Matt Prokop may have been told he would not be asked back for “High School Musical 4″, but that didn’t stop him from going after roles elsewhere! According to the Hollywood Reporter, Matt has landed a role in a family comedy with Brendan Fraser called “Furry Vengeance”.

Matt will play “a sarcastic city kid transplanted to the country after his father moves them there to build a housing subdivision” and “the two do battle with local wildlife fed up with intrusions into their Oregon wilderness.”

Filming is scheduled to begin July 6 for a potential July 2010 release.

A huge congrats to Matt Prokop for snagging this role! Stay tuned for more information about the film and hopefully Matt will say something about this via his MySpace.

Other roles Matt has been in include “High School Musical 3″, “The Office” and “Hannah Montana”. He’s also rumored to be in the comedy “Cougar Hunting” as Tyler.

Matt Prokop Says “Vote for Me!”

“High School Musical 3″ star Matt Prokop has been nominated for a Poptastic Award and he wants your votes! He’s never been nominated for anything and is pretty excited about it.

Popstar caught up with Matt and he gives us a little “Please vote for me!” message. As most of you probably already know, Matt was not asked to reprise his HSM3 role in the upcoming “High School Musical 4″. He announced back in early March that Disney was taking the movie in a different direction.

We also recently learned that he wasn’t the only one not asked to be in the film! Jemma McKenzie-Brown won’t be back as Tiara either. HSM4 is going to be a completely brand new movie, with a brand new cast.

Very interesting isn’t it?!

No HSM4 for Matt Prokop

Julie Bonner — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:19:08 +0000

Disney announced last week that they will be continuing with the HSM franchise and will start filming “High School Musical 4” later this year.

The old cast – Zac, Vanessa, Ashley, Corbin, Lucas, Monique – will not be joining in on the new movie, since they have all graduated high school and moved on.

So, who’s taking over the franchise? Will is be the new cast like Jemma, Chris and Matt? Well, according to Matt Prokop’s latest MySpace update, it will not include him.

“Not only will HSM4 not feature your loved wildcats: Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, and Taylor, but I will also not be apart of it. Disney decided to go with a completely different story line. I’m so thankful to be apart of HSM3 before they decided to change everything. Enjoy the new characters……. whoever they will be. Matt.”

Wow, I am kind if in shock. What do you guys think about Matt being out?

Can Matt Prokop Carry the Lead Role in ‘High School Musical 4′?

Julie Bonner — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:24:13 +0000

Matt Prokop has made his big screen debut in “High School Musical 3″. Kenny Ortega brought in 3 newbies, who most likely are there to carry on the HSM franchise.

So now that you have seen Prokop in action, do you think he has what it takes to step in and be the lead role in a new High School Musical film? I thought his most brilliant scene in the whole movie was when he took over Troy’s spot in the musical and sang with Sharpay. Classic scene!

Let me know what you think of Matt Prokop by voting in the poll below and also add your comments on this post. I’ll do a poll for the other two newbies in a couple of days.
