Liam Hemsworth

He is an Australian actor, born in Melbourne, Australia on 13th of January 1990. He has two older brothers, who also work as actors.  He said that though there is competition for jobs among them, it is friendly and quoted, "We are brothers and we are always competitive, but it is a good thing, it pushes us and we are always happy whenever someone books something."

Upon becoming an actor, he laid floors for six months. He takes into consideration of following his brothers’ footsteps in high school by participating in school plays, until he had found himself an agent. Eventually, he had his first audition at the age of sixteen and began his career in 2007 as guest spot on different shows. Then he started filming as he took the role of Josh Taylor in the soap opera Neighbours and as Marcus on the children's television series The Elephant Princess. Liam moved to the United States to pursue a big-screen career.


His big screen career started not so good as his character was written out of the script for The Expendables (2010) days before filming and he lost the title role of Thor (2011) to his brother Chris - Liam was cast opposite Miley Cyrus in the Nicholas Sparks drama The Last Song (2010).  He was the Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards 2010 host. He and Miley Cyrus won the "Fave Kiss" category.  His fame made him thrust into leading man status, and was cast as Gale Hawthorne in the big-screen adaptation of the best-selling novel The Hunger Games (2012). Following the blockbuster success of that film, Liam nabbed a number of roles, including a supporting part in The Expendables 2 (2012) and leading roles in the war drama Love and Honor (2013), the crime drama Empire State (2013), and the thriller Paranoia (2013/I). He will also star as Ali Baba in a 3D production of Arabian Nights (2014) and will reprise the role of Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013).
