Adrien Zmed: worst casting ever


Honestly, when you think if cool, leather jacket wearing stud, you think if Zmed right?

Are you comparing him to John Travolta's character?

He was supposed to be that way in Grease 2, that's what set it up for Stephanie to be sick of him and find someone else (the fantasy bike rider).

This actor played it well. If he was a cool leather jacket wearing stud, the whole movie would fall apart. All of the T Birds were a bit of a joke in this movie, that's why it was fitting that he was leading them and that Stephanie didn't want anything to do with them and wanted to look elsewhere.

Don't agree at all-there's never any suggestion Stephanie and he would get back together-they are broken up. The story with Zmed is that he falls in love with the chunky blonde girl.
The leader of the T Birds is supposed to be cool-you aren't supposed to question that(see the original-Danny and Kineke are BOTH cool). The fact that Zmed is so tiny and wimpy makes the T birds a laughingstock.
No one EVER laughed at Danny or Kineke's coolness in the original.
Doenst work and just another reason why the novie failed horribly...
