Chris Hemsworth is best known for playing the Marvel superhero Thor, but long before he was a big star in the U.S., he spent his childhood in the Outback. He even got his professional start in Australia on the TV series Home and Away. His other film credits include Snow White and the Huntsman, Star Trek, Red Dawn, Rush and Ghostbusters.
