The 33-year-old actor made a splash into the hearts of millions after he rose to prominence with Disney's 'High School Musical' franchise. However, not many might know that his first role in the industry was in the short-lived television series 'Firefly' in 2002. After enjoying immense success with 'HSM', Efron went on to shed that image and took on more mature roles including the one in the film 'Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile' where he played Ted Bundy. He's also known for his work in the films, 'The Lucky One', 'Neighbors', 'Dirty Grandpa', 'Baywatch' and 'The Greatest Showman Alive'.

Olien is a widely recognized exotic superfoods hunter, supplement formulator, author of the book, 'SuperLife: The five fixes that will keep you healthy, fit and eternally awesome'. He also serves as an advisor to 'P5 Energy,' a cutting edge green technology incubator with a primary focus on zero-pollution power systems.
