Happy Birthday Chris Hemsworth! 5 Remarkable Roles Portrayed By The Actor (And No, They're Not Him Being Marvel's Thor)
Chris Hemsworth celebrates his 35th birthday today. The actor is originally from Australia and is currently taking a break from Hollywood after back-to-back hits thanks to his role as Marvel's Thor. We, however, would like to talk about his non-Thor films that worked well!
Chris Hemsworth, who turns 35 today, is best known for his role as Marvel's Thor. Well, considering how Marvel managed to tweak the original Thor's personality and bring some humour in him, it has certainly worked with the audience. Not to mention how Taika Waititi brought forth a whole new Thor and how the otherwise dull franchise managed to work phenomenally at the box office. Needless to say, the actor has continued to deliver fun roles but by far, Thor has been the only big breakthrough that people recognise him for.

Star Trek (2009)
Remember the film where the very handsome Chris Pine played James T. Kirk? Well, turns out the handsome Kirk's father was portrayed by another handsome Chris, Hemsworth! For Star Trek, Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Morrison played George Kirk and Winona Kirk, parents to James Kirk. Needless to say, Star Trek, one of fandom's favourite's, is also a good movie that fits well in Hemsworth's filmography.
The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
If you've not watched this horror spoof then you're definitely missing out a lot in life! A met-feat that brings the chills but the humour in one cabin-like setting is one of Hemsworth's best. Not to mention, he does play a college jock in the film, not very surprising considering how his looks give away. Anyway, with it's wicked and twisted tale that entertains dark humour, this too became one of Hemsworth's good films.
Rush (2013)
Apart from doing mainstream work, Hemsworth has also tried his hand in sports drama with Rush. Starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl in pivotal roles, critics have raved about the film and called it one of the finest and well-crafted sports drama. Yes, special mention has been given to Hemsworth's performance too.
Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
Sure, it doesn't have well-to-do figures at the box office but Bad Times at the El Royale does have an ensemble of stylish performers. Calling it Hollywood's masala flick, the movie has Hemsworth walk around showing his god-like body and delivering a performance that is true to the script.
Ghostbusters (2016)
When we're speaking of Hemsworth's best, we simply cannot miss Ghostbusters. The film where Hemsworth played a drop-dead gorgeous Kevin has been widely appreciated for its humour, the harem cast and well, being able to match to the original Ghostbusters with Bill Murray. Now that is a trick and Hemsworth certainly managed to stand out.
