Joey Gaydos played Zack Mooneyham, a.k.a. "Zack-Attack," in School of Rock. He was the lead guitarist for the band. His father discourages his passion for music, but Dewey pushes him to continue practicing and chasing his dream. It turns out that offscreen, Gaydos has always been super passionate about his music career. In 2004, shortly after School of Rock was released, Gaydos kept his career momentum from the film going and put out his first album, Joey Gaydos Jr., through Red Penguin Records.
Today, Gaydos performs solo and with the band Stereo Jane. However, it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Gaydos — in early 2019, his name was all over the internet, but it wasn't for dropping a catchy single or releasing a solid album. In February, Gaydos was actually arrested for stealing guitars from multiple music stores in Sarasota, Venice, and North Port, Florida. He was caught on camera and later charged with two counts of grand theft and one count of shoplifting. Hopefully, Gaydos has learned from his mistakes and will clean up his act while continuing to move forward with his music career — with guitars that he's actually purchased.
