Chris Hemsworth, an Australian actor who started his career with performances in Television series. Long before he won the hearts of millions of fans with his appearance as Thor for Marvel cinematics, Hemsworth established himself as a successful actor.
Known for his ripped physique, golden hair, and extraordinary action scenes, Hemsworth first appeared as Thor in the introductory film for his character by Marvel Cinematics in 2011. His recent appearance as Thor came in Avengers: Endgame in 2019. This was the time when Hemsworth made a place for himself among the world’s highest-paid actors. But restricting Hemsworth’s identity to just the character of Thor would be an injustice to his character.
He started his acting career with his appearances in several series. Before featuring in films, Hemsworth featured as King Arthur in two episodes of the fantasy television series Guinevere Jones. He also featured in series like Neighbours, Marshall Law, and The Saddle Club. Hemsworth was also a contestant on the fifth season of Dancing With the Stars, Australia. It may surprise you that both Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were cast for the roles of Thor and Loki at the same time.
