"Often when he'd go out on an audition, Christopher O'Neal would tell his mom about his ideal role. 'I would say, "Mom, he would be cool, but not really good with the ladies, but here and there he'd get the girl in the end,"' the 17-year-old Teaneck actor says.... 'On set and off, I dance all the time,' says O'Neal, who's actually a senior at Teaneck High School, where he's been in the theater program."
