Ashley Tisdale, perhaps best known for her role as Sharpay in High School Musical and also rather well-known for her role as Maddie in The Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, has signed on to star in a support role in Hellcats, a pilot for the CW network. The role would mark the always-working Tisdale's first on a regular broadcast series.
The series' protagonist is Marti, a college girl from the wrong side of the tracks who loses a scholarship, due to budget cuts and her mother's irresponsible actions. Marti is a member of the Hellcats, her school's competitive cheerleading team.
The 'Tis will play a character named Sierra, the cheerleading squad's captain and roommate of Marti, who at first clashes with her before coming to the realization that Marti may be the missing link the team needs to win their championship.Does this sound like a show that you would watch? Do you think Tisdale will have a long and successful post-HSM career?
