely doesn't apply to Zac! "I've always been singing. Since day one," he tells Teen magazine. "I started doing musical theatre and you have to sing in musical theatre… When you're around other vocal artists, you get better at singing. And after that, I started taking lessons." Is a career in music in Zac's future? "Possibly, but it's gonna take a long time because I would really put my heart and soul into an album," he tells the mag. "I wouldn't just have other people write songs and me go out and sing it. I would sit down with a guitar and write 11 or 12 good songs for an album and that is gonna take a long time." Until then, we're more than happy to see Zac showcase his vocal talents (and dancing abilities!) as Link Larkin in Hairspray.
