FilmShaft have some audio interviews featuring director Richard Linklater , Zac Efron and the other cast members (they’re UK exclusives). Check them out HERE.
Cinematical.com interviewed Zac, Christian McKay and Richard Linklater about Me and Orson Welles. Check out an excerpt below and the full interview HERE.
I’ve shared a lot of experiences with Richard [Efron's character] about the theater. The way that the story unfolds, it was very reminiscent of my years in the theater, growing up.
Check out this interview with aintitcool.com featuring Zac Efron, Christian McKay and Richard Linklater.
Zac was interviewed by the Washington Post about Me and Orson Welles - check it out HERE. During their trip to Washington DC, Zac, Claire and Richard were also interviewed for the Movie Mom Blog.
Rick talked to me about it and that was probably the most flattering thing in the world, I was kind of floored.
The Guardian newspaper has a selection of interviews with the Me and Orson Welles cast, reviews from journalists and even some special articles on Orson himself. Links to all of these can be found HERE!
Movieline.com interviewed Richard Linklater during the film’s promotional tour. Although the interview isnt with Zac, he is talked about a lot during the interview and Richard says some very kind words about him. Check it out HERE.
I needed a leading man, and Zac is one. He’s got a lot of charisma, the camera loves him, he’s really gifted and a triple threat. Each generation has a group of actors that you keep up with — they do different things and have these long careers — and I really think he’s one of those guys.
IESB.net interviewed Zac and Claire Danes about their roles in Me and Orson Welles. Check it out HERE.
Here is a short excerpt from the full interview with Zac Efron at ifc.com:
It’s been a whirlwind couple of years, a very exciting time. I feel like I’m in the height of living, and I’m just absorbing everything. That’s one thing that I’m addicted to at this point, having those achievements and raising the standard.
Finally, during the production of Me and Orson Welles on the Isle of Man and in London, the author of the novel the film is based on (Robert Kaplow) visited the set. Check out his behind-the-scenes comments on production c/o The Telegraph newspaper HERE.

A really great article about MAOW & Zac:

This part especially about Zac:
Part of my own reluctance about the film was star Zac Efron, who plays 18-year-old Richard, an acolyte actor who winds up getting a bit part in Orson Welles’s landmark production of “Julius Caesar” at the famed Mercury Theater. Efron has been so maligned as a teen heartthrob that you don’t want to take him seriously. Yet, he’s just perfect as Richard, and carries his role with charm and dignity. He was good in “Hairspray,” too. It’s time to cut him some slack and forget the endless, meaningless “blobbing” about him from gossip sites.
