Before Thor, actor Chris Hemsworth was best known for his role as Kim Hyde in the Australian soap opera Home and Away. When he was cast as Thor, though, things changed quickly. He went from being a cult favorite to one of the biggest stars in Hollywood overnight. Since then, he’s appeared in several movies that have made him even more famous. Here are some of them.
Thor
The film’s story follows Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful warrior who reacts foolishly to an already-resolved situation. As punishment for his arrogance, he is stripped of his powers and banished to Earth — where he must learn what it takes to become a true hero.
Cabin in the Woods
In this modern horror/comedy, five friends head to a remote cabin in the woods and encounter horrors beyond their imagination.
Star Trek Into Darkness
Chris Hemsworth plays George Kirk, the father of Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine). George Kirk is on a mission to find Spock (Zachary Quinto) when he and Nero (Eric Bana) attack his crew. He sacrifices himself to save his crew from the attacking Romulans. In the process, he dies so that Spock can live.
Snow White and the Huntsman
The story begins with a young princess named Snow White raised to be queen after her father dies. However, she must contend with an evil queen who wants her throne and later hunts down Snow White when she discovers that she might be able to kill her. To survive this deadly assault on her life, Snow White enlists help from seven dwarves in nearby mountainside caves and some other surprising allies along the way.
