"Thomas McDonell - the ruggedly attractive 24-year-old star  of the new movie Prom (out April  29th) &amp;ndash; isn&amp;rsquo;t the most natural choice for  Disney&amp;rsquo;s next High School Musical-style  franchise. Since graduating from NYU a  few years ago, McDonell, son of Sports Illustrated editor Terry McDonell, has lived  a very un-Zac Efron-y downtown bohemian lifestyle &amp;ndash; exhibiting artwork at New  York galleries and making music with his  band, Moon. &amp;ldquo;They like for their actors to  be the characters in the film,&amp;rdquo; he says of  Disney. &amp;ldquo;Or if they&amp;rsquo;re not, they try to meld  them. They really are feeling the meld.&amp;rdquo; So  how did he get the part? &amp;ldquo;I tricked them,&amp;rdquo;  he says, laughing. &amp;ldquo;Just kidding, I didn&amp;rsquo;t  trick them.&amp;rdquo;\r\n-Doree Shafrir"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
