Spotlight: Corbin Bleu
High School Musical's Corbin Bleu, 17, is leaping into a new role in the Disney Channel movie Jump In! Corbin plays Izzy Daniels, a teenage boxer following in the footsteps of his father. After a friend convinces him to fill in on her double-Dutch team, Izzy realizes that jumping rope is his real passion. Afraid of being teased and not wanting to disappoint his father, Izzy tries to keep his new talent hidden.
Corbin hopes Jump In! will inspire young people to be true to themselves. "So many kids don't pursue their goals because there's so much pressure from their peers to do something else," he told TFK. "Kids will be able to watch this and say, 'Wow, I can follow my own dream.'" Visit timeforkids.com/jump for more.
