Video Watch: Corbin Bleu Praises Teachers During Disney Imagination Campus Visit

"As a performer, I have learned so much from different people throughout the years," says the High School Musical performer.

OG Wildcat Corbin Bleu visited the Disney Imagination Campus August 22 to chat with students from Florida's Maynard Evans High School theatre group as they rehearsed a scene from Disney's Frozen

Bleu originated the role of singing basketeer Chad Danforth in the High School Musical franchise and currently stars in season three of the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series as a "dick-ish" version of himself. He’s also starred in Broadway productions of In the Heights, Godspell, Holiday Inn, and Kiss Me, Kate.

"I really hope the biggest takeaway all these students walk away with today from the campus, is how many people have actually come to give back to teach and bestow their wisdom," says Bleu. "I really hope that they actually take all that to heart and not only apply it to their performance, but also know how important it is to pass along that information."

He continues, "As a performer, I have learned so much from different people throughout the years, not only from teachers and mentors, but fellow colleagues who have imparted their wisdom. I wouldn't be the artist that I am today had it not been for people like myself, giving back and imparting that wisdom. I hope they go ahead and continue to pay it forward."
