Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth is one of the most well-known Aussie action stars for his role as a Norse God in the Thor and Avengers series. All praise our Lord and Saviour Chris Hemsworth wearing a red cape and swinging around a giant hammer in the MCU. He’s als stealing a spot as the receptionist in the female reboot of Ghostbusters. But we all know what’s really behind that buff man with lush locks routine; this Melbourne boy is most likely trying to cover up his hilarious and humble past in Australian dramas. Hemsworth was a surfer with a drinking problem on the set of Home and Away and a sexy vet on The Saddle Club. Bless.

Liam Hemsworth

Younger brother to Chris and Luke, Liam Hemsworth earned himself star status after appearing in The Hunger Games series alongside Jennifer Lawrence and also as Billy the Kid in The Expendables 2. Oh, and there’s also Independence Day: Resurgence on the way. However, let’s not forget where this hot Aussie star originated. Hemsworth got his first audition for Home and Away at the tender age of 16 while growing up in Melbourne with his family. He appeared in McLeod’s Daughters before becoming a regular character on the soap Neighbours, where his character, Josh Taylor, was confined to a wheelchair. There was even a little rivalry between brothers when Hemsworth was turned down for the role of Thor in favour of his older sibling Chris.

Jai Courtney

Jai Courtney is an Aussie grown action star who has fought robots and underworld forces while still maintaining his 5pm shadow. He’s held lead roles in Divergent with Shailene Woodley, A Good Die to Die Hard alongside Bruce Willis, the TV show Spartacus: War of the Damned, Jack Reacher alongside Tom Cruise and Terminator Genysis alongside action legend Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jai will also appear in the upcoming Suicide Squad, which stars every Hollywood star ever. Courtney grew up in Sydney before moving to Western Australia to study acting, which led him to his roles in popular Aussie dramas All Saints and Packed to the Rafters.

Joel Edgerton

Joel Edgerton gained star status by taking on lead roles in films such as Warrior, Exodus: Gods and Kings and the Black Mass. He’s played an MMA fighter, Egyptian pharaoh and brother to an intergalactic fighter in Star Wars: Episodes II and III, but did you know that this Sydney boy also performed with the Sydney Theatre Company? He was in a number of stage plays, namely A Street Car Named Desire, before gaining a role as Will in the award-winning Aussie drama The Secret Life of Us.

Jason Clarke

Jason Clarke is the action figure we all wanted as children. He fights apes, robots and terrorists like it’s nobody’s business. Staring in epics like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Zero Dark Thirty and Terminator Genisys, Clarke has seen his fair share of action. He’s also seen his fair share of Aussie drama after appearing in Blue Heelers, Heartbreak High, All Saints and Home and Away before breaking into film.
