Chris Hemsworth has gone from rising star to superstar over the past two years. The Thor actor has proven that he is the real deal and, as a result, appeared in four movies in 2012. To be fair, two of those films, The Cabin in the Woods and Red Dawn were made a few years ago, but were not released in a timely manner. Regardless, there was little to like about Red Dawn, besides Hemsworth's performance as the leader of a resistance group who are trying to reclaim their country from invaders. The Cabin in the Woods was a much better film, with Hemsworth playing more of a supporting role, but he was effective nonetheless.
Of course, it was Hemsworth's portrayal of Thor that made him a household name and he reprised that role for this year's mega-hit The Avengers. Although Thor was one of many characters in the ensemble cast, Hemsworth made him stand out in several scenes. Another film that allowed Hemsworth to showcase his physical talents was Snow White and the Huntsman, which was released this past summer and became a hit. Looking ahead, Thor 2 will be released in 2013 and another installment of Snow White and the Huntsman is "to be determined." but it appears that Hemsworth will reprise his role if the film becomes a reality.
Obviously, Chris Hemsworth's good looks and physical presence have helped land him roles in major films. However, there is much emotion simmering beneath his brawny exterior and it is on display in many of his performances. He excels at playing the "everyman" hero who can always be looked upon to help those in need. Besides that, Hemsworth appears to be a friendly and down to earth guy who you would want to have a beer with. He has also caught the eye of talented directors, including Ron Howard, who cast Hemsworth in the upcoming film Rush, as race car driver James Hunt. That speaks volumes about his talent and potential. I am certain that Chris Hemworth's star will continue to rise in 2013 and beyond.
