From his initial audition for the role of 'Troy,' to working with Kenny Ortega to develop his character, and the reality of living in a moldy apartment while the movie was blowing up! He also shares some memorable moments from the HSM tour, the bittersweet bonus check, and the Glee role he came very close to landing!
