Chris Hemsworth in the role that made him a super star![/caption]You know, one of the things that I have learned about the entertainment industry as time has gone on, and the further and further away that I get from those entertainers that I watched growing up, go from being the hottest new artist in their respective industries, to being the seasoned veterans (and sadly a few of them beginning that slow decent toward retirement), that the entertainment industry is a revolving door for artists...
A great example of this for me is the heavy metal band, 'Metallica'... Now I have absolutely loved their music since I was in High School (they are personally my favorite band of all time!) But to me, with all of the images I have seen of them, they have always looked... well not always like they were in their 20s or anything, but they never looked like truly aged... And I happened to see a picture of them recently... And they didn't looks like really old or anything, but they no longer looked like youngish head bangers, but like older seasoned musicians!
With that said though, since the new millennium I have seen a lot of actors and actresses come in and replace those that were the hot new actors and actresses in Hollywood... And a lot of them have been pretty good... Their have also been a few that I will admit that have been pretty awful... But the problem is that non of them have struck me as truly spectacular... Until now!

Chris Hemsworth as, 'Thor' with Robert Downey Jr. as, 'Iron Man' in, 'The Avengers'... A good example of an actor who got his start in the 80s and another in the new millennium...[/caption]Chris Hemsworth (Thor)... The truth is, is one for one every movie I have ever seen of his, I have absolutely always loved... Rather it be, Thor (2011), or even, The Cabin In The Woods (2011), I have found that everything that he has done has been truly a powerhouse performance!
Now the truth is, is when I first saw, Thor, I wasn't a huge fan of the movie... But that wasn't because of his role in the movie, no in this case I found that Mr. Hemsworth really lead a very commanding performance in the role.. And I found him really believable as the sorta of rich kid... 'God' that kind of took his role as the heir to, 'Asgard' and his path from that in to the responsible eventual leader!
And I found that he has held a very commanding leadership role in almost all of the films that I had seen him in... And the truth is, is at one point I began to wonder if he could only do well in a leadership role, but then I saw, The Avengers (2012)... And boy was I wrong!

'Thor' (Chris Hemsworth' with some of the other, 'Avengers'[/caption]You know I thought because he was only in those leadership roles, that he might end up either intentionally or unintentionally stealing the show, or stepping on the other casts toes... (so to speak), but the truth is, is I found that he did not do that at all, and that he worked very well in a role where there really was not a primary role, but that all of the main cast was as important as the other... And he really proved himself in that capacity as well!
So in the end, I have to say that I was absolutely truly impressed with this powerhouse actor, and if you haven't seen any of his work yet, then why not check it out, I found him to be a fun actor, and if you check out his work, then you might find the same thing as well!
