High School Musical 3 director Kenny Ortega has found the perfect new dancer and stand-in for his mega-star, Zac Efron, and he even shares his first name!
Zack Wilson, one of the winners of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann and the former fiancé of Dancing with the Stars pro Julianne Hough, was brought in because Efron has been tied up with filming Me and Orson Welles for the last month, which coincided with the first three and a half weeks of HSM3 rehearsals. That meant that Efron, arriving in Salt Lake City this week, had to catch up fast to learn the complicated dance routines. “A lot of the dancers they use for HSM come from the studio (Center Stage Performing Arts Studio in Provo, Utah) where I grew up studying dance,” says Wilson. “So Kenny Ortega contacted the director of the studio and asked if he knew anyone who was a quick learner who could learn a bunch of choreography and then possibly teach it [to Zac Efron]. And the director referred him to me.”
