21 year old Australian actor Sebastian Gregory (“Accidents Happen”) is a leading contender to play Drew Boley in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages according to What's Playing
Of the possible casting Gregory says
“Yes, I had a call from my agent that [the producers] wanted to meet for this big Hairspray thing – which turned out to be Rock of Ages. It’s funny, I’m a drummer so to play a singer, out front, would be something different. It’d be fantastic. We’ll see how it goes…
It seems that Gregory’s musically-inclined and apparently has skills as a guitarist, drummer and songwriter explaining his fronrunner status.
