Matt Prokop was a part of High School Musical 3: Senior Year - Character and other details explored
Matt Prokop has several acting credits to his name from when he started his career. However, he gained a lot of popularity for his role as Jimmie Zara in 2008's High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
Jimmie was a new student at East High and joined the school's basketball team. He had a dream of becoming a basketball star and discussed it with his friends, including Donnie Dion (Justin Martin). In one of the scenes, Jimmie and Donnie open their lockers to find their things missing.
When they try to figure out the reason behind this, Troy (Zac Efron) and Chad (Corbin Bleu) inform them that they emptied the lockers to make a locker switch. However, this turns out to be false and Troy and Chad run around the school with Jimmie and Donnie's clothes as the latter chase them.
The four reach the auditorium and interrupt a stage rehearsal, which leads to Ms. Darbus (Alyson Reed) giving them detention. However, she also chooses Jimmie as an understudy.
Jimmie later gets a chance to participate in the championship and makes the winning shot as Troy passes the ball. During the Senior Year Spring Musical Medley, Troy tells Jimmie that he won't be present for the first act. This leads to Jimmie finding an alternate way to join Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) and sing, winning the audience's hearts.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year served as the third entry in the High School Musical film franchise. The teen musical drama was successful at the box office.
Although Matt Prokop was arrested on Saturday, additional details about the arrest, the exact charges he faces, and if he has a bond, have not been revealed. Neither Matt nor his representatives had made any comment about the charges at the time of writing this article.
