Chris Hemsworth is an Australian actor known for taking on the role of the god of thunder in the 2011 movie "Thor" and in "The Avengers," which was released in 2012. He is also known for the role of Kim Hyde in "Home and Away," which is an Australian television soap opera. He was born on August 11, 1983 in Melbourne and was raised there and in the Northern Territory. His father, Craig, is a social services counselor, and his mother, Leonie, is an English teacher. He has two brothers: Liam and Luke. They are also actors.
Chris attended Heathmont College during his high school years. After he graduated, his family moved back to the Northern Territory. After a few years, they moved again to Phillip Island, which is situated about 87 miles from Melbourne, Victoria.
Hemsworth's acting career began in 2004. In the early months of that year, he was working as a bartender in a popular, elite nightclub in Melbourne called Silvers. He often encountered prominent people from the Australian film industry, such as Sebastian Zimmermann; it is likely where he received inspiration to begin an acting career. That same year, he auditioned for the role of Robbie Hunter in the Australian soap opera "Home and Away." He didn't get the part but was recalled and landed the role of Kim Hyde. He moved to Sydney as this is where the soap opera is largely filmed. He played that role until July 3, 2007, appearing in 171 episodes and receiving two Logie Award nominations. He won the Most Popular New Talent Award.
His first Hollywood role was as George Kirk in J.J. Abrams' film "Star Trek," which was released in 2009. George Kirk is the father of the legendary captain of the starship Enterprise, James T. Kirk. He only appeared in the early scenes and even though the movie itself was highly successful, Hemsworth's performance didn't receive the attention it deserved.
other Hollywood acting credits to his name include the 2009 psychological-thriller movie, "A Perfect Getaway," which was directed and written by David Twohy, and the role of Sam Phelan in the 2010 independent crime-thriller "Ca$h." This was actually his first film role when he arrived in the United States. He had only been in the country for six weeks when he auditioned for the part. Stephen Milburn Anderson, the director of "Ca$h," noticed his talent, looks, and perseverance and gave Hemsworth a role in the film. It was around this time that his acting talent began to attract attention in the right circles and his career started to move upward.
Hemsworth also starred in the movie "The Cabin in the Woods." It's a satirical horror flick that was released in 2012 and produced by Joss Whedon. After shooting finished and largely through Joss Whedon's insistence and cajoling, Hemsworth auditioned for and landed the role of Thor.
Chris Hemsworth shot to international stardom because of his performance as the Asgardian superhero in the 2011 movie "Thor." That movie, produced by Kevin Fiege, is based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name. Hemsworth has since returned to the same role in the 2012 superhero film "The Avengers," which was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Motion Pictures. It grossed more than $1.5 billion and is currently the third highest-grossing film of all time. The movie is hugely popular around the world, and it has earned many awards and nominations. It is also the fastest movie to gross $1 billion. The success of these two films alone has brought Hemsworth massive fame and a lot of fans
