George Clooney may be a superstar now but back then he had to beg and lie just to land a role.

The Golden Globe award-winning actor narrates how he lied and got caught for a film role.

Clooney, 46, says he wouldn't have been caught if only the casting director wasn't the same one who did the movie he lied about he got.

"You couldn't get a job without getting into the Screen Actors Guild, so everybody would make up these credits just to get in. They didn't have Internet then so you go away with anything," he says to Contactmusic.com.

"I remember lying to a casting director about this movie Cat People. She was like, 'You were in that?' I was like, yep, and she goes, 'Because I cast that.' Finally I just said, 'I can't get in the SAG. Help me!'

"She helped me get a job on a film called The Predator. The movie never came out, that's how bad a film it was. But I got my SAG card," the actor says.
