Blake Draper is making his movie debut in the new Disney rom-com Prom Pact!
The actor stars as Graham Lansing, the popular all-star jock, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum.
In the movie taking place at the height of prom season, high school senior Mandy Yang (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben (Milo Manheim) are surrounded by over-the-top ’80s-themed promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard.
When she finds out that she has been put on the waitlist, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself accepted, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors ― popular all-star jock Graham Lansing (Draper), whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum.
Once Mandy becomes Graham’s tutor, she begins to realize there’s more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
