Larry Saperstein is a young television and musical theater actor who got his start right here on Long Island. The Islip native has loved the performing arts since as long as he can remember, and his path has taken him to one of the most beloved franchises in Disney history — High School Musical. The second season of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” premieres tomorrow on the streaming service. Saperstein is joining “The Buzz” this week to talk about what everyone can expect from his character Big Red this season, and why he credits his success to his childhood acting experience on Long Island.
