Chris Hemsworth has his brother to thank for his role in Thor. Hemsworth admits his younger brother pushed him to nab the role of Thor. After all, it wasn?t like the older brother could let Liam Hemsworth snag the part from underneath him.
Hemsworth said ?I came into the audition and thought I nailed it and then never heard anything back. Months went by and then my brother, my little brother, Liam, was in Australia and sent a tape across and he got a call back, then another call back and then was down to the last kind of four or five people for it.? However, the Norse pantheon must have blessed Hemsworth as Thor continued casting. As it turned out, none of Marvel?s frontrunners were offered the movie?s titular role, and the opening gave Hemsworth?s one more chance at suiting up.
