Liam The Hunger Games, 2011
Soon after leaving Neighbours, Liam won a part in British film Triangle, which didn’t have rave reviews but in 2009 he was awarded a part opposite Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables. Unfortunately his role was subsequently cut from the film but on the day Liam learned he would not appear in the film, director Kenneth Branagh phoned the young actor and asked him to audition for the lead role in his upcoming movie…Thor. The young Hemsworth moved immediately to Los Angeles and into his brother Chris’s apartment where the two realised they were auditioning for the same part. Liam lost the part to Chris but that same week he auditioned for another role and won the part of Will in the film The Last Song opposite Miley Cyrus whom he later became engaged to, although they have now split.
In 2010 the younger Hemsworth was predicted by Details Magazine as one of the Next Generation of Leading Men and it seemed their predictions were right as Liam gained the role of Gale in greatly anticipated film, The Hunger Games in 2011. With rave reviews, other roles soon came flooding in, including Empire State with Emma Roberts and Paranoia with Harrison Ford. His latest role has been reprising Gale in the second instalment of the Hunger Games and we are sure to see Liam on the big screen again very soon.
As talented families go, the Hemsworth brothers are quickly making their mark in the acting world and follow other famous siblings including Ben and Casey Affleck and the Baldwin brothers. With oldest brother Luke set to soon join Chris and Liam in Hollywood it seems the name Hemsworth will go down in acting history.
