I was born on this date in 1983 in Melbourne, Australia. 
I started my acting career in my home country, playing Kim Hyde in the soap opera Home and Away 
After a successful 3 seasons there, I moved to Hollywood acting where I played a minor role in J.J Abrams’ 2009 remake of Star Trek. 
My performance as Captain Kirk’s dad led to my casting in 7 Marvel movies from 2011-2019 as Thor. 
I have also starred in other movies such as “Vacation”, “Ghostbusters”, and “Men in Black: International”. 
I am happily married and continuing my acting career into my 38th year of life. 


I am… Chris Hemsworth! Congratulations to Laura from Mount Vernon, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.
