"HSM3" director Kenny Ortega picked up Wilson as a stand-in for star Zac Efron, who was busy filming "Me and Orson Wells" and missed the first few weeks of rehearsals, TVGuide.com reports.

When Efron finally made it to the set, Ortega decided to keep Wilson around, he said.

"I'll be in a few dance numbers in the movie," Wilson told TVGuide.com.

Wilson is the former fiance of "Dancing with the Stars" pro Julianne Hough.
