The Lie That Got Liam Hemsworth His Big Break

Even though Liam Hemsworth lied about his volleyball skills, he was still cast in "The Last Song," which finally earned him his big break in the world of acting. 

Hemsworth told People, "That was the first job I got [in the U.S.], and it was literally right at the end of my three-month visa." Talk about cutting it close! So, what did the handsome hunk do when it came time to film his volleyball scenes? He used the skills he learned on set from volleyball coach Brittany Schmidt.

"I was the one tossing to Liam so he could look like a true presence at the net," Schmidt said during an interview with the Springfield News-Sun back in 2009. Schmidt had worked with Hemsworth prior to filming to give him a basic understanding of the moves and stayed close to him on set to help him execute them properly. Apparently, her coaching paid off since Hemsworth wasn't booted from the film and those volleyball scenes look pretty convincing when you're watching the movie.
